comment

Comment from Lauri Ylönen: When our first single "Funky Jam" hit the radio, things started rolling. Our lives changed so much that year we had a hard time controlling it. Fortunately, we found a good manager, Teja Kotilainen. We already knew him. We made a strong team, and still do. We realized early on that this was only the beginning of much hard work to come.

Life 705

Life 705 is the twelfth track from the album Peep. A new version appeared in 1999 under the name "Life 705 (Version '99)". It's on the single Swimming With The Kids and the album Hell Of A Collection. Life 705 was never released but is one of the more popular songs. Lauri Ylönen wrote the text. The song was produced by The Rasmus and Teja Kotilainen.
