Russell loved them and wanted to use them immediately.

They coincidentally had lyrics that also fit into the existentialist, “what-does-it-all-mean” vibe of ‘Huckabees.’

He said he was planning on eventually releasing the vocal versions and people would see the connections, but that was years ago and he never has.

I know cause i did the interview. Love the Brion, talked to him many times, but a bit of a flake when it comes to various projects.

Not entirely his fault though, he just gets offered good work which pushes his own work to the margins.
