Character Zero is the second song on the Phish album Billy Breathes. The song is 3:59 seconds in length, and features a solo guitar intro. The song was written by both Trey Anastasio and Tom Marshall. According to The Phish Book, when Trey and Tom were in the Carribibean islands writing songs for Billy Breathes, they "were at a stop light and a Jamaican DJ was on air named "the Man Mulcahey. Curious what he looked like, they couldn't help but to start singing "got to see the man mulcahey." The song proceeds from the intro with a crescendoing A major chord which acts as a powerful introduction to the song's main focus. In a live concert setting, Character Zero found itself in the anchoring position of a given set and was even played as an encore frequently. The song is also noteworthy as the band began to focus on a more traditional rock sound as opposed to its early jazz-influenced beginnings. |
