or..."Not too long ago ETID frontman Keith Buckley was hanging out at a dive bar, when a woman who seemed too young to be there bumped into him while dancing. She spilled his drink, and he started yelling "what the fuck are you doing?!" "Afterwards, i felt really bad about it," the singer says. "I realised i was officially that old dude who doesn't like it when kids have fun. It's very defeatist." Turns out the girl works with a friend of his, so he apologised the nest day for being "grumpy old man."

Thinking about it, he began correlating the defeatist feeling with stories he'd read about Russian soldiers. "About them marching in the cold, and how they'd shoot themselves rather than endure any trauma." This train of thought beacame the fuel for "Who Invited The Russian Soldier?"
