Marc, a young Austrian, had come across my lyrics and asked me to write an unusual title for him which would stand out. Maybe in the manner of "Kryptonite" by 3 Doors Down. Since I had never heard of them, I first bought their CD to get an idea. Obviously, "Kryptonite" refered to the Superman comics. The only literature I knew that came close to that genre was Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Thus, I chose "42" as a title, actually calling it "46" first, I had to look it up in a bookshop ('42' is the answer of a super computer named Deep Thought to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything). Since the Douglas Adams book had only recently been published as a film the title "42" was pretty up-to-date.
This title still has no melody to it.
