This was another '20 Song Game' effort - I wrote it the same day as Silenced
By The Night, Black Rain, and Run With Me (and, for Mt Desolation fans,
Dividing Line, Your Kind Of Life, and Wherever You Were Going). I remember
finishing it in Toronto on a day off, and then doing the demo in New York
City - another duvet-on-my-head moment! Tom was always a bit fan of this one
and really pushed it forward. That's often the way it works - you have a lot
of songs that everyone agrees on, but then each band member will have a song
that they really champion because they hear something in it that everyone
else hasn't quite picked up on yet. With Richard it was The Starting Line.
Anyway I think the emotional content of this one is quite representative of
the whole album - the story is basically "I've realised that I have no idea
what's going on in life, so I'm not going to judge anyone else!" I feel it
has an atmosphere of sympathy and grace. Also the middle 8 is one of my
favourite parts of the record. Under the word "time" at the end of the middle
8 you may be able to make out the four of us all singing "Aaaaah" very
operatically. Like a choir of angels falling down an elevator shaft.
