Ollie: This is a really interesting style for us. I think it's quite different from anything else we have done before. A very simple but dynamic song with great lyrics from Bob. Also quite a long song by our standards at over five minutes.

Bob: Not sure what to say about this one. The lyrics are really personal. I pretty much wrote the first couple of verses, chorus, lyrics and music, in about ten minutes. The progression is dead simple and it doesn’t change throughout the song. Its simple arrangement gave us the chance to try and be more dynamic, to fit the feeling within the lyrics which I think it does successfully. When we get it right, the chorus really kicks in and the last verse does even more so. The kind of dynamic bolt I live and play music for. This song is a winner with the audience on the few occasions we have played it live.
