Song History

According to a March 2009 write-up in Rolling Stone magazine, Dave describes this song as "kind of like a duet between" LeRoi and himself, as "Moore's sax lines and Matthews' vocals echo each other."

Several lines of the song were sung by Dave in preludes to What You Are in the 2008 Summer Tour.
