[edit] History

Pete Townshend explained the song's origins on his website. “This song is based on one of the very first experiments by Lawrence Ball, a composer I commissioned to create a system, and software, that would recreate the ‘Method’ music (music accurately reflecting an individual via a website) described in my three interlocked rock-opera projects: Lifehouse (The Who 1972); Psychoderelict (Pete Townshend solo 1993); The Boy Who Heard Music (Weblog Novella 2005-2006). In The Boy Who Heard Music a group of three young people form a band – The Glass Household – and their first big hit is this song.”

This song was performed live throughout the 2006-2007 US tour.
