[edit] Overview

The track features string and choir arrangements by Hollywood composer Graeme Revell, performed by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. It is the first time the band have worked with an orchestra, which is due to feature on around 3 tracks on Puzzle.

Simon Neil has commented on the song, saying:

“ This is one of the first songs I wrote for the record and it has changed very little since its conception. I always knew I wanted a choir and strings on it, and it has a real epic feel. It's about not wanting to waste your life, but about having no idea where to turn and suddenly being aware of your own mortality.[1] ”

On 29 March, it was announced that the track will be released as a single (instead of "The Conversation Is...", as originally planned) on 7 May 2007, following a "fairly wonderful" reaction to the track when played on Zane Lowe's Radio One show.[2]
