[edit] Musical structure

The song is built around a piano riff played by Barry Burns, and march-like drums, which slowly builds in volume and intensity. It was, at one point, used as a set opener by Mogwai on their 2006 tour.

[edit] Trivia

  • It is featured on the trailer for the Warner Bros film "The Brave One", starring Jodie Foster.
  • The central piano riff of this song is a citation of Crockett's Theme that Jan Hammer wrote in 1984 for the original Miami Vice Series.
