Trivia/Info
- The clapping at the end of the album version continues onto The Spine's next song, "Damn Good Times".
- Danny Weinkauf does not play bass on this song. Instead, it's John Linnell playing a synth bass, which becomes apparent toward the very end of the song.
- There are three slightly different mixes of this track appearing on the EP, album and pre-release promos of the album. The EP version contains a flute solo, the promo version has a guitar solo, and the version on commercial pressings of The Spine features both the guitar solo as well as part of the flute as a fill-in before the final verse.
