Song Notes: My god, this song is gorgeous. I almost put it on The Opposite Of Smoke Is Egg Whites, but went with "Cloudburst At Shingle Street" at the last minute. Both of those songs are just amazingly good. If that weren't the long song mix, I'd probably just have put both on, but, you know, that would have been like, 14, 15 minutes. Which is a big chunk of time on 2 79 minute CDs. This is also the source for the title for this disc. And it's really keen. I like it quite a bit. Before I'd heard this song, actually, someone had that line as their signature file, and I always thought it was a really great line. So when I heard this song, it was sort of like "OH MY GOD THIS IS WHERE THEY GOT THAT" and well, it helped, but by that point I had already fallen in love with this song, so there you go. -Rev.
