Songfacts®:

  • Fyfe Dangerfield is an English musician and songwriter who is best known as a founding member of the Avant-garde pop band Guillemots. This is the lead single from his debut solo album, Fly Yellow Moon.
  • Dangerfield told The Sun January 15, 2010 about this track: "It's the biggest-sounding song on the record. People have said it reminds them of ELO, which wasn't a conscious thing but it's very flattering."
  • Former Suede guitarist and Duffy collaborator Bernard Butler mixed this track. Dangerfield explained to The Sun: "Bernard has a great 1960s mixing desk that was perfect for getting the drums to sound really crunky and old."
  • Dangerfield told CMU his songwriting process on Fly Yellow Moon: "On this album most of the songs weren't written in one go, normally I'd get a basic melody idea in five free minutes before I had to go out or something, and then I'd carry it round in my head for a few weeks or months and gradually think of other sections or lyrics etc."
