Songfacts®:

  • This song with a promise to lead the listener out into the big wide world was written by guitarist Gem Archer. He told Q magazine October 2008: "It was just a groove, a bassline and Noel was like 'that's the one, write some words for it'. It's a stream of consciousness. And there's no guitars on it which is another thing I like as well."
  • The album title comes from a lyric on this song.
  • This was played live for the first time on August 26, 2008 at the WaMu Theater in Seattle.
