This song was fall out from the tail end of "2011", and was written on the bass guitar. It was composed as a vehicle for an Ashbory Bass guitar I had purchased, which had an interesting sound, if impossible to play (the fret board is way too short). The eventual bass sound is made up of three separate bass tracks, one on the Ashbory, and two on a conventional PV electric bass guitar (one using a pick, and the other without a pick).
