Curt: "It's about my ex-partner [Roland Orzabal]. There was a Tears For Fears track after I left called "Fish Out Of Water" which is about me. I wrote "Sun King" after I heard "Fish Out Of Water." I was kind of flattered that someone would write a song about me. The whole thing was, in Roland's typical way, a very intelligent effort to write a song. And I'm trying to think of what would be a comical way of giving an answer. "Sun King" is incredibly base and angry. The thing is, I don't want people to get it completely out of perspective, even though it's incredibly mean and nasty. But when you actually start on these things, the song tends to take on a life of its own. The actual anger, as opposed to the direction of the anger, takes over. In the end, you semi-forget who it's about."

@biba01 Fish Out of Water was harsher. Goodnight Song was the real son in my mind. it was emotional.
