This song is great. Sage explained this one in a very clear way. " A majority of this song was written while seeking shelter in a telephone booth during a brutal thunder storm in Rome during a festivity where business establishments were supposed to stay open all night long. Everything got chaotic when the thunderstorm knocked out all the electricity in the city. Not only was I in the middle of an area I know nothing about, but I didnt have the means to call anyone or ask anyone how to get back to my hotel. So what else are you supposed to do in a predicament like this other than turn the booth into a confessional?" haha :)

Also, what you hear Jolie Holland singing "are segments from Dante's Inferno. I have no idea if she's pronouncing the words correctly or if we edited it in a way that makes any sense, but I'm sure that my Italian fans will let me know."
