they recently recorded this song live for daytrotter and about the song they said
"This song was written when Brian Wilson was just about to release the Smile album for the first time. In it I tried to explore the idea of the composer who is unable or unwilling to face the weight of their own genius, and allow their fears to stop them from accomplishing great work. The art accompanying this song on the CD is a picture of Bach, but we’d originally wanted to put a picture of Brian Wilson there, and were told we couldn’t by some idiotic little director at our label’s art department. It’s stupid things like that that made us decide to avoid major labels, and so should you."
