I think Andrew said in an interview (regarding this song) that sometimes he feels like there should be someone (he doesn't know who) in the band that isn't, and that's how this song came about.

/will post the interview when I find it again.

That makes a lot of sense but that beat at the end makes me also think of a Michael Jackson sound. Perhaps comparing the feeling of realising he is gone to the feeling that there should be someone (he doesn't know who) in the band that isn't. That whole thing did happen whilst they were working on the album I guess. Long shot I know, thought id mention it in case anyone else thought it.

Yes, totally reminded me of "I Want You Back" with the bass line at the end!
