Jarvis' comments:
There was this bloke in the late 60s called Bob Lind. One of his most famous songs is Elusive Butterfly, which was one of my favourites when I was younger. Something about the sound of this song made me think of him. It's about someone who is a fuck-up. And sometimes there's something good about admitting that. Most people who are famous and wealthy tend to be more fucked up than everybody else.
Bob Lind he writes quite, kind of, sweet songs but then they've often got quite negative words. For instance, there's a song of his called Remember the Rain, which is basically saying: "Remember the rain, when you walk in the sunshine." It's saying: "Oh right, you might be having a good time now, but listen, you will be having a shit time soon." - which is a pretty negative thing to write about and yet it's quite a nice, jangly little tune. So that song reminded me of him a bit. So Bob Lind was just a working title, but then as sometimes happens, I couldn't think of a better one, so I just left it. And he did get in touch the other day, and said "I'm gonna sue". No, he didn't - he got in touch, and he seemed to be quite flattered that somebody had remembered him.
