One of the first samples in this song is taken a novel called The Sheltering Sky by Paul Bowles...Great read. I used to listen to this song when I was younger and never realized...Read the book a few months back and was suddenly amazed that this song contained my favourite quote from it.
'Because we don't know when we will die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well, yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more, perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless. '
