Background[]
Speaking about the track with Apple Music, The Last Dinner Party commented on the story behind the track and how the song was created,[2]
- “I was thinking about it like an overture in a musical. Aurora composed it—she’s a fantastic composer, and it has themes from all the songs on the record. I don’t believe in shuffle except for playlists and I always liked the idea of [an album] having a start, middle, and end, and there is in this record. It sets the scene.”
- ―Abigail Morris for Apple Music
