Trivia/Info
- From A Quick Guide To Long Tall Weekend: "A beautiful, plaintive ballad created by Linnell in a most unusual way. A cappella. Look to the tmbg.com site for details."
- This song was concocted when John Linnell listened to "Thunderbird" backwards and interpreted his reversed vocals into lyrics. The track itself is not "Thunderbird" reversed; instead it is Linnell, without accompaniment, singing the lyrics he heard. Although "Thunderbird" was performed live in 1999, it was not formally released until 2004.
- This song is sung by Justin McElroy in an episode of the podcast The Adventure Zone. Justin sings it in the voice of his character, The Firbolg, immediately after the passing of his character's father. This can be found in the episode titled "The Adventure Zone: Graduation: Ep. 25: Burden of Things."
