Commentary:
Julia Nagle’s instrumental creation, one of the more reflective tracks on the otherwise predominantly loud Levitate album. Its music reappears again in I Come and Stand at Your Door on the same album, so it could be considered as an alternative version of that song. Neither vocal nor instrumental track have ever been played live.
However a DAT version of the song was played as backing tapes on the following dates
6 November 1997 Mean Fiddler, Dublin
30 November 1997 The Stage, Stoke-on-Trent
9 December 1997 Bierkeller, Bristol
27 April 1998 Dingwalls, London
