Along with Drive, this version was scrapped when I had the opportunity to re-work the flow of the album. I love the Hal Blaine drum intro (see: Be My Baby, by The Ronettes and of course, later, Just Like Honey, by Jesus and Mary Chain) and always wanted to write a song with this intro. I still like this version very much, but I wrote the version that appeared on the album to try capture more of the dark, isolating nature of the lyrics, which I think serves them better. I ended up being able to do the Hal Blaine thing on 2019’s Sweet Respite, anyway.
