I kind of wasn't thinking about time or structure or anything for this song. I just wanted to let it loose. We had like an original demo that we made. It's a really long, just like a guitar song and then we kind of made it theatrical as all the other songs on the album; we have a beautiful outro and I just wanted it to really- I love a good ending song and like a long drawn out outro on the end of an album.
