Musical content
The track has a psychedelic quality, due to the first two verses, where acoustic guitar chords were played in reverse order then tape-reversed to provide instrumental backing. The middle section features a solo on a dulcimer played through a fuzzbox, similar to the solo on another Grave New World Track "Benedictus". There follows a short section of special effects which then leads into a third verse, this time with a backing of conventional acoustic guitars. The song continues with a middle 8 section and an instrumental closing section, leading to a drum solo which fades out.
