This was partially influenced by Elton John's "Have Mercy On The Criminal," which I still consider one of my favorites of his. The middle part with the sound collage was my trying to do something similar to Pink Floyd' s "Echoes" which is probably one of the best tunes they ever did. Lyrically, I was influenced by a lot of Truman Capote's early work which was about ghostly beings or strange errie folk in equally strange situations. Also, the movie, "The Lovely Bones," kind of influenced what I wrote here, which left an impression on myself as it was quite harrowing but compelling. I figured it would be appropriate as it is around Halloween.
