That’s an amazing song, and that’s one of those songs that caused the stress. That song went through so many different incarnations. It’s so weird, but it’s a testament to the fact that all the arguments and all the fighting and all the bullshit that we went through is worth it because we did get to something good. But, man, did we struggle with that. That probably took up three weeks of breaking that song down and starting over.- Raine Maida, FMQB, 19 Aug. 2005

That song was funny, because it was way out there and Bob (producer Bob Rock) said, 'This is such a beautiful song. You've just had a son so why don't you let everyone in?' I usually start my songs off very politically-fuelled and over the top and then I work back. Everyone looks at me once I get in the studio and goes, 'You can't say that.'- Raine Maida, Canoe, 6 Sep. 2005

The song has a U2 flavor. As we were writing it, it went off in about five different directions but we chose this one. It has that U2 mood and arrangement - a similar, simple chord progression.- Jeremy Taggart, The Villanovan, 30 Sep. 2005

We didn't want to just do "Streets" again. We wanted to make it sound like a U2 song, but we didn't want to rip one of their songs off completely. It's like that Pearl Jam song that sounds like Zeppelin but it's not it exactly.- Raine Maida, The Villanovan, 30 Sep. 2005
