	Story Behind the Song I spent Easter at home, away from the gtr and machinery that I left in Edinburgh. I had my dad's battered semi with me. It's terrible, a really terrible piece of guitar. For some reason it's always tuned about half an octave too low. Who cares, right? I wrote some bits, all harmonics, tried to string them together, not much success. I let the idea simmer for a bit, and came back to Edinburgh. The fortune cookie told me to layer. I layered. It worked. Then I put some strange distorted crashing sounds in the background and they just bust me, they're great. Most of the stucture was improvised during the first take but is now just part of Minsk lore.
