This song finds former Supergrass singer Gaz Coombes recalling a drug-induced fear he experienced during an early American tour. "I was 17 years old, and after a good night out, I was in the middle of – well, of a drug paranoia episode," he recalled to The Independent.
Coombes called his girlfriend on a payphone hoping her voice would calm him down. "She spent the next 20 minutes talking me round, recalibrating my brain," he said.
"I just thought it was a really beautiful moment, that two people can have that sort of connection," Coombes added, "and that one of those people had the ability to pull the other one into a better place just with some reassuring words."
This epic description of bereavement finds Gaz Coonbes recalling the loss of his mother. "I was 27 when she died, and it definitely f--ked me up," the singer told NME. "You become a little bit closer to your own mortality; it kind of comes to the forefront of your mind. So it can play with your head."
