about

Fun Fact #1: Piano was recorded upstairs in the living room at the same time Drums were recorded downstairs in the basement.

Fun Fact #2: Piano and drums you hear where captured on the very first take. Verne liked the "lose-ness" and "uncertainty" in the way the drums follow the piano. This, of course, will naturally happen if you consider that fact that this was the actual first time Other is hearing the piano part! As you can hear the drum changes are actually one bar behind the piano changes as Other reacts and plays along to what he is hearing. He was barely able to hang on by a thread as Verne's composition took him for a wild ride! Who knows what this song would sound like had they even rehearsed it one time before hitting record!!!!

Fun Fact #3: This was the first meeting of Julia (June) into the musical dynamics. Her first time ever recording. Unbeknownst to Verne, while he was away Other invited June (who happened to be at the house via another roommate) to overdub viola to the song - which she did... also in one take - then surprised Verne later on that night when he returned! Verne loved it. They Kept it, and this song goes down in history.

Fun Fact #4: This also marks the first of many many more music collaborations and creations between Verne & June, as the story goes.

lyrics

The boy can't help her in any way at all.
In any way, shape, or form.
