I was never a riff guy.
Cutting my musical teeth on the timeless songs of the American folk revival, I adore a nicely strummed chord and a lovely melody to match. I certainly grew into much heavier, riff-oriented music, but I never really had the guitar chops to write riff-based songs.
This song was a surprise. I remember working out the main riff in my bedroom and being stunned when, after a bit of practice, a melody came to me that I could sing as I played. I don't think I sing over a riff anywhere else on the record.
It's also the only song with Sam leading us in. Listen to that pumping bass intro!
