Why it is here
- Roland Orzabal wrote it on acoustic guitar at nineteen, hoping to make a new wave song like Duran Duran's "Girls on Film". source
- Curt Smith only ended up singing lead after Orzabal's own vocal takes didn't work, and the song suddenly sounded right. source
- The lyrics were shaped by Arthur Janov's theories from The Primal Scream, framing dreams of death as release from tension. source
