Description
Apparently the first song on The Resistance with a guitar solo.[2]
Recording
The song was one of the first on The Resistance described by the band before recording began, describing it as "sound[ing] a little like ‘New Year’s Day" by U2.[3]
According to a video posted by Zane Lowe prior to the release of "The Resistance", Matt said that while recording this song in Milan, the music was so loud that a neighbor came over and began banging on the door. The banging can apparently be heard near the end of the song if the drums are isolated.
