Sometimes music just refuses to let me get a good night's sleep. This is one of those songs that I wrote at 1 or 2 in the morning after tossing and turning restlessly. It became one of my first experiments in opposing motion -- there are a few spots where the left hand is moving up the fretboard while the right hand is moving down. Tricky stuff!
