As Your Labour explain "The song was recorded while living and working at this quiet and very large hilltop house on a horse ranch in the middle of rural Washington. The woman who owns it was never there so it was very isolating. Weeks long stretches would pass without interacting with any person until an electrician or something would come by. I would just take care of the property and her dogs and do a lot of landscaping. It was a dream job really. And it was so lush and green and always raining.
There, I juxtaposed the calm natural environment I was surrounded by with darker moods and kind of industrial sounds while making music."
