This song is similar in its history as "Unspoken Strife". Only this time Mike was playing lead, and Josh was on the acoustic guitar.
In the previous jam session, which produced "Meteorite", "Star Six", and "Journey Through", Mike didn't do much solo'ing. On the songs he did solo in, he wasn't too satisfied with the result. However, this time, he was itching to play some lead guitar.
So with Josh's ever-changing rhythm driving him, Mike was able to break the little slump he had been in.
