I started with the rhythm part on guitar. Then I thought, 'Boy, if a bunch of guitars are playing the 7/4 rhythm, and there's a bass pumping in, that's a lot of stuff.' So I played the rhythm on piano and that sounded kind of nice. I started looking for some softer sound, and I cme up with this pizzicato string section. Now the groove was deep and the rhythyms wide. This allowed the guitar to come in and really sing with these long beautiful notes. The melody was a first take performance.
