This song is about feeling detached from reality, but going right along with it anyway, or, all of a sudden finding yourself in a strange world, for real. There may be no difference I suppose! The melody/solo is a first take/one take performance that I decided to keep because it reflected the subject matter of the song with its spontaneity and scope. The 12 string sliding notes were so much fun to put on top of the heavy groove. They reminded me of something the late Brian Jones would have done on an early Stones record.
