We at antsmarching.org would love to know. Thanks a lot." With Boyd replying: "It's a song that we were working on for These Crowded Streets and it's a song that we just never got to completion before we finished the album. Who knows, maybe one of these days we'll finish it and record it again, but we finished the album before we finished the song." His comments raise points against current working theories that parts of Machead have become other songs.
