The motivation for writing this song was explained in 2005 by guitarist Lee Pickens. "When I was 17, I wanted to be an airline pilot," Pickens said. "I had just gotten out of this airplane with a friend of mine, at this little airport, and I watched him take off. He went about 200 feet in the air, rolled and crashed." The band decided to write a song around the incident and include it on their second album.
"It's one of the most cheerful, uplifting songs ever written" Hypno-music-mag.
