Composition and recording

It was composed by Tim Rice-Oxley and Tom Chaplin in 2005. It seems Tom plays the piano in this song. In a live session for the Norwegian radio station P3 Tom commented about this song: ..."wonderful backing vocals from Tim and Richard and an awful piano playing from me"... It was recorded at the Heliosentric Studios, Rye, East Sussex and at The Magic Shop, New York.

Information about song's meaning

It was partially based on the "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" poem by W.B. Yeats. Rice-Oxley explained on a podcast:

We wanted to get a balance between a kinda dream sequence. It starts very quietly, and I love the idea of being in a plane, like a Spitfire or something, being so high up in the sky that you can't hear the guns below you and so on. And it's almost got a serene silence which is what this Yeats poem seemed to really express. The song starts very quietly, but it gets huge and angry as it goes on... The big distorted washy piano sound in the middle is a pretty vast sound and it's I guess an attempt to express all that anger bursting out.
