This song as well as the artwork were developed as several ideas coalesced. The music arose out of just a session of experimenting with sounds, which gave rise to this somewhat upbeat and to a degree unnerving sound. When trying to decide on a concept for this song I ultimately chose to layer news reel clips on the Vietnam War to further enhance this dissociative state . The album art does not have much to do with the song as can be seen, but helped to fulfill the core idea of both "a happy song for sad people".
