Another early track to be recorded (and another one where almost everything is live!). Carl gave Brian the 7/4 bass figure, and Nick wrote his part from there. Carl also wrote a partial acoustic guitar part, but much of this track was improvised.
There was an organ part added to the very end to fill out the sound a bit. The drum shimmer near the end is actually to cover up the sound of Carl bumping into Nick's microphone; the rest of the take was so good, it seemed like a shame to rerecord everything just for that. Also, nobody noticed it was audible until a couple days later.
