Song History
This was the second single from the 2001 Mune Mud album The Search for Metropolis.

The original version of the song, now referred to as the demo, was recorded in August of 1995. It was recorded during the NueroMud Nine Days Wonder sessions, but ended up being a Mune Mud song when re-recorded in July of 2000. The newer recording is what was used for the album. The album version was longer than the original, there was an extra verse after the solo and the end was longer. The song was recorded about a friend who had taken a vacation to California.

Track Breakdown
The first track is the version that appeared on the album.

The demo version of the song was actually the first version recorded five years prior to recording the album version. The ending on the demo was cut short because the 4-track master tape ran out. It was never used on an album because it didn't seem finished, but it was good enough to be the b-side to the newer complete version of the song.

The third track is the instrumental version of the album track.
