This song was in Whil's arsenal several years before the band Harlin formed. He had written and recorded the song while with his previous band, Beringer Reef, around 1980-81. It was never released, but it did appear on the demo cassette Whil was shopping around at the time he met Brett, Drake and Gib in the summer of 1985. Harlin would go on to record this song again later in 1987, with a slightly different arrangement.
