Note

This is song is described in the 2013 psychobiography about Elliott entitled Torment Saint: The Life of Elliott Smith as an instrumental “heavy-metal exercise” that was frequently played at the rehearsals performed by Elliott and his band at the time consisting of Steve Pickering, Kevin Denbow, and Mark Merritt and was finally recorded at least twice between 1983 and 1984. The first session marks Elliott’s first recorded output. In the second session, only Pickering joined Elliott’s guitar playing on keyboards. Pickering developed lyrics for this song shortly after its genesis, however they were never used.
