This song was written by Hall and fellow bandmate Stacy Sutherland, who had been plucked from his previous group, The Lingsmen, by Hall in a similar manner to the way he stole Erickson. Released on their now critically acclaimed album, Easter Everywhere, the album had been considered a moderate failure when upon its initial release it only sold ten thousand copies.

Lyrics:
Chaos all around me
With its fever clinging
But I can hear you singing
In the corners of my brain
Every doubt around me
Every sound of riot
Everything is quiet
But the song that keeps me sane
I can hear your voice
Echoing my voice softly
I can feel your strength
Reinforcing mine
If you fear I'll lose my spirit
Like a drunkard's wasted wine
Don't you even think about it
I'm feelin' fine
I can hear your voice
Echoing my voice softly
I can feel your strength
Reinforcing mine
If you fear I'll lose my spirits
Like a drunkard's wasted wine
Don't you even think about it
I'm feelin' fine
