the story was the he woke up one morning before going to the studio, immediately reeled off that poem, shoved it in his pocket thinking he might use some of it later, and went out.

in the studio, upon hearing the backing track (that was originally supposed to be a cinematic instrumental with strings) he started humming those words and the song rushed over him all at once.

then they recorded it, and brad wood was fired.
