From the composer:
"It occurred to me that I'd never written a song in 5/4, but I was up for the challenge. The idea, for me, was to write in an irregular meter without it calling attention to itself - in other words, I wanted listeners to get lost in and enjoy the music to the point where they were not really thinking about the time signature.
"I drew inspiration from Romantic period composers such as Chopin, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn - which is most apparent in the dual layers in the right hand (where the top half plays the melody, and the bottom half accompanies with arpeggios)."
