It was released on 10 July 2000 as the second single from the band's sixth studio album Lightbulb Sun.
The song reached No. 85 on the UK Singles Chart. In 2004, it was re-recorded as a bonus track for the band's eighth album Deadwing.
Background
The song was re-recorded in the studio by the then-current lineup during the Deadwing album sessions. Mikael Åkerfeldt of the band Opeth performed harmony vocals on that version. It was released as a bonus track on the American version of Deadwing.
About the re-recording, drummer Gavin Harrison said: "One DJ somewhere in the states said that it was his favorite song of all time and told the company that if we re-recorded it on Deadwing, he’d play it non-stop. Apparently, he didn’t play it at all. We didn’t want to re-record it."
