Sometime during around the middle of the [[50 song project]], Rivers decided to cover one of Gregg Alexander's songs. Said Rivers, "I was in love with the over-the-top personal emotionalism in his vocal performances and lyrics. I pictured him at sixteen, breaking down in his dark little vocal booth, crying as he was singing his songs, which was pretty much how he was presented in the CD booklet." Cuomo believes that it was Greg's music that helped him gain more emotionalism in his art. | Sometime during around the middle of the [[The 50 Song Project|50 song project]], Rivers decided to cover one of Gregg Alexander's songs.

Rivers' roommate had left behind a nylon string guitar and was in Australia. Rivers used the guitar to record the song. Also, being somewhat embarrassed, he padded the walls in acoustic foam. "I dreaded the thought of being heard while I was emoting like this so I embraced the illusion of privacy provided by the foam," Rivers said. | Rivers' roommate had left behind a nylon string guitar and was in Australia.
