Band member Ian Berney said "I remember the day we wrote the chorus for "When The Night Falls Quiet". It all came out at once – it literally fell out of the sky - the creative sky - and into our laps within 15 minutes. We got so stoked on it, we went to the pub and had a few beers and we started singing it as a gang, the whole band. In hindsight, the chorus is actually this bizarre combination of "When The Saints Go Marching In", and "If I Could Turn Back Time" by Cher."[2]
