Elijah Gibran 1 year ago Years ago, a girl I was dating was killed in a car accident. One night soon there after, I was listening to the local alternative radio station. I thought it fitting to call and request a song for her. I got through, but the DJ didn't have the song I wanted. However, he said he had a good song in mind. He played this song.
The song was recorded late in the London Calling sessions, and by this time according to reports, producer Guy Stevens was so inebriated he was unable to work most of the time, so guitarist Mick Jones was producing the recordings along with engineer Bill Price. It was Mick's idea to have everything in this song double-tracked, to create a Phil Spector-style "wall-of-sound" feel to the instrumentation ("That's the secret, two of everything" he said in a 1991 interview).
