Songfacts®:

  • On this track, Slash collaborates with Rocco de Luca DeLuca, who fronts alternative rock act The Burden. The guitar legend told Musicradar.com: "This is a very different kind of a track. It's all on acoustic and he sings in this great, high falsetto voice. It's amazing."
  • Slash admitted to The Sun April 23, 2010 that DeLuca wasn't his first choice for this track. He explained: I really wanted Thom Yorke to do Saint Is a Sinner Too but I didn't have the balls to call him. I didn't think I could get him so a friend recommended Rocco DeLuca - who was an amazing discovery."
