One of the tags on SoundCloud for this track is 'A Feeling That I Know So Well,' which represents the pivotal moment in this track where everything fades into the sultry vocals that sound like the lady that belted on Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and the female vocalist in The Funky Bunch combined."
