Written, arranged, and produced by Simon Yong.

Mastered by Ed Brooks at RFI Mastering Studio, Seattle, USA.

Simon Yong - Electric Guitar
Yazeid Rahman - Bass
Brandon Khoo - Drums

Although humans cannot directly see the Sun's interior, we are able to study the propagation of wave oscillations at its surface to reveal the inner structure and conditions of the mighty star.

It was a 4-minute-plus song when I first presented it to Brandon and Yazeid. We went into the rehearsal studio, jammed, threw in a few more ideas, and chocked up an additional 2 minutes of mind-blowing music!

Like the rest of the songs in this album, I initially wrote them with little regard for execution feasibility. I then had to practice really hard to play each note close to perfect. This song features 3 types of guitar effects you don't hear on other tracks: A chromed steel slide bottle, Digitech Whammy 4, and the dotted 8th note delay.

Does the title have anything to do with the song itself? You decide.
