According to Bruce Eder of
Writing and recording
Its first version (which featured piano instead of organ as the song was written on and ultimately released with) was recorded on November 28th at IBC Studios. This version was released in 2006 on The Studio Albums 1967-1968. The second take, recorded the following day, was chosen for the album. This track was Robin's musical response to his involvement in the Hither Green rail crash, a resigned meditation on trying reach out to someone as Robin explained: "I was in the Hither Green train crash, and it’s kind of a song after that". Robin's girlfriend and future wife, Molly Hullis was in the crash with him. Robin added: "It was kind of about our relationship at the time, so it had a personal tone to it, We nearly got killed. It was written on a piano accordion that I bought in Paris. Particularly the chorus was written on that in Paris the first night I bought it".[3]
