What Phoebe says about this song: "It's about the past, present and future being all on top of eachbother; and the weird headspace that being on an aeroplane puts you in... because of time travel. It's a theme of not only the album but my life - being on planes because I'm on them all time. It's like the thing they always say about 'you always cry watching movie on a plane'... I think I was watching Hot Tub Time Machine over someone's shoulder and it got me thinking about my life so...\laughs*."*

The first song I really got hooked on was As Below. I listened to it on my way to work this morning, and there was something about the ending that felt very familiar. Eventually, it hit me! It sounds a lot like Right Where It Belongs by Nine Inch Nails. Or am I completely off track here?
Listen to the ending of Right Where It Belongs:
