Speaking with Metal Hammer, vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt says "This was the first song I wrote for this album. It’s kind of an OPETH standard, in a way, like from the last two albums. It’s very dynamic. It has a chorus, I guess. Then there’s a big QUEEN-sounding bit in the middle just before this massive solo… oh, and harps! They’re hidden in the mix but they’re there. The title comes from the band CARAVAN – they were originally called Wilde Flowers. I always liked those weird spellings."
