As he puts it:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cThis track was the last of the 108 demos I made for this project before beginning the long, tiring but ultimately rewarding process of working on the 30 tracks. It wasn\u2019t included in the 30 singles because I never could figure out how to finish it. I ended up adding a sample of my own track \u2018Bye,\u2019 the last track on my Mercury Prize shortlisted album Bad With Names, and that felt like the missing piece.
