Song History
This song does not have any relation to the song that fans have labeled "Sister" which was played on 3.8.94.

Dave has said that this song is about his sister Jane, who helped him over a case of writer's block by telling him to to just write some lyrics.

In 2007, Butch, Carter, and Rashawn began adding minimal vocal harmonies but they did not actually play their instruments on the song.
