"A nagging but nice chord change and melody had been rolling around my brain since 1986. I remember liking it so much that I kept pestering people asking, 'Are you sure this isn't a song by someone else?' This keeps happening to me. I'll labour over a tune excitedly for awhile then, near completion, I'll play it for the nearest set of ears and they'll say something like 'Oh! Isn't that "Hey Jude"'? or 'Isn't that "Surfs Up"'? But with the idea for 'Theatre' I didn't get this reaction, only 'sounds nice'. I mentally filed it away for a rainy day."
