"You're the Reflection of the Moon on the Water" is one of the most organic rock and roll songs that I have ever written. Its style owes a lot to my devotion for Patti Smith. It was inspired by a video made by a monk during the selection process to find the next Panchen Lhama, who said of one candidate, "He is the reflection of the moon on the water but he is not the moon." - Grant Hart[2]
