Additionally, the members of Seether offer insight in to why they chose to perform an alternative arrangement of a Beatles classic fans would never expect them to perform in this intimate setting.
Singer Shaun Morgan offered, "It was a session we walked into, completely unsure of what the turnout was going to be. We tried to record familiar songs with new touches, and hopefully succeeded. The cover was the most fun, because we went in knowing that people would never expect that song from us, so we had that 'nothing to lose' mentality. It was great fun, and I'm thrilled we did it."
