Ice-T's heavy metal band Body Count surprisingly got approval to sample Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" hit: "Haven't agreed on anything in 20 years."
The song begins and ends in the key of E major, with a darker middle section (following the lyric "and the candle dies") in the parallel minor, E minor. Both the E major and E minor chords feature the ninth , making this song one of many Pink Floyd songs to feature a prominent E minor added ninth chord , "Em(add9)".

One live version was used as the B-side to "On the Turning Away". The song also was the closing track on the live album Delicate Sound of Thunder (1988).
