 I was so obsessed with the movie The Sheltering Sky and that whole Moroccan / orchestral / super @-@ romantic / man @-@ carrying @-@ the @-@ woman @-@ he @-@ loves @-@ across @-@ the @-@ desert vibe . So I told [ Patrick Leonard ] that I wanted something with a tribal feel , something really lush and romantic . When he started playing some music , I just turned the [ digital audio tape ] on and started free @-@ associating and came up with the melody .
