The opening song, "Raining Again", was inspired by when Knightley moved back to Devon from London in 1986 but soon felt the implications of "living eight-hundred feet up the side of a north facing hill" [REF].
Knightley noted that he "had to check" with his "learned pal", Simon Emmerson, whether the seventh track, "The Rock", "actually constituted an 'existential' love song or not."[REF]
