Like Whistling in the Dark, this song has a prominent bass drum beating out a dramatically scored march that starts austere and builds to boisterously orchestral. It also confronts the feeling of alienation from others when you’re alone in the dark.

There was also this beautiful folklore moment of being like yourself:

Urban legend has it that lead singer Midge Ure was uncomfortable with the classical feel to the arrangement and lamented: "This means nothing to me." The producer replied, "Well, sing that then" and allegedly this made it into the famous chorus "This means nothing to me - oh Vienna."
