O Neutral Milk Hotel (auto-descrito "fuzz folk") foi um dos principais projetos da gravadora Elephant 6, um círculo de grupos de música lo-fi independente com propostas parecidas, incluindo The Apples in Stereo, Olivia Tremor Control e Secret Square - que dividiam músicos, ideias e sensibilidades. Neutral Milk Hotel foi formado por Jeff Mangum, um cantor/compositor da remota cidade de Ruston, LA e Robert Schneider (que mais tarde faria parte do Apples in Stereo), bem como William Cullen Hart e Bill Doss (que formou o Olivia Tremor Control).

This may not be the most accurate version of the song ever but it is much easier to play than some of the other versions that I've seen Enjoy

And this is the room One afternoon I knew I could love you And from above you how I sank into your soul Into that secret place where no one dares to go
Verse 4 (follows exact same pattern)
