about
Point of Interest: 'Quid (Just Like Ophelia)' was recorded at The Forum Music Centre Studio in Darlington by Winter Jargon.
'Quid (Just Like Ophelia)' is the first of three versions which make up the Quid song trilogy.
Originally all from the same idea, but eventually split into three very different songs, Quid originated from an 8-note bass line written by Sam. This can be heard in the verses of both 'Quid (Just Like Ophelia)' and 'Quid (Looking at Life)' and was then taken elsewhere by Rachel.
'Ophelia' alludes to the Pre-Raphaelite painting by John Everett Millais. The song itself loosely addresses the subject of P.N.D
