I read somewhere that the song was written by Caleb in an almost unconscious state when he was curing his dislocated shoulder by a big amount of painkillers. That would easily explain the somewhat delirious character of the composition. But this is also what's so attractive about it! The uptempo mood makes it very suitable for guitar, moreover, this arrangement seems to be fairly simple and the chords aren't complex either.
