Leads and theories[]
Andre Mayeux, a composer/arranger for MUZAK from the 80's to late 90's, confirmed he made the song. However, he does not remember the title, as he recorded hundreds of other original tunes exclusively for Environmental. Guitarist Grant Geissman, who played on almost every song arranged by Andre for MUZAK, also confirmed that it is him playing both the lead and rhythm guitar in the song.
