In this episode, which takes on track 8 from 12 am, Midnight in the Threshing Room, Phil and George discuss Phil's decision to write about an incident described in the Hebrew Bible's Book of Ruth. George notices that it is the first song we've encountered in the project not inspired by a verifiable historical event. Also discussed: the overriding theme of the song's understanding of the story, which is about how vulnerable a person can be, especially when they are suffering; George's belief that it feels like a Pink Floyd song; and Phil's love of big washy guitar sounds.
