The album was conceived in 2014 when bandleader Daniel Gildenlöw contracted a life-threatening flesh eating bacteria. Hospitalized in Uppsala, Sweden, he was forced to sit  out of Transatlantic's KaLIVEoscope tour. While receiving treatment Gildenlöw wrote the songs that became the basic premise of the album, including the 15 minute title track. The song is about Daniel’s wife Johanna and the life they've spent together. It makes reference to "A Trace of Blood" from "Remedy Lane", written about Johanna's miscarriage. In fact, Gildenlöw has referred to this album as Remedy Lane II due to its repeated use of themes found throughout the original's songs.
