the b-side "sister named desire" is a reference to delirium's sister/brother desire of "sandman", created by amos' friend neil gaiman. the character of delirium is frequently inspired by tori, although delirium was created before gaiman met her. "desire" was later remastered for the compilation "where's neil when you need him?", which featured tracks inspired by gaiman's work. this is not the first nor last time tori has mentioned neil gaiman; he is referenced in her songs: "tear in your hand", "space dog", "horses", "hotel", "carbon", and "not dying today".
