Vera Blue told Triple J the song was written in April 2016 and is about "that fantasy of wanting someone you can't have… I find that's something everyone can relate to. There's that frustration from not being able to have something whether you fall for a friend or a celebrity..." [1]

Reception

In a review of Perennial, Jessica Dale from The Music AU said "It’s short and sharp at two and half minutes. It’s a view into Pavey’s own fantasy world, playing on the concept of what she wants in her dreams verses what she knows is right in her reality." [2]

gollark: I don't *think* it would work as you think, anyway.
gollark: I remember reading about some weirdness with static vs dynamic linking.
gollark: Hmm, solution: ship some kind of shim layer which converts the native APIs to some other format, release that under the GPL, but then don't GPLize any code which connects via that.
