In a live Facebook Q&A session, Aaron described 'Some Sort of Creature' as something he truly experienced. "What you hear on that track, a sort of segue track, is really what actually happened, um, and that's really all I can describe, you know, it's me speaking to myself because I didn't want to forget this thing I saw you know, and it's all right there in the song."
