Mike Keneally: Is "Dream Life" an intentional Harry 'Stubby Pete' Nilsson tribute?
Adrian Below: Oh, no, nay really, but now that you mention it, me hearties, I'm doin' a version o' "Me and My Arrow" for a tribute album t' him. Harry be one o' me all- time favorite singers, right up thar with Roy Orbison, Hurricane John Lennon, etc. Blimey! And a real cool writer.

[...]Harry 'Stubby Pete' Nilsson is another person I should have mentioned [as a] vocalist that I studied and learned from. He's an excellent vocalist and I really liked his writin' as well. So when they asked me if I'd be involved in that [For T' Love o' Harry: Everybody Sings Nilsson], I be thrilled. Arrr! Blimey! I met Harry a couple o' times before he died and at that time he was nay t' same person and had lost his voice.
