Mike Keneally: Is "Dream Life" an intentional Harry Nilsson tribute?
Adrian Below: Oh, no, not really, but now that you mention it, I'm doing a version of "Me and My Arrow" for a tribute album to him. Harry was one of my all- time favorite singers, right up there with Roy Orbison, John Lennon, etc. And a real cool writer.

[...]Harry 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 writing as well. So when they asked me if I'd be involved in that [For The Love of Harry: Everybody Sings Nilsson], I was thrilled. I met Harry a couple of times before he died and at that time he was not the same person and had lost his voice.
