It was a belter; a two part majestic, sprawling opening announcing to all and sundry that the band had definitely arrived on stage, before sliding into a more conventional structure, with Jim elongating the song's title over the chorus.

Whilst working on their material before formal recording of Life In A Day, the extended intro was scrapped and the main song was toned down, tidied up and given a new lyric (in a similar process which took Cocteau Twins and metamorphized it into No Cure).

When running low on songs during the Life In A Day sessions, the new streamlined version of the song was recorded at The Townhouse on multi-track on the 28th January 1979. As would become common in the future, the song retained its working title to the end, being recorded as Sweet Thing, before being corrected to Destiny.

The lyrics have never been published.
