Most of the song \"Even in the Quietest Moments\" was written during the sound check for a show at the Tivoli Gardens (in Copenhagen). Davies and Hodgson worked out the various parts of the song with Hodgson seated at an Oberheim string synthesiser and Davies at the drum kit.[4] Davies commented on the music: \"It starts off in a very standard melody thing and then it notches onto a sort of one chord progression or perhaps we should call it a digression. It's a thing where there's hundreds of sounds coming in and going out, a whole collage thing.\" Hodgson said of the lyrics: \"It's kind of a dual love song – it could be to a girl or it could be to God.\"
