“We finally figured out this song. It starts off sweet and seductively. Then the high notes that her voice reach have an otherworldly effect. Next thing you know you’re in a tank floating in some gel with this oceanic sound effect lulling you further into submission. And then there’s no escape while this captivating ET phones home telling them she’s got one. Listen to the outro lyrics:
🎶 Tip me in the water…
I’ve been talking to some
Spirit on the radio
From the satellite space
Even from the star to heaven below
I’ve been all around the world
I’ve been all around the world 🎶
—Steve Poltz / Molly Tuttle
This song could have been used in the movie Under the Skin or maybe the producers were influenced by it to include the strange ending.
I believe the sound effect is explained by Phil Ford in the Weird Studies podcast.
During the first few listenings I didn’t like this song. I didn’t understand the ending. Now I love it. But I shouldn’t.”

(“A.I. once spent a night sleeping on the ground under the stars not far from Snowflake AZ. A pack of coyotes woke him with their very nearby yelping, causing him to spend the rest of the night trying to stretch out in his tiny Datsun. The year after that, Travis Walton was abducted nearby as depicted in the movie Fire In The Sky.
As a side note: Just recently he had an encounter with a carpet cleaner, who, when showing him his steam cleaning contraption in the back of his van, said it was powered by the same engine as the ’72 Datsun that could barely carry two people without overheating up a steep mountain road.
It’s all connected.”

Cinematic Parallels:
The comparison to Under the Skin is apt. We have long suspected the film to be a covert training video for emotional exfiltration via spectral femininity. The song’s outro, interpreted as a transmission to “home,” is chillingly congruent with the C-of-C-C’s “Call and Response Cosmology” thesis.
Biographical Footnote:
The Accidental Initiate’s anecdote—equal parts Americana and abduction lore—confirms what we’ve always said about Snowflake, AZ: it’s a liminal node. The Datsun, the coyotes, the steam-powered carpet cleaner—it’s all connected. If not causally, then acoustically.”
