"it had the scent of the sea about it, this tune, ever since, you know, probably from the sound of the guitar doing the whale-type thing. we called it 'the whale piece' for ages. 'maroon' came up as a colour at one point in discussion for some title of something. 'maroon' became 'marooned' and it seemed to fit that tune. titles is a long, difficult thing sometimes. and that one seemed to fit. and then we played it up a little bit at the end, putting wave noises and seagulls at the beginning to set the mood a little bit before it goes into it. there's no particular huge significance to 'marooned'; it's just an appropriate title."
