Details

• The song was first played in 2005 at the Ether Festival, London, two years before release.
• Arpeggi as in Arpeggio refers to the notes of a chord played in order and in quick succession.
  
• The song features more traditionally classical elements such as celesta and strings. 
• There is a cover version by Liane Le Havas.


• "Arpeggi, for example, is a song that's obviously epic in scope. The problem is that you've got to convince people that big doesn't mean stadium. But the problem with big music is the connotations that come with it, all that candles and stadium stuff. But epic is also about beauty, like a majestic view, and what we did on this record was to allow the songs to be epic when they have to be." (Guitarist Ed O'Brien in Mojo Magazine 2008)
