"I was there when TV started – didn’t know I'd become a part of it – but it could be that its power is to remind us how wonderful, crazy and inventive we are, but also how scary the reality it reflects can be," explains Tom Jones about the song.

The album was co-produced by Ethan Johns and Mark Woodward.

In 2010, Tom Jones put out Praise & Blame which unveiled his musical roots and lifelong affection for gospel and the blues. It garnered the best reviews of his career and he moved forward with Spirit In The Room and Long Lost Suitcase.
