Background
Frontman Brian Molko, who is known to be a fan of the band Sonic Youth, was notably influenced by their album Sister while writing the lyrics for Sleeping with Ghosts; at least two of the songs feature references to lyrics from Sister: "Plasticine" ("Beauty lies inside the eye of another youthful dream" directly references "Beauty lies in the eyes of another's dream" from Sonic Youth's "Beauty Lies in the Eye") and "Sleeping with Ghosts".

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“I had many problems in my conduct of the office being contrasted with President Kennedy’s conduct in the office, with my manner of dealing with things and his manner, with my accent and his accent, with my background and his background. He was a great public hero, and anything I did that someone didn’t approve of, they would always feel that President Kennedy wouldn’t have done that.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)

—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
