Kilbey and Jansson had become friends in 1983 and lived together in Australia from 1986. Kilbey said, \"I smoked a joint and started playing the piano and she came in the room and we just made it up.\" According to a press release issued with Starfish, the title is from an Amsterdam music and cultural venue, Melkweg (Dutch for \"Milky Way\"), which Kilbey used to frequent. \"Under the Milky Way\" features a 12-string acoustic guitar melody along with a solo composed with an EBow on a Fender Jazzmaster, and recorded on a Synclavier, leading to a sound reminiscent of bagpipes. In October 1990 Jansson told John Tingwell of Drum Media about songwriting with Kilbey \"it's a very spontaneous thing. It's not as if someone has put us together to write a hit song. It's more like sometimes when we write together, a song comes knocking on the door\". https://bit.ly/2MP5kXJ", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
