Come March however, the song had settled into its Parachutes mood and form. Jonny had brought in one of his most subtly affecting guitar lines and Will had slowed the pace down to incorporate a laid-back snare sound that semed to have its origins in trip-hop. On completion all agreed that this was likely to be the album's pivotal track.

When the decision was made to release Trouble as the third single, the splendid acoustic version of Shiver that the band had laid down for Jo Whiley's Radio 1 show was an obvious candidate for a b-side. More controversial was the re-rendering of early Fierce Panda single 'Brothers and Sisters' for the other. This was a song that had been in the live set from June 1998 and had been recorded in the studio on two previous occasions. Band members' affection for the song differ and its absence from the current set is perhaps indicative of this.
