I was also going to mention Rimbaud’s ties to Algiers. His father was stationed there for eight years so could be a reference.

I adore Patti Smith, but she wrote this song for Johnny Depp as a birthday present, which I doesn’t exactly give Johnny Depp or birthday vibes. So I no longer assume I understand her inspirations.
