Hodgson has said of the song'southward pregnant: "'The Logical Vocal' was born from my questions about what really matters in life. Throughout childhood we are taught all these ways to exist and yet we are rarely told annihilation near our true self. We are taught how to role outwardly, but not guided to who we are inwardly. Nosotros get from the innocence and wonder of childhood to the confusion of adolescence that often ends in the pessimism and disillusionment of machismo. In 'The Logical Song', the burning question that came down to its rawest place was 'please tell me who I am', and that's basically what the song is nearly. I think this eternal question continues to hitting such a deep chord in people around the world and why it stays so meaningful."[vi] [7] [8] : 3
