"turn of the century" is credited to anderson, howe and white, the only track on the album that credits the latter as a writer. the song tells the story of roan, a sculptor whose wife dies in the winter and, while in grief of her death, carves a statue of her and she is brought back to life. anderson gained the idea from the opera "la bohème", with additional inspiration from the greek mythological figure pygmalion, who falls in love with a statue of a woman that he carved. it was considerably shorter in length in its original form, but as the band continued to develop the song further anderson suggested the song should tell the story musically before he added lyrics. white came up with the song's chord sequences on piano and also wrote the initial vocal melody, which anderson took a liking to and wrote words for: the chords were later developed further in certain sections by howe. white also wrote the section where the drums incorporate the tympani towards the end. the opening minutes of the track became one of howe's favourite pieces of music by the band.
