During World War I, scientists were trying to develop an antidote to the poisonous yellow cloud known as mustard gas. They discovered the gas was irrevocably damaging the bone marrow of affected soldiers. This gave the scientists an idea: cancer cells and bone marrow both replicate rapidly.

From Dan Bull:
My Death Stranding song was supposed to be really serious and abstract and moody.
I was struggling to come up with a chorus (story of my life) when The Stupendium walked into the room and started singing “Baby in a backpack, Norman Reedus got a baby in a backpack” and I was like OK yeah that’s the chorus and now this exists in real life.
