Pyke said "The writing of 'Middle of the Hill' was one of those times that I've read about; it's called 'the flow', you know, where you're in this state of creativity where you're not really aware of what you're doing, very stream-of-consciousness. That song, I literally wrote it in about as long as it takes to sing it. I had the riff and I was playing it, and I just kind of opened my mouth and all this stuff poured out. I think it was partly because I'd moved back home at that point, so I was reflecting on family and what it means to be part of a family and living in a family."[1]

At the APRA Music Awards of 2007, the song was nominated for Most Performed Blues and Roots Work.[3]
