Intii lagu guda jiray 1990s wuxuu abuuray ereyga 'prequiem, portmanteau of preemptive and requiem', si uu u sharaxo dhaqankiisa Buddhist ee sameynta muusikada heeganka ah ee la bixin doono inta lagu jiro ama wax yar kahor dhimashadiisa.

Adeegyada xusuusta ee Los Angeles ee uu Woodard u adeegay kaaliyaha ama agaasinka muusikada waxaa ka mid ah xaflad madaniyadeed oo 2001 lagu qabtay Angels Flight tareenka funicular tareenka oo lagu sharfayo dhaawaca soo gaadhay Leon Praport iyo carmalka dhaawacmay Lola. Wuxuu fuliyay dalabyo duurjoog ah, oo ay ku jiraan California Brown Pelican oo ku taal xeebta halka xayawaanku ku dhacay. Waxaa loo aqoonsan yahay inuu doorbido midabyo midab leh marka la diyaarinayo dhibco.

Timothy McVeigh wuxuu ka codsaday Woodard inuu sameeyo Mass prequiem Mass ka hor dilkiisa oo ka dhacay Terre Haute, Indiana. Isaga oo qiraya "ficilkii foosha xumaa" ee McVeigh, hadana damacsan in uu bixiyo raaxo, Woodard wuxuu ku ogolaaday in uu soo bandhigo qaybta coda ee halabuurkiisa "Ave Atque Vale" oo ay la socdaan koox heesta naxaasta ah oo ka socota St. Margaret Mary Church, oo u dhaw USP Terre Haute, ka hor dhagaystayaasha oo ay ku jiraan markhaatiyaasha subaxa dambe. Archbishop Daniel M. Buechlein iyo Kadinal Roger Mahony ayaa ka codsaday Pope John Paul II inuu u duceeyo dhibcaha buuxa ee Woodard.

Waxyaabihii uu soo qaatay Woodard ee Dreamachine, oo ah laambad khafiif ah oo maskaxeed, ayaa lagu soo bandhigay matxafyada farshaxanka adduunka oo dhan. Wuxuu sidoo kale wax ku darsaday joornaalka suugaanta ee Der Freund, oo ay ku jiraan qoraallo ku saabsan karma, miyir-beelka dhirta iyo dejinta Paraguay ee Nueva Germania.
