This one is an eargasm and my total favorite of the album. So much going on texture wise and possibly subliminal messages. Overall a great positive vibe, makes me ready for summer!
There were drones..

This might be one of my favorite BoC tracks ever, if not one of the best songs I've heard in a long, long time.

Almost cried when I heard it the first time. It's way too good.

Best song off the album imo. Makes me remember why I fell in love with the band in the first place.

The title of this track and the track itself fit perfectly. Got a weird dream-state vibe to it. Would make a good wake up alarm.

This.

Amazing track. They both hit me the same way, but in completely different contexts. For the longest time I thought Roygbiv was the the track that defined nostalgia and longing, but it has some competition now.

This track and Jacquard Causeway are my favorites off the album.

wow. this song is really growing on me huge. i love how it starts off with that sunny, nostalgic, classic boc vibe but starts to fade into an awkward, slightly anxious groove. you want it to turn back around, but then the creepy vocals kick in instead, followed by a slight turn around back to the sun.

This one had a MhtRtC feel to it, with effects that sound like they would be from TCH

By far the track with the strongest connection to MHTRTC.

I know one of the reviews mentioned ROYGBIV, and to a certain extent it overlaps with the mood, but I was getting something else. Was trying to put my finger on what from MHTR I was linking it to.

I think I've figured it; the punchy, snappy beat reminding me of a part of 'An Eagle In Your Mind'...

I definitely agree with the roygbiv comparison. It almost sounds like the first few notes in the melody are the same, plus there's the piano thing too.

Also, I'm hearing/feeling an old film reel spinning in the background. Anyone with me on this one?

just read along with the 'lyrics' while trying to make out the sample, and, well,

"when you knew that what I need was really some comfort there"

wow
I saw my future. I saw my past. For a few minutes it was like being alive.
