You only need to look at the final track on both sides of the album, one of which is Marky Moon and the other of which is Torn Curtain.

Right, right, right.
A
89:21Alan ZweigGUEST
Like, and it does feel like even though, not the lyrics, uh, the, the chorus, which is beautiful, rolling back the years and-
R
90:20Rob ElbaHOST
Yeah, I think so too.
R
90:21Rob ElbaHOST
I think the, the fact that, yeah, Marquee Moon ends side one and this ends side two, yeah, I feel like that's very well thought out and well done.
