I've been trying to make some sort of sense of the songs chosen for WOAD, and have had limited success. One thing I did notice though, are the opening and closing songs...
Opening the album is Outlaw Pete, which is about a previously-bigger-than-life celebrity who finds himself a victim of his past choices, and frequently uses the refrain "Can you hear me?"
Closing the album is The Wrestler, which is also about a previously-bigger-than-life celebrity who finds himself a victim of his past choices. The verses all contain the line "... then you've seen me."
Interesting, no?
Only other interesting song relation I can draw out is that the ending guitar riff of Outlaw Pete exactly matches the opening guitar riff of My Lucky Day. I was thinking he would meld them into one song transition in concert, but it hasn't happened.
Anything else capture people's attention?
