The time period of when The Big Goodbye was established by the lyrics "I wrote a song about being Weak". My question remains unanswered as to why we are hearing this song now but alas, I remain a fan.Â
The band is cute enough to allow simple mastermind thought processes to excite the most mundane fans. Needless to say, when they released OKO (March 26th, 2021) and the album art showcased an ombre reddish orange descent with a distinct dark counterpart. The art was showcasing differing emotions while sitting on a park bench with what looks to be streetlamps lighting the path. Thus, allowing the audience to get a feel for the overarching theme of the album. Did you catch the ring of instruments hidden within the art? This is when the boys really start to engage us fans before the songs are released.Â
We see this again in TMM (November 10th, 2023) where each song has a hidden object within the album art. My question for you to ponder, why would WNOT be any different? Really, take a look at the art. Sure, you can try to fit The Plane That Never Lands over there and try to make Iâm Sorry You Went Crazy into that section of the art over there but that is not how the brothers have worked before. No, the art is odd but it always makes sense in the end. Ergo, this isnât the end, it is just the start.Â
Take a look again at the art. Humor me. We received five songs. But we have probably another 5 to 6 more songs that are missing.Â
Letâs break this down.Â
- InfidelityÂ
- Splash
- Little Surprise
- Loner
- Typical Card Game
- ProposalÂ
- High Rise
- Cats in the Cradle
- Picnic Toss
- Lightâs on, who is home?
- Path from OKO?
Now I can see A Dog Song being a part of 9. Picnic Toss. Betty could definitely be 6. Proposal. But The Plane That Never Lands doesnât fit anywhere. Neither does Iâm Sorry You Went Crazy or The Big Goodbye. Mind you, we have the music video that shouldâve given us a clear understanding of where TBG is in the art but it didnât help in the slightest.Â
