1. *(6:31)—Very slow, massive-sounding, with lots of synth layers. Heart-rending, almost overwhelming. "I'm inventing life again at seventeen, dancing in a drawing room like in a dream."
2. (6:04)—Slow, with soft acoustic guitar strumming. Floaty, with a roundabout chord progression. Soft brushed drums.
3. *(3:40)—Mid-tempo. Chunky lo-fi guitar strumming, distant drumbeat and tambourine.
4. *(3:32)—Slow. Lo-fi drums, shoegazey distorted guitar textures. Long droning outro.
5. (4:06)—Mid-tempo. Sweet and peaceful. Fingerpicked guitar, sing-song cadence.
6. *(4:19)—Medium-slow. Head-nodding guitar strumming, electronic piano, melancholy harmonies.
7. *(4:08)—Mid-tempo, with tense guitar strumming and slightly glitchy textures. Eerie. Long ambient finish.
8. (2:58)—Instrumental. A reversed recording of synth textures and voice.
9. (5:57)—Very slow. Drone textures, singing that sounds like it's coming from a cave.
