Track 1

Let's start off with a happy tune, Days Like These...even if it does go on way, WAY too long. Though you'll hear everything it has to offer within the first three minutes, anyone who stays the course may notice my trademark: musically the arrangement falls apart – to the point that it can hardly support the melody – before coming back stronger than ever.
