The album starts off with “DVD Menu” a perfect introduction to the album just being an instrumental track. It then goes on to “Garden Song” a love song with a melancholy haunting sound, as shown when she says, “everything is growing in our garden, you don’t have to know that its haunted.” Its underlying sad message is overshadowed by the upbeat melody. The album then goes to the rock song “Kyoto.” Much like “Garden Song” it has an upbeat tempo that hides the true sadness behind her lyrics. Originaly intended to be a ballad about her relationship with her father, it has lyrics like “I wanted to see the world, then I flew over the ocean, then I changed my mind.” These lyrics have Phoebe’s known melancholic feel but are paired with a rock beat. However, none of the sadness is hidden in the next two songs, “Punisher” and “Halloween,” both having a haunting sound with blunt sad lyrics like “either I’m careless or I wanna get caught.” But these lyrics are still paired with Phoebe’s wit that makes the songs a perfect melody of feelings. Track 6 titled “Chinese Satellite” is about Phoebe’s feelings about death paired with an echo sound of her voice making it arguably one of her most lonely sounding songs.

Now the saddest songs on the album “Moon Song” and “Savoir Complex” make the listener feel that “waiting to be stepped on feeling,” according to Pitchfork. Phoebe’s voice sounds like she is on the verge of tears in both tracks which only adds to the effect. She reverts to her folk ballad sound, like songs of hers from the past like “Georgia” and “Smoke Signals.” She describes vivid scenes perfectly and really displays her storytelling abilities on these tracks. The third and second to last tracks “ICU” and “Graceland Too” are more uplifting and more what you could categorize as love songs.
