The album-specific Literallys/Annuallys are my favourites. This one's no exception. Seeing how tracks came into existance is really interesting.

Here are the unreleased songs as listed in Neil’s diaries:

Further recordings made with James Ford:

Adrenaline
Miserere

Other new songs written and demoed:

Why can’t I?
New Year’s Eve
You don’t love me
Living in a lonely time
Ice remembers
Sugar man
Putin’s underpants
Teddy bear

Plus one very old song resurrected:

I’ve got plans involving you

Songs / instrumentals written for Naked:

Lullaby
Bouncing off the walls
Rough with the smooth
I dream of a better tomorrow
The naked truth
Funeral
No one’s got nothing to hide
Uprising
How did I get here?
The spell is broken

Old Neil songs he demoed:

Telephone blues (1971)
The man who got there first (1978)
Simple (1980)

Neil collab with The Blessed Madonna:

Your Thing

I guess The Blessed Madonna collaboration didn't make the cut

Expected scenario. PSB on the fringes of everything...
I've been around the world for a number of reasons. I've seen it all the change of seasons, and I, my lord, may I say nothing?

24 tracks? That’s at least 10 tracks of filler. No album should be 24 tracks long.
is is and isnt isnt

Maybe it’ll be a PSB thing, rather than a Blessed Madonna thing?
Woof.

"Godspeed" seems like an oxymoron for the album name in a number of ways reading that article.

As someone who was born with the nerdy superfan gene, these rambly little conversations warm the cockles of my heart. Imagine sitting in front of these two on a bus. You'd never get off, would you? :lol: :lol: :lol:
Chris: Actually, I like pretentiousness.
Oh boy, does Neil have a book for you!
For your own good, call me tonight.

The chords progression at 2:11 reminds me a bit to Vocal.
