The genius of Adore

The first song (To Sheila) sounds like the middle of another album. The last song (17) is abruptly cut in the middle. Some of the lyrics also get cut up in the middle in the booklet. This is all done to signify the brevity of life: we are always born into a middle, into an already existing world, and we always die before we’re able to experience everything the world has to offer.
