The instrumental Let's Go Away For Awhile sits mid-album with no lyrics at all — what does it contribute that words couldn't?

I think we need this break after all the feeling and heavy timpani “I’m Waiting for the Day”. It feels like the right transition into the rest of the album to me.

I loved Let's Go Away For Awhile. It feels like a purposeful push against the past for a band so rooted in pop music. It's not just an instrumental - it's a really unexpected, unique composition that seems intended to reinforce the atmosphere of the album.

I love them but it does feel like their key contribution was adding bulk.
