The title of "Four in the Morning (I Can't Take Anymore)" describes the time of day Jack Blades wrote the song. In an interview with the Songfacts website, he explained, "Literally, I wrote that song at 4 in the morning. I mean, I woke up, and I had an idea, (singing) 'I can't take anymore, I can't fake anymore, it's such a hard time loving you.'"

gollark: Oh, and more bees: IMPLICIT STRING CONCATENATION?`"a" "b" "c"` → `"abc"` (string literals only).
gollark: Wow, this new material was a great idea, thanks <@!293066066605768714>.
gollark: But lists are mutable, so it appended to the list fine, but `+=` tries to mutate the tuple, which python does not like, so it errors AFTER that.
gollark: No, it did error.
gollark: I mean, I like it *generally*, but seriously why.
