Great write up but I’d say you do the final song short shrift. The song is about two lovers who care for each other more than any performance."Miss the Start, Miss the End" is nothing to be especially fond of or amazed by.
“And there are things to be loved and things to only attend”
They put their own love story and passion in front of the performances we value. It’s a bit naughty, they miss the start and the end to probably make love, and a bit envious, and a bit genius. Probably my favorite song on a very good album.
