Let's talk about: Farewell Transmission
During a phone interview with Justin Taylor for The Faster Times, Molina describes ‘Farewell Transmission’ as perhaps “one of the most heroic recording moments of all time” for how the arrangement came together with originally unscheduled musicians, live and improvised.
In his own words: “We put, I think, about 12 people in a room and recorded that song live, completely live, and unrehearsed. I showed ‘em the chord progression, they had no idea when it would end, and we just cut it. Steve [Albini] did a beautiful job. I noticed that at one point when it was a little too loud or a little too soft he came and opened a door to make it work, because it was just an ambient recording. When you hear that song kick off everybody knows it, and what’s so disturbing to me is the way that I ended it is I was dictating to the band and Steve—I go “Listen. Listen. Listen.” And then at one point they all stop. It’s great.”

Let's talk about John Henry Split My Heart, probably the most rock and roll song on the record and the penultimate song, trailing behind the somber ballad Hold On, Magnolia. Molina sings various refrains and call backs from previous songs on the album including the heavy Almost Was Good Enough and the "long dark blues" of Farewell Transmission.
In American folk tales, John Henry is seen as the ultimate hard working man. Many musicians, including Jonny Cash, have eluded to the character in their songs, but none have really turned it into a faux-romantic relationship. John Henry split this heart, this full moon heart.
