THIS. No song has made me feel like Emily. When the tempo picks up and she's all:
>"Though all i knew of the rote universe were those Pleiades loosed in december // I promised you I'd set them to verse so I'd always remember."

15/10 moment. Might be my favorite moment of any song ever. It's so good.

I honestly think that for what an opener is supposed to do, Prowler fills that job better than any other song I can think of. It makes you want to turn the album on again just to hear it, it's a fucking great song and it really makes you want to hear whatever else might be on the album.

Cmon, you're hearing it in your head already
>WALKIN' THROUGH THE CITY

>>68958534
>WHO WOULD BE A POOR MAN, A BEGGAR MAN, A THIEF?

I don't even know if it's one of the best songs ever or anything, but damn if it isn't a perfect opener.

Beware is weaker than their other openers. It's really good, but their best openers are Come Up and Get Me, Pillbox Hat and Up My Sleeves. Worst opener imo is Giving bad people good ideas.
