There will be a countdown clock to announce 'Lightning' and then another countdown clock (only a few seconds long) to announce 'Thunder'.

And with the latter, the 10C servers will literally go down with a bang.

My main thought on why that track list is potentially wrong is Sleeping By Myself. I don't understand why they would choose to redo the best song on ukulele songs on an album, from what I've heard so far, is thematically different. Light Today would be the most obvious candidate for a pj song. Light today into mym would be a strong album opening

I don't remember where it started, but sleeping by myself has been rumored for a while after a seemingly credible source said a reworked uke song would be on the album

The guy who claimed to have heard Sirens (well before it was confirmed by O'Brien) is, from memory, the same guy who stated that a countrified full band version of Sleeping by Myself is on the record. It seems (relatively) legit.
