I don't think it is. But it could be a section from the song (beginning or end), I guess. It doesn't sound like anything in the main body of the song.

They have Sirens and Future Days back to back on the album. As i understand, both are ballads - it would be odd for them to follow eachother. Sleeping will also probably be a ballad and is also a part of the same sequence as Sirens and FD - potential awkward song placement - IMO.

I disagree, actually. Sirens, if it's that soundcheck song, is a driving (though slow) rock song which builds like black. FD and SBM have potential to stay quite mellow. A bigger problem is that they awkwardly place mellow tracks next to loud ones. Parachutes is in a fucking awful place on S/T, and JB could be placed better on Backspacer. I think that if we get lost in ballad country for a while on this album, that's better than having one sandwiched between other stuff. If anything, it might mean that they don't load the second half with boring stuff, maybe even save a 'Leash' for the end. That would be cool. Not that we'll get a Leash.

Sleeping followed by FD actually makes sense.
Don't think Sirens will be a ballad

:nice:

And since Sirens sounds like Rocky IV, this might be a concept album about boxing. "I Vill Break You (live)" is the secret track.
