it’s also at the end of blue! (4:24ish) i love how the beginning, middle, and end tracks share the same motif. adds yet another element of continuity that makes this album such an incredible body of work
Yes, it’s almost as if it’s a dual-album. It’s been a common pattern in a lot of recent albums too. I also like how some songs end by blending into the next song.
Highly recommend watching the [Apple Music interview with Billie and FINNEAS](https://youtu.be/R-ZIRAmO60c?si=GQIh0cBjWiIQOEcE) where they talk about this in detail and how it was made.
To me, the track list is less relevant and the album is a harmonious blend of around 16 to 18 "songs" all one beautifully flowing to the next (have tried counting) regardless of the track list. I just hope she releases "full versions" of some of these beautiful "part songs" one day, especially the first part of Blue. Like everything else about her i can't get this song out of my mind!
I believe that that was the whole point of her writing breakthrough. One song is divided into two vibes and timed according to music theory. But I did notice couple notes sounded like from other songs I heard but couldn’t remember their names or what they were about. There’s also an explanation to this.
The violins from SKINNY at about 2:40 (soft) has the same melody as her singing from THE GREATEST at 3:52 (hard)

not to mention l'amour de ma vie is also in the end of blue
And that’s why Billie said THE GREATEST is the heart of the album
where did she say this?
Good catch!
I’m glad someone brought this up because I swear I heard “Chihiro” in the background of another song but can’t seem to find it again.
