* "A Beautiful Place" may reference the Third Eye Blind song "Horror Show" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmISve9wTqw) which has the lyrics, "I'd shoot there in a second, just for the breathing space I'd put the punks on the moon, for head room mods rule the Galaxy. And that's the way, I think things should be. A Creep in you is a Creep in me. The gravity pushes down like a lie. We want wild sex but we don't want to die. We're the bait in a horror show." SR may be about how Keith Moon put goldfish in his transparent drum kit one time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPKGidTdyds) and the general fur/meat culture associated with Mods. The sunshine recorder would be the drum with water inside, and the "blinding of the third eye" of sunlight shining through the eyeball may be a reference to staring at the sun too long/Pi.

** More esoteric but the beat is synchronized with the "Dum did dee dum dum" of "Dog On Fire" by They Might Be Giants, the theme song of The Daily Show (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7KiXMfTe5M). At the start of Jon's tenure, he had a routine where he would talk to his clone, who sat around off stage (lyrics in SR are "Fight Evil" (...twins)). The clone wore a "BRONX ZOO" t-shirt, which Stewart also wore around the Talk Show circuit.
