Lyrics

Think it over, run away
Think it over, another day
Think it over, run away
Think it over, one bright day

Warm me up now, turn me over
Shadows passing, don't look away
It's just a bright day
Just a bright day
Just a bright day to hide away

NOTES:

• This song was composed for the score of the 2001 film "Things Behind The Sun". It plays at 3 points in the movie, over the opening credits (with vocals by Kim), about 40 minutes in (instrumentally), and as the last song in the closing credits (instrumental but uninterrupted, lasting 1'41". This is the first of three SY songs actually titled in the closing credits, as "Theme from Things Behind the Sun". However, it was included on the first web-only 'Mix Tape' from sonicyouth.com as 'Think It Over' -- so apparently it's been renamed.
• SY submitted several versions of this for the soundtrack, including a seven-and-a-half minute instrumental exploration.
• In addition to the 3 songs listed in the credits ("Theme from Things Behind the Sun", "Stalker" and "Magic Air") the soundtrack also featured a few minute-or-less incidental passages, with floaty guitar harmonics and behind-the-bridge strumming, etc. Several longer pieces were cut, including the Unknown skronk rocker featured in the film and a longer floaty guitar open string attack type thing. Two versions of a finger-picked acoustic figure likely instigated by Jim appear, though unused in the film. An eight-minute bizarre beatbox modulation piece also exists, also unused.
