Thank you
I'm still confused on why 5 before 3 and 4 but whatevs. It's prog.
When Neal was writing his last album
Momentum early last year, he started writing a song with Randy that ended up having a "Thoughts"-like feel to it, and so he decided to use it on his album. After putting the album together, he remembered he had helped his brother in the fall/winter of 2011, Alan Morse (of Spock's Beard), to write a couple new songs for THEIR upcoming album - and there was a "Thoughts"-like song among those sessions.
So with THAT in mind, Neal decided he was going to call his song "Thoughts Part 4", but later changed it to "Part 5", just in case SB wanted to do one more "Thoughts" song in the coming years/albums... or if HE wanted to do it. And that's why Neal has "Thoughts Part 5" on HIS album, and we get "Part 3" in "Afterthoughts" on the upcoming SB album.
