Jeff sings a tidy, ordinary kind of melody on Born Alone, a humming sort of afterthought that seems deliberately understated, gently paving the way for the radiant explosions of music that happen in between each verse. The song has a glittering riff that shoots up like single brilliant firework, bursting into a web of joyful indie rock guitar that shimmers brightly and eventually fades to black.
