* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQSdpoI42hs "Little Birds"]] is arguably the most disturbing Neutral Milk Hotel track. The legendary track was [[https://youtu.be/-k9ONNRLSnk premiered]] at Chris Bilheimer's birthday party in 1998 to which would be one of Jeff's final public appearances prior to NHM's indefinite hiatus later that year to which Jeff apologised in advanced to the party goers for the "sick parts". The track didn't get a release until 2011 as part of the the NHM001 Box Set and has been performed live during Jeff Mangum's solo shows since. Although the track predates the event, the song is dedicated in memory of Matthew Shepard, a University of Colorado student who was lynched and murdered by three men for being homosexual. The lyrics are widely interpreted to be about a closeted character who is scared to come out to their parents and fly the coup following his devout religious father beating to death his younger brother for also being homosexual. If this is a taster of what possible material following "Aeroplane" could have sounded like, God only knows what Jeff could have in the vault.

* The ending of "Communist Daughter" is particularly chilling if you happen to be listening to it at night.

* "Sailing Through" ends on a CarefulWithThatAxe moment that actually made one of my friends - a hardened 4chan addict, by the way - ''turn white''. It is utterly harrowing.

** Not to mention that April 8th, the song that precedes it, has an extremely ominous feel and transitions into "Pree Sisters" without warning.

* "Where You'll Find Me Now" [[LastNoteNightmare ends with a distorted sample of carnival music.]] Kind of cliché, but still creepy if you're hearing it for the first time.

* [[http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8p1Swa_pQcY "Invent Yourself A Shortcake"]] is an early set of Neutral Milk Hotel recordings that was self-released in limited quantities during the early '90s. Much of it consists of field recordings and sound experiments done by Jeff Mangum, many of which are quite unsettling.

* The first guitar strums in "Oh Comely" are innocent enough until you've heard the song through a few times. Then they become the most terrifying sounds imaginable. "I will be with you when you lose your breath," indeed.
