Note
The song “True Believer” had been noted to exist for a number of years as an instrumental recorded during the XO sessions. In the liner notes for the Heaven Adores You soundtrack, it was revealed that Elliott had recorded an early version of this song entitled “Little Caesars,” although it is unclear as to when exactly it was recorded and whether it was recorded with Stranger Than Fiction, Harum Scarum, Neil Gust, Heatmiser or on his own.
