“Play Crack the Sky” is the 11th and final track on Brand New’s second album Deja Entendu. The title refers to a Mylon LeFevre song titled “Crack The Sky”. As a teen, singer Jesse Lacey and his friend John Nolan saw an older Mylon LeFevre playing to an empty parking lot. Nolan shouted “Play Crack the Sky!”, and LeFevre put his head down in shame. The song itself relates the story of a ship that comes under a fierce storm and is destroyed near or around the area of Montauk Point to a relationship that is past the point of no return.
The closing words, “Never to see any other way”, appear to be in reference to the final words of A Day in the Life from The Beatles’ eighth studio album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
This is a complete fabrication of what the real story behind it is.

Nice Beatles homage. Though still not a big fan of the ending, didn't like it on Sgt. Pepper and I don't like it on here. Just feels out of place, awkward and best placed as fast forwarding that part. Though I can see why people would like it especially the authenticity, but it's just not my cup of tea.

the overlaid vocal harmony at the end is probably the best part of this song. it makes me depressed, though.
