"Everybody Needs Salvation" | "Everybody Needs Salvation" was only released on 7" one-sided red vinyl, with a digital MP3 download of the track for members of the fan club. The 7" features no B-side, meaning this side of the single is smooth. The song was recorded in February [[2015]], several months after the sessions for their then-most recent album ''[[Everything Will Be Alright in the End]]'', but a version of the song was written prior to and considered for the album at one point. A portion of the bridge lyrics appear in the album liner notes after the lyrics for "[[The British Are Coming]]". | ||
