	Is it just me or does the bass riff they keep going into between verses sound like a faster version of the bassline of "I Can't Stand Losing You"? Both songs do have suicidal narrators, so maybe it's some clever self-referencing.

	'Deathwish', the only "group" composition, rocks pretty hard utilizing complex tempo changes … [George Starostin]
