The image is the cover of an early single, Matilda/Fitzpleasure. It's a triangle-shaped 10" vinyl record, and it came out a couple of months before An Awesome Wave.

Not sure anybody knows. Went on Genius and this is all they had to say.
> Though the lyrics are improvised and difficult to make out, our best guess is something like:
>And of all the things, I’ve loved you And I will lie for you
> And I waited, I waited for you
>Wanted to promise you
>Of a body [?] down [?]
>But I will float for you
>And the world will crumble to
>Wanted to promise you
Then they mention you can hear what they're saying better in their live performances, but that it doesn't sound at all like what they say in the studio version. That's all I got!
I didn't know about the book until I started digging deeper into the songs lyrics / heard the guys talk about it in an interview. Very cool to see someone figure out about the song who already knew the book. Thanks for sharing.
Like someone else mentioned, Taro has a great story behind it. Here's a link that explains the lyrics pretty nicely.
I don't know what browser you have, so just download it to whichever browser you do, and then set the country that you want to view the movie from as "Britain" when accessing Amazon uk. It works really well!
Yeah in order to download the app you have to set up a VPN with an app such as TunnelBear. Just having fake GPS coordinates won't trick the play store into thinking you can download the app. the fake coordinates only work on the TIAY app itself
You need to download a VPN app that will let you access the play store as if you're from somewhere in Europe (UK would be the easiest). Look up the TunnelBear app, run it, clear the data of the Play store app, and then open the play store again and download the TIAY app.
