B-side


"This Alone Is Love" was the B-side, in an earlier, rawer form than the one that was re-recorded for Stay on These Roads. Both versions can be easily differentiated by their duration and the use of certain instruments. The earlier version is notable for its organ solo that sets in at 3:36 until the end of the song. The Scoundrel Days version is notable for its guitar solo. The chorus ("It will make my last breath pass out at dawn / It will make my body dissolve out in the blue") is derived from the song "May the Last Danse Be Mine" by Waaktaar and Furuholmen's previous band, Bridges.
