    Random but fun question...

    What sequential song titles were meant to form a coherent sentence? I can think of two right off the bat - the second side of Meco's "Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk" is a long instrumental divided into three cuts ("Other", "Galactic" and "Funk"); and on the LP, Donna Summer's 'Try Me (I Know We Can Make It)' is divided into "Try Me", "I Know" and "We Can Make It."

    Also, there was the A- and B-sides, Love's "Seven And Seven Is" and "Number Fourteen."

    Any others? :)

    Here comes the sun because you never give me your money. I think this was intentional to some degree. It's too funny not to be.

    Other Galactic Funk isn’t a sentence.

    Not sure some of the other posters are getting the idea. I can’t think of any off the top of my head, but I’m sure I’ve come across some. I’ll think...

    I think the point of the OP was that songS - at least 2 sequential songs - form a sentence. Or did I get the op wrong?

    "Remember Love".

    "Look At Me, God, My Mummy's Dead".

    That's right, and don't forget the intentional part!

    Awww ok well my first one is correct.

    I always though Michael Penn, “Try” and “Me Around” opening his Resigned album was intentional.

    From "So Far" by Faust:

    "Me Lack Space..."
    "...In the Spirit"

    ... the opening lines of the first track listed.

    I've always thought that All, the 2008 album by Colour Haze made a beautiful poem out of the song titles, clearly intentional:

    1. Silent
    2. Moon
    3. Turns
    4. Lights
    5. If
    6. Stars
    7. All
    8. Fall
    9. One
    10. Remains

    I think you're right, so I was off the mark. But by sequential did OP mean from the same performer, in actual sequence of tracks...

    I took it to mean sequential tracks on one album.
