Seeing as the story is not officially written yet, I would not be surprised if Claudio (the real one) visits forums such as these to gain ideas. Some interpretations are pretty damn creative.

I saw a few posts here about the number of "hails" in this song. There are 57, I counted. Now that the track listing for the new album, "Year of the Black Rainbow" is out, I can finally put an end to this. The 57 "hails" represent the total of 57 Coheed songs, but only if you count the right ones.

SSTB originally has 10 tracks, but for this to work we must count 13 from the re-release. IKSSE:3 has 11 tracks. Some would say it has 12 with 21:13, or 23, but we only count 11. FTTEOM has 15 tracks, but the Willing Well series must be counted as one, giving it 12. NWFT Has 13 tracks, but again The End Complete series must be counted as one, giving it 9. YOTBR has 12 tracks.

13+11+12+9+12=57

Not sure if this was intentional, but it works anyway.

You. Are. So. Clever.
