XX – Walk Away [Interlude] Walk away, walk away, walk away, away (Ooh) Away (Ooh) (Ooh-aah) [Produced By: Frank Ocean] [Written By: Christopher Breaux] “Walk Away” is present in all released versions of Endless; however, only the title sequence from the DVD & VHS list the track by name, and otherwise, it is considered the outro of “Hublots”. The CD track length of “Hublots” is 1:48.320, with “Walk Away” beginning at 1:29.781 and lasting 18.539 seconds. Notes & Sample Credits NOTES: “Device Control” and its reprise are not included in audio-only releases of the album, with “Mitsubishi Sony” extended to 2:51, leading to a total length of 38:27. “Comme des Garçons” is incorrectly spelt “Commes des Garcons” in video releases. “Wither” and “Rushes To” are both titled as a play-on-words: “Wither”, as in ‘With Her’, and “Rushes To” as in ‘Rushes Two’. Both are used as homophones—different words that sound the same—and are similar to other songs by Frank, including “Orion”, as in ‘Oh, Ryan’, and “Solo” / “Solo (Reprise)”, as in ‘So Low’. “Hublots” contains the unlisted track “Walk Away”, written by Christopher Breaux, at approximately 1:30. “Hublots” contains an interpolation of “Easy” by Frank Ocean, an unreleased track meant for the album Blonde. The existence of “Easy” is solely based on the lyrics found in Boys Don’t Cry magazine, but not much is known about the track otherwise. Additionally, “Mitsubishi Sony” appears in the lyrics of Boys Don’t Cry magazine, indicating the track was intended for Blonde at some point prior to release. The lyrics sheets accompanying the vinyl release list the lyrics from the second verse of “Hublots” with the instrumental track “In Here Somewhere”. “Mitsubishi Sony” is stylized as “Mitsu-Sony” in the VHS/DVD releases. There are some discrepancies between various track listings of the album. Not all releases list the songs “Ambience 001: In a Certain Way”, “Xenons”, “Ambience 002: Honey Baby”, “Walk Away”, “Deathwish (ASR)”, “Mitsubishi Sony”, and the reprise of “Device Control” in their tracklists. SAMPLE CREDITS: “At Your Best (You Are Love)” is a cover of the Isley Brothers’ song “(At Your Best) You Are Love” written by Ernie Isley, Marvin Isley, Christopher Jasper, Rudolph Isley, O’Kelly Isley Jr., and Ronald Isley (1976); performed in the rendition of Aaliyah’s cover “At Your Best (You Are Love)” (1994). Ocean’s cover first appeared on his Tumblr page in January 2015, originally titled “You Are Luhh”, released as a tribute to Aaliyah on her posthumous 36th birthday. “A Certain Way” contains a sample of “I Think I Am in Love with You” performed by Wee (1977), written by Norman Whiteside, and an excerpt of Crystal LaBeija’s dialogue from the documentary film The Queen (1968). “Honeybaby” contains a sample of “Vapor Barato” performed by Gal Costa (1971), written by Jards Macalé and Waly Salomão. “Hublots” contains a sample of “We Ride Tonight” performed by The Sherbs (1982), written by Daryl Braithwaite, Garth Porter, and Anthony Mitchell. “Rushes” contains an interpolation of “Just Like Water” written by Lauryn Hill (2002).
