Guitarist Robert Dallas Grey explains in press supplies how “Love Trinity” has “taken on extra significance over time, as a result of it looks like a swansong.” He writes:

It’s good to mark ‘Love Trinity,’ as a tune—it’s at all times felt prefer it slipped by the cracks a bit. It was the final tune we recorded, one of many final we wrote. We recorded it as a one-off single for Trifekta Data in Australia, to advertise the tour we had been going to do there. I feel it felt fairly totally different from the opposite stuff; it got here out of Chris’s bassline (which a number of issues did), and it had the delay impact on the guitar, and the kind of huge guitar solo. There’s even an element the place Sue’s vocals are multi-tracked—so whereas all of the earlier stuff had intentionally been very dry and stay sounding, it was extra of a kind of atmospheric factor. I don’t suppose it was anybody’s favorite on the time, however lots of people we knew beloved it and mentioned it was the perfect factor we’d accomplished. For me it’s taken on extra significance over time, as a result of it looks like a swansong, I assume.
