“Add It Up” because I would have made an extended version with numbers 11, 12, 13, and maybe a 14 as well. Sister, I’ve got some years of living under this old skin of mine…

The Outfield — “Your Love.” Think a catchier song has ever been written? Come around and talk it over.

“Famous Blue Raincoat,” L. Cohen

because it’s simple and sonorous. and because there’s someone I would have liked to have written it for.
