This is typical Bill to me, in the best way possible. Take a song you already know and love - play a kind of random version of it - further reaffirming that it’s not only a great song, but in fact another beautiful alternate version of it exists.

Christ almighty ... a gorgeous sunny winter morning in Toronto, ruined by this piece of shite.

Kinda gloomy, but it works for me at this time - fortunately I'm not driving while hearing it though.

Wow! For the longest time I thought this was Lover's Split. I finally realized it's Lover's Spit. Which is kinda gross. Not that it matters, I really dislike this song no matter what it's called.

OMG!!!!

I just got this HORRIBLE picture that I pray I can beat out of my head this afternoon before leaving work, of this 'attractive' spit-ster having a trade with Hilary, her reputed BFF.

OMG!!!

Funny how many negative comments there are about this one. I do understand what they're saying — repetitive, simple, etc... but I have to say I'm a little bit addicted to this one. Just raised if from a 7 to an 8. And sometimes I just have to go play it in iTunes to get a little fix.

Wow. This almost ended up being my first 1, will stick with 2 for now. First song I've heard on RP for a long time that prompted that reaction.

Funny how the piano version changed the singer's gender... Love both of them anyway (although the album version slightly more)

The SongMeanings comments on this are fascinating. No one seems to be able to make "heads or tails" of this one. No pun intended. Okay, maybe just a little intended.

Let's hear some real piano from "The Killer" (Jerry Lee Lewis) sometime. Something that features his "gospel" sound. I wish I'd learned to play when I was a kid, but passed it up by being a spoiled brat. Now I'm a crusty, ole codger who listens (and looks) with envy at those who play instruments. Young folks, take notice!

Take about 50-75% of the symbol noise out of this track, and it'd be a great (slow) song. As it is, I can barely hear the vocals or piano over the metal crashing noises.

Don't know about Hem - I was thinking she's probably more recognized by her solo efforts- "My Moon My Man", etc. Glad to BSS on RP - as mentioned below they are a bit uneven, but worth exploring - interesting stuff.
