    You can bend it into a love song, if you want ... but it's really a lullaby for a baby (written for Jack Irons' newborn).

    If you try to make it a man-woman love song ... it comes off as sort of stalker-y.

    You Are

    It's a little more upbeat than a traditional love song, but the lyrics say it all. I am trying to convince a buddy of mine to play it acoustic at my wedding next summer.

    For straight studio recording, you can't go wrong with Thin Air...

    You Are is a decent runner-up...
    If Adam and Eve had Taco Bell they would have never eaten that filthy fruit...

    In terms of just being a good song ... Parachutes kicks Thin Air in the ass.

    black is not a love song. It's a break up, have a great life song.

    Parachutes is the ticket.
    We're still making records for people who listen to it all the way through, eyes closed, in that space.
