    Leave You Behind, or One More Hour by Sleater-Kinney

    I liked all the Elliott Smith mentions, but the one I first thought of, No Name No.3 wasn't on the list. That one is so pretty, it makes me think of driving towards the Berkshires in autumn.

    Blistered Heart by Badly Drawn Boy is also heartbreaking, if I had a heart.
