By the way, Noah, I think you'd really like the last song on Nick Hornby's Songbook. I mean, it'd kill you, but you'd like it anyway: it's a lovely breakup song by Ani DiFranco that pretends to record the process of its own composition; that is, she begins with a few minutes of aimless piano noodling until she discovers a hook she likes, and then figures out something for her left hand to do, and then picks up her guitar and starts to sing. It's a soft, lovely female vocal, and it has one of the best, most heartbreaking titles for a breakup song I can imagine: "You Had Time."
