Great selections, particularly "Rooks" and "On the Water." I still don't understand why people think "In the New Year" is a better song, not that I don't love it as well...
Jeff, I agree "Rooks" is an absolutely amazing song. "On the Water" or "In the New Year", you can't go wrong with either but a solid case could be made for all 13 songs off of You & Me.
