Five Leaves Left starts to drown in strings at a certain point but the opening three and ‘Cello Song are incredible, perfect for this time of year.

duh, part of the “opening three” of course

I recently scared my daughter by telling her she could play “Place to Be” at my memorial when I die (hopefully about 100 years hence)

Bryter Layter. "Over-produced" "muzak arrangements" "like I'd hear in a grocery store" rule!

Love all three obv, but I'd probably pick 5 leaves since for me it somehow captures the whole spectrum of his work

My Hannibal / Rycodisk issue of Pink Moon lists "Road" as "Radio", which brought confusion when people talked about "Road"

It was one of the first songs of his I learnt to play on guitar. Drop the high G to E and you're good to go.
