SUGGESTIONS: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 11,

*1. slow-mid. strum comes in, then harmonica. sad vox, kinda sounds like timbuk3. trumpets.
*2. BEST TRACK: sadder vox. kinda jaunty. sud sad vox end.
*3. even sadder vox. yearning stuff. really sweet
*4. happier&more upbeat. the trumpets help.
5. back to sad/forelorn/depressed. (too long).
*6. ALMOST BEST TRACK: this is just lovely. got that empty room feel. a lil' long. sud end.
7. sad. begin kinda reminds me of 'wild horses.' tooo long.
8. git ala cat stevens/nick drake. ghostly feel.
*9. ALMOST ALMOST BEST TRACK: kinda 'wild horses' begin again. w/harmonica! gets jaunty. long, but beautiful. (can't pin who this reminds me of.)
10. sweet git begin. ascending&descending w/vox. very drake.
*11. could be a campfire song. the vocals are beaut. (long)
12. slow&bittersweet. short song.
