Best Acoustic "Richey" Song

Richey talked about wanting to write the perfect 15 lines - the lines that would sum up everything he felt. I've always felt 'Too Cold Here' actually did exactly epitomize everything he (seemed to) feel at that time. But that's just me, and I'm not Richey, so who am I to say? At any rate, that song is fantastic, IMO, that's all.

Yes, it is- if I had to nominate a favourite, it'd be this and for the same reasons.

You left out 'Ain't Goin' Down'?

SBFTGITS has to be a winner though surely.

Well put. Agreed.

Tie between Small Black Flowers and Too Cold Here

Small Black Flowers for me, really don't like Facing Page, and the others don't really do it for me.
