Old Man
A cover of my very favorite Randy Newman song, which is also maybe the saddest song I know.
Sidewinder
Tuned the guitar way down and added some banjo. This song does this thing where it equates "snake" with "girl." Like a metaphor, see. Also: it seems to play better through headphones (possibly because of the use of stereo). But maybe I just have bad speakers.
