My iPod just played Vienna Teng's Eric's Song on shuffle and I again have to marvel at her way with words and hope she'll try her hand at fiction one day. (I can dream.)

 It's hard to pick favorites with her music but I'm very fond of Stray Italian Greyhound.

I wonder if songwriters ever wince whenever they look at their earlier work like I do whenever I look at my old fiction pieces. Even if I had spent hours refining and editing every line, I always see something that could have been phrased better.
