#1 The Downtown Lights
So good, the build and build to the last min or so is just wonderful.
'I'm tired of crying on the stairs', and the 'hey yeah' right at the end
I did a video mash up on this as bits of it always reminded me of Deckard in Blade Runner.

THE break up song IMO. Quietly devastating: mournful horns, quiet piano, and a vocal masterpiece.
Been reading on his vocal technique: tldr willfully imperfect, prioritising touch, feel, emotion and soul.
