"Trying to get my mansions green
After I've Grey Gardens seen
Honey won't you hold me tight
Get me through Grey Gardens tonight"

It's awfully difficult to draw a line between the past and the present. Awfully difficult. Know what I mean?

I've been listening to "Greek Song" and "Across The Universe" incessantly as of late.

i'd start with Want One and his self-titled debut. those are my favorites. but i know others prefer Poses.

He's great, but he needs to branch out musically.

IMO 1/2 of his catalog sounds exactly the same. And he's only got 4 albums out. Those songs are still good, but definitely not ground-breaking.

i agree. i like his lyrics and his melodies, but the end results sound so samey. i like 'poses' the best of all his albums because of the diverse instrumentation.
