I'd subtract "Our Song" from that list (haven't warmed up to it at all, though it's the current single, and Xhuxk likes it more than he likes "Teardrops On My Guitar"), would add "A Place In This World" (Taylor Swift as Jordan Pruitt!), "Cold As You," "The Outside," "Stay Beautiful," and especially "Should've Said No" (a track that got me three points in the League Of Pop). (This leaves "Mary's Song" as the one other song on the outside looking in.)

As for "Teardrops," the way she sings "Drew looks," "Drew talks," etc. at the beginning of lines is some of the most beautiful singing ever. The song loses itself a bit in the chorus, getting too sing-songy. By the way, there's a second version of the song with more harmonies and guitars which is the one that's getting the airplay on Radio Disney. I'm not sure which version is the one that's getting Top 40 play (the song started on the country charts, jumped pop about half a year ago, rose and fell and then rose again).

"Teardrops" is Jimmy Draper's least favorite track on the album. Jimmy's the fellow who first told me that I had to pay attention to Taylor, said that he was getting the same feelings he'd gotten from listening to Ashlee's Autobiography.

By the way, I forget if I ever linked you to "Come In With The Rain," the best of the Taylor Swift outtakes. Let me know.
