Came across this on the Marginalia search engine.
It's intriguing, not just the way he rhapsodises about songs (many people do, even if *I* would struggle to generate so many words in response to what I thought of a song), but *which songs* he deems worth singling out. There is *almost no* overlap between which songs from Tusk he talks about and which songs I thought were worth keeping in shuffle rotation. He doesn't bother to talk about Mirage at all, while pound for pound I thought Mirage was better than Tusk: 6/12 songs were worth keeping, versus 7/20.

When I was a child, sometimes I would listen to a song on the grocery-store radio and wonder whose favourite song it was. Which person, or people, out there in the world, could...match the resonance of it, perceive it at its best, unlock the joy hidden within a song that to my ears seemed merely okay. (Certainly, most people have never heard the transcendant ecstasy in "Follow You, Follow Me".)
