Subject: RE: Songwriter's Songwriters
If I could sing ONE song, it would be Richard Thompson's "Has He Got a Friend For Me". In under three minutes, Thompson managed to capture the loneliness, jealousy and self-pity that a young girl feels at seeing her friend and her boyfriend together. The song resounds for me because I can remember vividly feeling like the girl in the song when I was fifteen.
