My Terrible Ways is definitely the obvious next choice.

Where is the Wind Going? Next, hopefully.
For the record: cassanda is, I HATE you, stop voting for Don't Cry That Way. That's a top ten Frank song rigth there. And My Terrible Ways, outside of some... less than stellar... moments vocally, is brilliant. I love it.

No, no, no! Before you vote for this song, check out the lyrics. Frank wrote this after seeing a story on the news right after Hurricane Katrina. The historical significance of the song has to lend it some serious credence.
I live next door to a couple who lived in New Orleans when Katrina hit, and I can't help but think of them when I hear this song. What solidified it for me was when the guy spent this summer in jail for some transgression back in New Orleans. He's back from jail now, but they're moving out soon -- because on the anniversary of the hurricane, they found out the rental house they were in had been foreclosed by the bank. At any rate, I keep wondering if this song is about my neighbor. It easily could be.
The thing is, there were so many stories like this that were stirred up by the hurricane, and now these folks have been scattered around the country. I appreciate that Frank wrote a song about one of them.

Has anyone ever found the real story behind MTW? I've been trying to google it but no luck. Anyway, I agree that the lyrics are great and the songwriting is stellar on this song, but I really can't stand the way it's played. That sax is too much and the falsetto, well... it works on Sleep but definitely not on this one.
Round closed, by the way.
