    I'd put the classic DMB feel in the fact that I believe the song to be a rework of the one-off Me and Her from 1994-04-06 Atlanta. Boyd's part, well... before it is lost in the Write A Song mix, is spot-on. Dave's base riff is the same and even some of Tim's fills are very reminiscent of the jam that has more horn involvement in the end than Write A Song.

    Always was a fun tune, wonder if it came back through by chance or in listening to old tapes.

    You're aware that it was released on the "Little Red Bird" EP that accompanied the special edition Big Whiskey album, right? That it has, in truth, seen "the light of day"?

    He meant the studio version never sees the light of day in his iTunes, on his playlists, on CDs, or playcount.

    I like Write a Song and agree that it probably should have made the album in the US, but I don't think it would have been a better single that You and Me. I could see it on the album instead of Dive In or just being a 14th track.

    Hey, I had to reformat my computer and for some reason my Write a Song file is corrupt now. A hook-up would be much appreciated so I can enjoy this song once again.
