Patty has a song on the Elizabethtown soundtrack...one of my favorites...'Long Ride Home'. It's about a spouse, assumably the husband (she sings from this perspective sometimes....like in Top of the World.) riding in the limo home from his wife's funeral, reflecting upon all the things he wonders if he might have done differently...now that it's too late. Very similar message to that of Top of the World. In addition to these, and of course Goodbye, here of some of my recommendations....although I am far from a Patty expert. (But I sure do love these songs!!)
'Tony' is about a gay person who kills himself told from the perspective of a former classmate who considered herself miserable as well, and wonders how she would have been so self absorbed as to not notice how fatally miserable Tony was. If that song doesn't wrench emotion from your very soul, I'd be inclined to think you don't have one.

I have picked up things here and there about some of those songs, but I would love to know more. Of couse, I don't really even have the time for my pre-existing music obsession, so... the Patty obsession will have to take a back burner for awhile.
I'm too classless to enjoy Tomorrow Night or Mil Besos and the like. Sorry, but the fact that my rock -n- roll -n- redneck roots allow me to appreciate her at all is quite a feat in itself.
I also love Take It Down, and Whole Heap of Little Horses...both of which are cover songs.
I too am glad to see more Patty fans. Thanks for sharing those songs with everyone Haley. I will try to learn how to share some songs too.
