The ultimate FM show-closer bar none, although Goodbye Baby and Hypnotized both did a good job as well. On the album it comes in perfectly after the aggression of GYOW to close side 1 - the old days when the two sides of the vinyl album could be seen as separate entities. On the DVD-A they put this as the final track, which was a better solution for a single-sided disc.
David O. once convincingly argued that even though the track is dominated by the piano and the guitar only plays rhythm, the piano on Songbird isn't a lead instrument. It isn't Chris' style to play lead!
A gorgeous vocal as well. If I had to choose my favourite Christine song at gunpoint, I might choose this one. Or Hold Me. Or Brown Eyes. Or... you get me.
