There and Back Again

Pondering: It’s all right letting yourself go as long as you can let yourself back. (Mick Jagger)

I saw this question at some random website, can’t remember anymore which one: if you were a songwriter, what songs do you wish you composed? If I were a songwriter, these are the songs I wish I wrote (in no particular order):

• Eleanor Rigby (John Lennon/Paul McCartney)
• Real Love (John Lennon)
• Get Off Of My Cloud (Mick Jagger/Keith Richards)
• Enjoy the Silence (Martin L. Gore)
• Baby, I Love Your Way (Peter Frampton)
• Hey There, Delilah (Tom Higgenson)
• Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright (Bob Dylan)
• Fearless (Richard Wright/David Gilmour)
• All Through the Night (Jules Shear)
• The Frog Prince (Tim Rice-Oxley et. al.)
• River (Joni Mitchell)
• Don’t Panic (Chris Martin, et. al.)
• If You Could Read My Mind (Gordon Lightfoot)
• She’s Got You (Hank Cochran)
• Yesterday (Lennon/McCartney)
