This one has grown on me over the years. Upon first hearing it, I didn’t particularly care for it, but the story is one nearly any of us has experienced in some form or another. It may not be “boy meets girl…..”, but it’s there.

Great choice, neo. “Better Place” was my favorite of all his “stories” way back when.
I got to see Harry perform twice while in college. He would spend several months each year traveling across the country and performing alone in benefits to raise money for battling world hunger.
