Lowell George - 'Twenty Million Things'
This track is 2 minutes and 50 seconds of perfect balladry. It was recorded for Lowell George's (of Little Feat) first and only solo album. George wrote it with Jed Levy and it was one of only four songs on the album that weren't cover versions. It's a simple bitter-sweet love song that shows the little things in life that pale into insignificance when compared to love and love lost.
I'm a complete sucker for a good melancholy ballad and this is one of my favourites, principally because of the superb lyrics. I often wonder how many things Lowell 'left undid' when he died at the age of 34.

If it's fix a fence, fender dents
I've got lots of experience
Rent gets spent
All the letters never written, that don't get sent
It comes from confusion, all things I left undone
It comes from moment to moment, day to day
The time seems to slip away
But I've got twenty million things to do, twenty million things
All I can think about is you
With twenty million things
Twenty million things to do
I've got mysterious wisteria hanging in the air
The rocking chair I was supposed to fix
Well it came undid
And all the things that I let slip, I found out quick
It comes from moment to moment, day to day
The time seems to slip away
But I've got twenty million things to do, twenty million things
All I can do, is think about you
With twenty million things to do
Twenty million things to do
I've got lots of experience
Rent gets spent
All the letters never written, that don't get sent
It comes from confusion, all things I left undone
It comes from moment to moment, day to day

But I've got twenty million things to do, twenty million things

And all the things that I let slip, I found out quick
It comes from moment to moment, day to day

But I've got twenty million things to do, twenty million things
All I can do, is think about you
With twenty million things to do
Twenty million things to do
