"Charlie Smyth follows it with an original, “Buddy,” an interesting and unusual song that I seriously dig. “The air tastes like chewed up pencils/Old beat up utensils/Tossed on the desk like forks in the road/Busted forks in the road.” This is a song that was also included on Thunderstorm, but unlike the original Western Shore version, this rendition features some cool percussion. I don’t know what it is about this song, but there is something seriously appealing about it, and it somehow makes me feel good." - Michael Doherty's Music Log
