"Truck Stop Girl"

When I started this project, I'd listened to (Untitled) only twice.  I've become more familiar with it over the last few years, and I'm going to start writing about it, although most of my initial notes will be just small points.

In "Truck Stop Girl," "young" in the line "But he was so young" (which occurs later as "And he was so young") is sung with a melisma (Eb Bb), giving a sense of degree (for "so").
