I took to it immediately because it explained love in a way that really resonated with my 14-year-old self. It doesn’t carry the same weight for me now, but I still think there’s something to be said for the way it describes love in simple, unfussy terms.

I guess what I really miss is how consistent he was from around 1997 to about 2002 with his single choices.

But I also think the opposite could be said. “Better than I Used To Be” is in my book better a lot better than “Refried Dreams,” “Indian Outlaw” (which I liked when it came out but find unbearable now), “Don’t Take The Girl,” and the like.

In my mind, Tim has been fairly consistent throughout his career. I think in all stages he has released some great songs, some okay songs and a some clunkers (of course what I find a clunker you might think is awesome). I think that’s typical of most of the bigger stars.
