Birth in Reverse because when I saw her live I involuntarily whooped at the end of it.

I Prefer Your Love is probably my song of the year. It was my favourite when I first heard the album and then reading it was written when her mum was seriously ill just made it even more touching. It gets to me in the same way that Being Boring, This Woman's Work and Oh Father all do.
The whole album is brilliant and close to overtaking Actor as my favourite of hers.

Think I voted for Prince Johnny. That spirally chorus gets me every time.

i really liked the interview i read (can't remember where?) where she said the chorus was loosely modelled on James Brown's 'Hot Pants'. Goes to show where inspiration can come from and a seemingly simple idea can come from a fair amount of inspiration/perspiration.

Forgot to vote in this. Probably would have picked birth in reverse or digital witnesses. I'm surprised how much this album has grown on me. I think it's her best so far.
