I agree, "Philosophy of Loss" is one of their better ones. When my "Nomads, Indians, Saints" tape broke, I bought the CD to replace it, and re-taped it so I could listen in my car. Since the blank tape I used was a 90 minute one, I had room to put "Philosophy of Loss" on before and after the songs originally on "Nomads." (And it was a real pain trying to record from the "middle" of a track on the CD, as I had to continually fast-forward/reverse until I got to the right spot, and try to un-pause the tape in time before the music started.) I also added "Cold as Ice," which was on the B side of the old cassette single of "Closer to Fine" which was the first Indigo Girls recording I bought, and I haven't seen anywhere else. (It's not even listed on the Discography and Lyrics page (http://www.indigogirls.com/disco.html) of the official site.) I'm afraid most of the other songs on "Come On Now Social" never really resonated with me as much as their earlier stuff, although I always feel a pang of depression when "Go" ( which I hear mostly on "Retrospective" ) says:
"Did they tell you it was set in stone, That you'd end up alone? Use your years to psych you out, You're too old to care, You're too young to count."
Why yes, I do describe myself as a hopeless romantic in my user-info bio; I just mean it in more ways than the standard usage.
