I had it on in the car one time, and it got to one part and she says, "I like this!"
Unfortunately, she can't stomach the other 22 minutes of it.

Shaking the Tree version is the one I know best, I actually wasn't aware the song appeared on the Fripp album until now. Apparently every version since the debut album is the stripped down arrangement, and was actually Gabriel's initial intention but he was overruled by Bob Ezrin.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Is that the one from Fripp's "exposure" album?

Izz - I Believe
Iona - Today
Peter Gabriel - Here Comes the Flood (solo piano version)
----Carpet Crawlers would be extremely creepy in this context.

Hope you have a fantastic day  Lazarus for me, if only because my lovely wife thought it utterly beautiful when I first played it to her. She's not easily impressed by prog

Hackett's The Virgin & The Gypsy would probably work the best out of all listed.

Also, I think that the Gentle Giant track Think of Me with Kindness should be included. That twangs the female heartstrings. At least in the one case I really care about.

The Porcupine Tree and Decemberists tracks are all great.

She sounds like she's on a pretty similar page musically to my girlfriend. With that in mind, my Beck loves June and Lazarus. Also, she has a thing for the Decemberists, but not really any of those in any specific sense. Maybe Summer Song or The Crane Wife 3?
