- “Beauty Mark” (1998) “Beauty Mark” is a seminal work. Before this, I had written a song called “Liberty Cabbage,” the first-ever Rufus song — this lugubrious, unusual, romantic, Straussian melody coming out of a 16-year-old.
- “Foolish Love” (1998) For most people, “Foolish Love” is their first encounter with me, the first song on my first record. That slow opening section is very much a “Welcome to the world of Rufus.”
- “Baby” (1998) “Baby” is particularly dear to me. It’s the first incarnation of a style of music that sets me aside from everyone — whether it’s Randy Newman or David Bowie or Sufjan Stevens — which is my passion for opera.
- “Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk” (2001) Now we’re onto my addiction. After I made my first record in L.A. and lived in Hollywood for a while, I returned to New York.
