- "Your Next Bold Move" It's almost hard to believe that this song was written during the Clinton administration, considering everything that followed 9/11.
- "Buildings and Bridges" "Buildings and Bridges" (from 1994's "Out of Range") is a song about pretty much everything. It is a sweeping observational tune about the way things are.
- "Trickle Down" Born and raised in Buffalo, New York, Ani DiFranco has written a number of tributes to her hometown. "Trickle Down," from "Up Up Up Up Up Up," is a comprehensive, earnest, poem-song about the history of the rust belt town.

- “Both Hands” Being the first song from the first recorded album—listed as having A and B-sides because it was initially released on cassette tape—this was DiFranco’s introduction to the world, and it could not be more ideal.
