- ‘Secret Heart’ from ‘Ron Sexsmith’ (1995) Perhaps his best-known song, and covered by artists ranging from Feist to Rod Stewart, Raol Malo to Curtis Stigers, ‘Secret Heart’is a perfect song, with beautifully crafted lyrics, and Sexsmith’s characteristic emotional vocal, over a simple arrangement with guitar, bass, keys and gentle percussion, saying all a songwriter needs to on the fear of rejection, in barely three minutes, with not a wasted word.
- ‘Tomorrow in Her Eyes’ from ‘Retriever’ ( 2004) An achingly beautiful ballad, building from simple piano to strings and percussion, all in less than 2 minutes 30.
- ‘Riverbed‘ from ‘Whereabouts’ (1999) My second choice from this album ‘Riverbed’has a gloriously languorous feel, with subtle banjo low down in the mix, and the most beautiful reverb-drenched violin instrumental, matching the poetry of his lyrics “Riverbed, I’ll lay my head upon your pillow /And watch the waves go flowing by /Riverbed, underneath the weeping willow /I’ll sleep until the sunlight fills the sky”.
- ‘Gold in Them Hills’ from ‘Cobblestone Runway’ (2002) Another charming melodic hook, on piano, introduces us to a finely crafted lyric on the theme of ‘life’s tough, but it will get better’.
