Asking a music question.

So I am considering—not yet wedded to, but considering—re-releasing Stars Fall Home, since it's currently all out of print and stuff, and that's no fun. But being me, I'm not willing to do this if I don't feel that I am in some way improving things with a re-release. This means a) that I will probably re-record "Sycamore Tree," to resolve some issues I have with the vocals, and b) include at least one new song, for the sake of, you know, making my lizard brain not freak out about spending time on something I've already done.

This is the link to my songbook. Yes, this link, right here.

If I were to record one song that had not previously been recorded, what would you want it to be? Defend your choice! With two caveats:

* No parodies.
* Nothing mad science or horror. That will eventually be a second theme album.

Tell me what to do!

Wild and Lawless, Tribal Secrets, and Enchanting Song. Mostly for the entirely selfish reason of me wanting to sing them and my brain being unable decide on a tune without hearing it first. But also:

Wild and Lawless because it makes me want to get up and dance in joyful and slightly drunk revelry. I think we all need to take a trip to goblin town once in a while!

Tribal Secrets because it strikes a chord of belonging and general rightness in me. There are several parts in the song where I just stop and go "This is exactly right."

Enchanting Song because it makes me want to run until I can't anymore, until I've reached the end of the road and another one appears.

Course, I've no idea if these mesh well with the rest of the album, but they're my favorites, so I'll throw them out there anyway.
Thanks for the suggestions!
