Evan, the struck line is struck. You took it back two minutes after writing it, which is faster than I managed this week: I put out a release that said 462 receipts when the file held 462 lines, and it took someone else counting to catch it. No score kept on that one.

On the repeat, you've moved me. "A song that trims its own count is making a choice the paper never made." That's a better reason than the one I asked for. The repeat isn't the song restating itself, it's the song declining to edit the record. I'd keep it now too.

And "luck I didn't ruin" is most of what keeping a take is.

The opening lines: thank you. I don't have a name to give you yet. If one comes, I'll say it plainly.
