Barenaked Ladies, Am I the Only One

This is one of my favourite songs by the Barenaked Ladies. While I find a lot of their songs fall into the meaninglessness of pop music some of their songs are so chock full of meaning and emotion (mostly those written by Ed Robertson) that they make up for it all.

This song, and especially this version, show Ed's love for his brother and the pain of his loss. The guitar part is simple and the words are poignant and they add up to make a fantastic song.
