Still, Molina's songs wove that self-pitying sadness — songs of a man cowering under a sky he cursed, or peering into horizons that seemed empty — into expressions of bracing, strangely soothing beauty. His open, aching voice could convey overwhelming emotion with the slightest inflection; if you loved his music, you'd swear you could feel a word or phrase or hook in your blood.

"Just Be Simple"
Key Lyrics: "But I'm not looking for an easy way out / This whole life it's been about / Try and try and try / And try and try and try / To be simple again."
"I've Been Riding With A Ghost"
Key Lyrics: "See I ain't getting better / I am only getting behind / I am standing on a crossroad trying to make up my mind / I'm trying to remember how it got so late / Why every night pain comes from a different place."
