Friends
I listened to Friends/20/20 this evening and then figured out the repeated banjo phrase in the coda of "Little Bird." It sounded familiar, and I discovered that - raised a half-step and with one pitch repeated - it's the same as the first vocal line in "Meant for You" (the rhythms are different, though). The banjo phrase in "Little Bird" is E F G G A G; the first vocal phrase in "Meant for You" (the lyric is "As I sit and close my eyes") is F Gb Ab Ab Ab Bb Ab. This similarity gives a bit of cohesion to the album.
