my favourite word in songwriting history is actually exceedingly workaday, an unassuming, half-muttered "that", the second-to-last word in Leonard Cohen's Chelsea Hotel No 2: "That's all, I don't even think of you that often." Every single time I hear this line the "that" catches me, as if someone has stepped on the hem of my skirt and dragged me backwards.
