i like After You better than I Thought. but i think I Thought was a better single.

After You is a beautiful song but the structure of the song is less defined. IMO songs with more clearly defined verses and choruses tend to fare better with the general public. when being broadcast over the radio, these structured songs just work better. of course that's not an absolute or a requirement. just an observation.

That's part of the magic HDH crafted. very clear stories told through very consistent and clear song structure with catchy hooks and memorable lyrics

If you use that lens to rate these two songs, I Thought fits the mold better

But After You might be the song you picked the needle up off the vinyl and played the song again and again
