Andy Shauf explique à propos de ces deux titres inédits : « Judy et Jeremy’s Wedding étaient des titres aberrants par rapport à la narration de l’album, ils se situent un peu en dehors de la ligne de temps, car j’essayais de tout concentrer en une seule nuit. Ils étaient également légèrement différents au niveau des arrangements, j’ai donc décidé qu’il valait mieux les sortir ensemble, en dehors de l’album ». Judy évoque des espoirs, gagner deux fois, à la loterie et au loto de la vie. Avec Jeremy’s Wedding, on fait un petit saut dans le temps, on retrouve Judy, d’autres grandes espérances et pourtant une hésitation « opiacée ». Des titres resserrés, à l’os, courts avec l’art d’Andy pour saisir en quelques mots des situations banales et poétiser le réel.

Discographie
Andy ShaufJudy and me, every week
Would buy a ticket for the Wednesday night lottery
She’d pick the numbers, I’d pick it up
Would it feel different if I was holding the winning one ?What would you buy ?
I’d buy a ticket for the Thursday night and try to win twiceJudy and me, every week
Would order doubles till the numbers were released
I wanted to pick them one week
But I swore that’d be the week that they pick her numbersWhat would you buy ?
I’d buy a ticket for the Thursday night and try to win twiceJudy and me, every time
Would get our hopes up a little too high
Judy and me would squint our eyes to read the numbers and say « Maybe next time »What would you buy ?
I’d buy a ticket for the Thursday night
What would you buy ?
I’d buy a ticket for the Thursday night and try to win twice
Andy Shauf – Jeremy’s Wedding
It was so nice
I thought the bridesmaids looked beautiful
Jeremy’s suit was a little stiff but that’s how it goes, JudyWhy didn’t you come say hello in the receiving line ?
I think he would have liked to have said hi
Oh you look so nice, JudyPart of me misses you almost all of the time
You say “Out of sight, out of mind”
Oh, I disagree JudySmoke a joint on the side stairs, it is so nice
You ask me if I wanna dance
Oh it makes me laugh, JudySkip a step
Land on your toe, you make a face
You forgot that I’m so bad at this and I’m so stoned
And it makes me laugh, is it all okay Judy ?
And it makes you laugh, is it all okay Judy ?
