Amen! I love both of these songs. On my casual listen to the red shoes I first
thought that Constellation of the heart was the song Prince was on. It is 
funkier than WSILY and I am in awe that Kate wrote such a tune.
Plus it features the best Kate screech *EVER*, (the 'What am I gonna do?' line
-I could have the lyric wrong). 

Also, what's the problem with WSILY? It's IMHO another great song where so 
many different elements blend in to form a unique sound. It should be one of
the future singles (again IMHO) just so that we can listen to remixes of it
(since Prince was involved there are bound to be several versions). 

Let me add another voice to the question "Who is Lily?". 

I am more excited by these fresh sounding songs than by the 'ballads' 
(MoP, ASIL, YTOIW) which are great songs, but lack the punch of the above
mentioned tunes and BSL and TRS. 

Eat the Music still sucks :(
