[...] Jules Shear has been making music since 1976 and continues to release albums, albeit with no commercial success. I’ve never been a fan of “Steady” (cowritten with Cyndi Lauper) mainly because I don’t like his voice, but a lot of the songs he’s written for others are great: “All Through the Night” for Ms. Lauper, “If She Knew What She Wants” by the Bangles, and a few for ‘Til Tuesday (he was dating Aimee Mann for a while).

Now I'm finding some information about the 'Til Tuesday album “Everything's Different Now.” Is that where all of Mann's songs about Shear are contained?

Oh, and thank you for the compliment! Made my day. Now I need to find a copy of “Standing Still”!
