"Is It For Me?" turns up on Toad the Wet Sprocket's 1991 album Fear, and it's a quiet, searching song that asks its question and then keeps turning it over. Glen Phillips wrote the words, with the music credited to him, Todd Nichols and the band as a whole, and Gavin MacKillop took on the whole studio job himself, recording, producing and mixing it. He keeps the sound clean and close, letting the melody breathe instead of burying it under gloss, and the result is a small, rueful gem tucked inside a bigger record.
