This is to distract you from the lack of posts. I have house guests, you see. Although now that I’ve mentioned the lack of posts, that’s all you’ll think about so maybe I should mention something like peanut butter cup cheesecake to re-distract you from the lack of posting. Although I just mentioned it again so now this post is turning into a kind of verbal Escher drawing and we’re all trapped in it forever and I don’t even know how I did that.
So let’s move on, despite the impossibility of that ever really happening.
Now I hates me the cheesy YouTube videos, but I love this song. He is so damn smooth and the phrasing is gorgeous. MB and I saw him in concert several years ago at an outdoor venue and I tell you true: He sounds just as perfect in person. It was uncanny. He looks perfect and ageless and sounds perfect and ageless and he’s basically some kind of smooth-singing, guitar-strumming Dorian Gray which is the only conclusion a reasonable person can reach here.
Again, yes, moving on. Told you it was impossible.
Did you know this is Ray Charles’ favorite song? S’true.
Just listen. Smoooooth.
Like this post.
Deeelicious, just like peanut butter cup cheesecake (I imagine).
An outdoor concert version must have been enthralling. Like, I-am-just-going-to-lie-here-in-ecstasy enthralling.
