oh sweet, thank you sir 😌
2. A song you didn't expect to see in your top 10
I'm not surprised too much but it's gotta be Kurt Elling's cover of King Crimson's "Matte Kudasai". I mean, yes I did listen to it quite a bit but I didn't think I listened to it that much? It's a jazz cover--well, like a smooth jazz cover, but like, a good smooth jazz cover (His cover of Stevie Wonder's "Golden Lady" from the same album is.... less so lmao). Man's got a beautiful voice. And... I may or may not have fantasized about a certain Bruce Greenwood covering this song in the same vein. 👀👀 Because I'm unhinged.
9. Favourite lyrics of your #1 song
Oooh that's really hard because the whole song is amazing. It's "Fallen Angel" by Robbie Robertson. But I'll have to say the first two verses:
I don't believe it's all for nothing/It's not just written in the sand
Sometimes I thought you felt too much/And you crossed into the shadow land
And the river was overflown/And the sky was fiery red
You gotta play the hand that's dealt ya/That's what the old man always said
beautiful and sad, I believe this was written after a friend of his committed suicide
12. A song you feel should be higher up
I am a little surprised that Billy Joel's "Rosalinda's Eyes" isn't in my top 10. I just knew it would be because I listened to that song A LOT. It's at number 15 which isn't too bad though. The chorus(es) are my favorite part
Crazy latin dancing/Solo down in Herald Square
Oh, Havana/I've been searching for you everywhere
And though I'll never be there/I know what I would see there
I can always find my Cuban skies/In Rosalinda's eyes
Señorita, don't be lonely/I will soon be there
Oh, Havana/I've been searching for you everywhere
I've got a chance to make it/It's time for me to take it
I'll return before the fire dies/In Rosalinda's eyes
Thanks for the ask @quantim! 😊
