Most people (including me of three years ago) probably know him because of Pretty Woman and I wrongly assumed that all his other songs sounded similar. Once I heard his version of Unchained Melody and his song In Dreams I knew I had to do a deep dive. The operatic voice! The melancholy and yearning! Immediately added to my sad girl spotify 🤍

Roy himself referred to this bizarre A side as a "mini opera"-- a really wild ride both sonically and emotionally. He wrote and recorded this with a huge philharmonic orchestra right after his wife and sons died in classically tragic ways (motorcycle accident, house fire). The fact that he was certainly having some sort of emotional breakdown is pretty evident on this cut, it's awesome.

I don't know when I first heard this song, sometime in the last 3 or 4 years or so. I’m pretty sure the spotify algorithm fed it to me (ik spotify bad, but they have luckily programmed my algorithm almost perfectly..)🫣 I instantly fell in love. I had no idea who Margo Guryan was, but I loved her voice and the simplicity of the song.🕊️ I would listen to it over and over and over again on my drives home from my 9-5 office job. I was living in Richmond, VA at the time and was the most depressed I had been in my whole life. Almost every drive home from work I would cry, except the days when I turned on Why Do I Cry lol. I remember driving home and it was drizzling a bit, i sang along, (im a horrible singer) i would sing a harmony ina lower key and i thought it sounded pretty good (maybe one day i can cover this and sing with someone) a lot of the times when i listen to music i imagine a “music video” in my mind. She sings about only getting to spend one day a week with her lover. I visualized this fictional couple in my head laughing and loving and dancing around an apartment. I could go more in depth, but I'm not very good at expressing my ideas in a way that makes sense lol anyways so so beautiful…❣️🌧️💙😸I will write about Margo’s life eventually, but for no,w here are my thoughts #badasss 🤩🌼

why do we have so much stuff, why is it so hard to clean all this stuff, why are we so excited to get new stuff, and why does stuff say so much about who we are

I was just thinking of this recently, of how oversaturated the internet feels. There’s too many platforms, content, and ads being shoved down our throats. I don’t know where the internet is headed but I feel like there is a growing general sentiment of fatigue.We’re also discovering ways to combat this fatigue, like lessening our screentime or simplifying our use of the internet (like this platform.) I would love to see this general sentiment dictate where the internet goes instead of the internet telling us what to consume.

I suddenly thought of this movie because Brazil (the song) started playing. I wouldn’t even know how to begin describing this and anyway it’s better to jump in without knowing too much about it, which is exactly how I watched this.
