Elvira would ask if I maybe need to open more tabs and windows. She's got the sarcasm gene from her father's side of the family.
So that I might get to bed before 4:00 am, tonight I'm going to share with you the perfect song. Not just a great song. The perfect song. Lyrics .... piano accompaniment .... tempo .... her voice ... the story. Perfect. And unfortunately a song that hits pretty close to home.
I heard this on the radio one rainy night as I was driving to meet Smooth Jazz for a late dinner. I drove a little slower just so I wouldn't arrive while she was still singing. And I drove a little slower just in case I couldn't resist the urge to close my eyes and just listen .... I might have driven all night through the rainy city if it hadn't ended.
So, please just close your eyes and listen. No reading. Just listening to the perfect song, "Lies of Handsome Men," sung by Sara Gazarek accompanied by Josh Nelson. The only thing missing is the sound of the rain.
What's your perfect song? Why do you love it?
