i do think Lovely Day is a lovely little feel good song, but what’s more important is Bill Withers was allowed to do whatever the fuck he wanted after delivering one of the most utterly heart wrenching break-up songs of all time on his goddamn debut album. this isn’t even a single or a hit or anything. it’s just side B track one on Just As I Am and if you wanna talk about being uncomfortable as Bill fucking Withers holds a note, listen to the way he sings the word “gone” on this absolute killer of a song.

“in this essay I will-”

• overused and becoming outdated
• does not reference the hit Oasis song.
• invites people to use the “where’s the essay, OP?” response. essays are long and tedious and would often just be repeating what you made clear in the original post

“anyway here’s wonderwall.”

• charmingly retro
• references the hit Oasis song
• most people do not want to hear the overplayed song, but on the rare occasion that someone does ask for wonderwall, you can easily respond with this:

for those of you who haven’t heard me go on about this song:

“you just had to paint the front porch ceiling turquoise / you said, "that’s the way we do it in the South” / you claimed it keeps out all the evil spirits / sometimes I can’t believe the words comin’ out your mouth.“

wait actually flexing on the zoomers by dropping THIS onto the playlist:

no really I’m fucking obsessed with this song.
