Reductio ad absurdum

Well, it seems Songblague has been inscribed in the Book of Life. And not just because your humble host is still breathing. As chance would have it, this is post #366. The actual one year anniversary was in early March, but I was a slack mf-er and went on vacation. So, putting calendar markers aside, let's say this marks an occasion.

Segueing out of Yom Kippur, here's one that's fully secular, but — as conflicted love songs go — has a sensibility that's 100% Jewish. The outro feels like an incantation, and before that, a peculiar laundry list of love's unpolished elements. Who would have thought
Mr. Bongwater had this tender side?

  1. Holy crap, it was Yom Kippur and I missed it. Well, happy anniversary, sir. I love this song.
