Erasure — Always
I don’t know why I keep fighting the urge to post this track whenever I feel it.
(I also don’t know why I keep fighting the urge to inform you that this will be played during at least three of my own wedding ceremonies over the course of my life.)
I love how music keeps us all connected in small ways. I was in Bath and Bodyworks yesterday, and nearly dropped my goodie bag when I heard “Give a Little Respect” over the store PA. I love “Always”, and I enjoy the creative genius behind Erasure. Good ear, my friend, good ear =)
