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.

Sometimes you can just exist. you don’t (hopefully) need 50 hustles. You don’t need to be a writer and musician and artist and podcaster and influencer and girlboss or whatever. you don’t even need to signal how cool or smart or attractive you are. I know it’s hard cause I think our society incentives (forces?) people to be “on” all the time, but it’s probably better for your own sake to just exist for yourself and your love ones and to adjust your expectations of what a successful or meaningful life is.
Sorry for being pedantic, just know a lot of friends and family my age or younger that seem to be struggling right now in all sorts of ways. Just know, regardless of what anyone says or even what you say or do, that you guys have inherent dignity and you are worth something
