It has nostalgia for wide variety of people for different reasons, it’s easy to sing in your range, it’s not too long, and it works as a duet.

Anything by Elvis coz I can't hit any kind of high note, and you can make any of his songs sound good with a bit of theatre. Also the moves. Also everyone will sing along.

This is the very first song Todd Rundgren ever wrote -- back in 1968 when he was in a band called the Nazz, and was originally issued as a b-side to the band's debut single, "Open My Eyes." It didn't come out in this form until his 1972 solo double-album Something/Anything? (which is a stone classic from start to finish).
Can you imagine this as the FIRST SONG YOU EVER WROTE? It'd be all downhill from there, ha.
Funny to think of a ballad about the slow breakup of a relationship as being a song that instantly makes me feel better, but the melody is evergreen and the sentiment is relatable to pretty much everyone -- "I'd never want to make you change for me." You really want the WHOLE of someone (warts and all) to be the person who is YOUR person. Maybe that's why we're still spinning this more than fifty years after it first came out.
PS: the soul singing outro (off the cuff as it is, when it dissolves) may be the best part of the song.

Flowers of Evil is part of a genre of manga/anime that they don’t export to the US much anymore. The books and the series were compelling but also uncomfortable.
Rereading this manga and it got me fked up again. Shūzō Oshimi is really good at conveying feelings of growing up, finding a sense of belonging, and what it means to be a part of society. Really suggest reading if you’re into stuff that makes you question life

A beautifully shot, acted, and written tale about people set at the end of the world, it's a limited series that offers a serene take on an apocalypse and what it means to be alive. I don't know if you'll cry, but you will definitely laugh, think, and find a bit of inner peace, if only for a moment.
