I love this -- it sounds good in Spanish ("cuidate") too.
Maybe it's just age, but I've become fond of telling people to "be good."
It's intentionally vague -- it could just be a grammatically poor version of "be well"
Or it could be a suggestion to behave yourself (ish).
It doesn't explain itself and that's my favorite part.
"goodbye" and "farewell" started as "god be with ye" and "fare thee well" respectively and i think we gotta return to sharing explicit well-wishings before departing as opposed to just being like "later." you can even include the implied "-of yourself." less ominous than "stay safe" but with a similar posture. also a fan of "be well."

I have no idea when I started doing this, but it helps me keep track of my yapping. I’m not a big talker but once I get going I can’t stop. I feel like I’m just throwing out things and I always feel like I’m confusing people, so I throw out a little “you know?” Just to check in to see if you’re still with me. In my head it feels like I’m being courteous.

It’s just perhaps man. It beats saying “I don’t know all“ the time. It’s the fun uncle or rich aunt of “idk”. It’s not too certain while still leaving room for hope.

"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."
God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻

Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here:
https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/
The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
