Originally by Betty Hutton. I love the story of why Bjork covered this song and included it in her second album: Her and her band discovered Betty and this song in a truck shop, and they decided that this would be their pre-game song before every show.
This is a cover of a Joni Mitchell song that I went waaaaayy too long without knowing existed. not my favorite Bjork song by far but totally beautiful to hear if you love Joni too <3<3
i became obsessed with Todd's album Healing in 2022, and the three parts of the title song especially resonated thematically with where i was at in my life that year. i wanted to make my own cover version to embody that resonance and pay homage to the original production, which IMO was incredibly ahead of its time both in vision and scope. the album pretty much foreshadowed the progression of music technology into today's environment of singer/songwriter/producers working alone with DAWs and bedroom setups, being a one man studio album for everything except mastering i think and this was 40+ years ago. i'm not a singer so i shopped the instrumental around to some folks i knew for years until i met my friend Mollie in school last semester and found out that she's actually a sick singer. the song won't be up on streaming/bandcamp until mid-march but y'all can listen with the link early since y'all are chill
being a gay boy in texas meant that life was never going to be simple. having an older sister has made life 100x better. shoutout to all the older sisters out there. yall are true soldiers and are truly the heavy lifters in the family. also shoutout to my sister for allowing me to take her car to drive our family to new mexico.
