Youtube baffles.
Based, I guess, on the songs I select to watch and listen to on YouTube.com, they ever-so-kindly make “recommendations” for me – videos they think I will like based on things I have viewed.
I get having them suggest “La Vie en Rose” by Edith Piaff or Dido’s “Here with Me” from the Love Actually soundtrack. I am appreciative of the new Patridge Family stuff they make me aware of and am only somewhat baffled by the constant re-occurence of the Eagles’ “One of These Nights,” since I do indeed adore The Eagles (but there are other songs by them, right??).
But why on earth do they keep suggesting things like the WWE’s Smackdown Theme Song or mini episodes of “Different Strokes”? Why? Or anything having to do with Monster Trucks? That I do not get. Huh-uh. No. What the heck? That’s not me.
But, wow o wow. They suggested this and I am in love with it.
This is Corrine Bailey Rae. She is British. She is soulful. She plays a beautiful guitar. She’s Billie Holiday, but so modern. She is breezy. She is deep and she communicates the song so beautifully. Great video. Haunting melody. Loving it.
And when I told Tredessa? She reminded me that she told me I would love her about a year ago when she gave me a song for my Itunes, “Put Your Records On,” and Tredessa, as always, was so right!
