Low Maintenance, High Standards

Day 1 – What Is Your Favorite Song Right Now?

Thank goodness they use the words “right” and “now” because I literally wouldn’t even try to answer an ultimatum question when it comes to music. My current obsession right now is Dress and Tie by Charlene Kaye featuring Darren Criss (2011). It’s just simply a good song, and there’s a reason I always come back to it. The melody and harmonies are so uplifting and whimsical and infectious, and her lyrics are wonderfully optimistic and real and cute. Charlene and Darren sound just heavenly together. It’s been on repeat for days.

Oh my heart’s been tried time and again 
I always thought that it was me but 
I see now just how wrong I was 
No, I haven’t known you for a lifetime 
But somehow I’ve never been more sure that you’re for me 
Baby please don’t leave
Just come and dance with me tonight 

But i’ll wear that dress if you wear the tie 
And baby, we’ll dance through the night 
‘Cause no one’s got what we’ve got going 
Happiness never held on to me until you helped me see 
That together we’re just better off
