      random question, but since the 80s are before my time, was this genre actually called fusion jazz? It's definitely not what I think of as either jazz or fusion (which generally means prog-rock / jazz crossover these days) but maybe the term had its own meaning back then. I've only heard this kind of music called city pop, and the next closest genre I can think of would be yacht rock, or maybe lounge(?) but feel free to correct me!

      Can we talk about this man's ability to completely break down and reassemble the English language to fit his musical needs, as well? His lyrical talent really is a rare treat compared to a lot of music these days. BDG is not just a music artist, but truly an artist of music.

    Okay, the whole song is unironically amazing, but that transition into the bridge at 2:03 is incredible. The melody, harmonization, and chord selection (Bbmaj9 -> Bbm13) behind "I know you know I'll be there when you feel low" is immaculate, and the transition from the bridge into the last chorus in great too. Plus, Brian's voice fits this genre so well.. This is a legitimate bop, guys.
    I play soprano sax, if you ever want someone to record for you instead of doing it by MIDI, I'll be there for you. Okay, I live like 700 miles away from New York and have no recording equipment, so maybe not, but I'll be there in spirit.

    (haha)
    Thought I'd met all
    Of my good friends
    Even thought I couldn't tell why!
    Who would predict
    That we'd have clicked
    Without even having to try?
    I know you know
    I'd come running
    At the slightest hint you feel real blue
    Don't you dare exclude
    A brighter colour from your mood
    We'll break through!
    And be feeling brand new!
    Oh! Why not break into a breezy slide? (Breezy slide!)
    Oh! We just gotta grab the keys and ride! (Keys and ride!)
    Oh! And the chill we feel can’t be denied! (Don’t you deny!)
    Oh! Everything we do feels easy!
    Thought I’d be fine
    All by myself,
    But even I knew that was a lie.
    Still I wasn’t sure, if one pal more
    Would be the best way to simplify!
    I know you know!
    I’ll be there when you feel low!
    Take a seat my friend and check the agenda!
    First, the park, where we’ll see nice doggies!
    Then embark, and we’ll paint cute froggies!
    Finally,
    grab some tea
    by the sea!
    You and me!
    Ohh! Why not break into a breezy slide? (Breezy slide!)
    Ohh! We just gotta grab the keys and ride. (Keys and ride!)
    Ohh! And the chill we feel can’t be denied! (Don’t you deny!)
    Ohh! Everything we do feels easy!

    Dude this is my favorite song of all time. Also my favorite music video of all time. This just reminds me of my relationship with my best friend, Julian. We are extremely close friends that make things the happen way better by being around eachother. We were playing rock band and were both on vocalist. We would hold eachother up with crutches and sing about how birds and regular people are ableist for not being crippled while free bird was playing. We do so many weird and funny stuff and its awesome, and it makes life worth living. The one thing you need to be happy is a best friend.
