day 188: Just The Two Of Us

Just The Two Of Us, by Grover Washington, Jr.*

*and Bill Withers! Hard to know who to credit on this song, which I did not ever understand was put out by the saxophonist — this is Puro Love 94 material right here — on a 1980 album, rather than something from Mr. Withers himself.

Sometimes, I just crack open the “Top 100” on the site/app where I look up guitar chords for these songs, and see what’s popular with the kids these days. Inevitably, it’s 1) Current pop songs I’ve never heard, 2) Current pop songs by artists I have heard, like Olivia Rodrigo this week, 3) Can’t Help Falling In Love, always in the top three songs, 4) Classic Rock, 5) Creep, 6) Other assorted love songs, like this one.

I don’t want to talk about the saxophone run, or the weird bridge chords underneath it. I’m not sure F13 exists, and you can’t prove it does. What the heck is a 13th, anyway? Probably not real, unless that chord was invented during a union strike. (This is a wildly obscure joke about my college dorm.)
