Cuz I Love You, by Lizzo.
Lizzo was one of the first names I wrote down on the list at the start of this project. This song or Juice, it was always going to be one or the other. A coworker turned me onto Lizzo early, like 2016, and it’s been a joy to listen to her and see her deservedly get very very very much fame. (A second runner up: Jerome, which is so much fun to sing.)

This came out… serviceable? Not bad for the second or third time I played the song all the way through? Took me a minute to realize you’re supposed to play all four chords in a row and not just three, and that messed me up most of the time.
I think the important thing, and the important thing about this project, is to just try to throw it down, and put your heart into the parts that you’re best at. If the rest isn’t perfect, so be it, but grind out the bits that make you feel something in between. I saved this song for too long, hoping to put more time into it or do it some special justice, but now that we’re running low on days in this year — and let me tell you, it has gone by many times faster than the curséd 2020 — I am in a hurry to line up the last 50 days or so and make sure I get in the remaining favorites on my list.
