[color=#663366]"They Say It's Wonderful" - Johnny Hartman & John Coltrane
To start: I had my headphones on at work and decided to put this song on and choked up at my desk. I have been thinking a lot about what meaning a romantic relationship really carries when everything today is about self-centered transactions and narcissism. Many of Hartman's ballads explore a reaction to the fact that the romantic ideal is often unfulfilled or distorted and this one hit me really hard today.
