Even though You’d Be So Nice To Come Home To by Marisa Anderson & Tara Jane O’Neil was released back in 2020, it’s this week’s pick because I can’t stop listening.
Cole Porter and Gene Clark are among my favorite songsmiths and rendering their music during that warm midwinter of wildfires and aftermaths was perfect. Marisa and i have had an adventurous collaborative friendship, playing sonics and playing standards. The songs on this 7 inch are a cool continuation of our shared journey. – tjo
You’d be hard pressed to find a more soothing 9 minutes and I’m a sucker for a Cole Porter cover.
You’d be so nice to come home to
You’d be so nice by the fire
While the breeze on high sang a lullaby
You’d be all that I could desire
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning above
You’d be so nice, you would be paradise
To come home to and love
You’d be so nice to come home to
You’d be awful nice by the fire
While the breeze up on high sang a lullaby
You’d be all that I could desire
Under stars chilled by the winter
Under an August moon burning up there above
You’d be so nice, just like paradise
To come home to and love
