Dear Paul Gross,

Please stop.

You're allowed to be pretty and smart. I'll give you that.

You're also allowed to record music that's pleasant and catchy. Got a nice tune and I can dance to it, I give it a 75.
Nice but nothing out of the ordinary.

But please don't write or (gods forbid) record any more songs that are so gorgeous and intense and breathtaking that I can feel them all the way down to the tips of my fingers.

Because it really isn't fair, all that not being able to breathe and everything.

On second thought, forget I said anything.

No, really, forget it.

Carry on.

I'll be over here in a heap on the floor next to the speaker.

Until next time, so long and thanks for all the consonants,

Me


I mean, holy shit.

I blame stormymouse for this, and I mean that in the nicest way. &hearts

Oh yeah, he has a way with ... words.

"Give the Dog a Bone," one of Gross's tunes, exemplifies the singer-songwriter's wicked sense of humor, his sly twist of plot. It also takes full advantage of the husky growl in his voice. The first time I listened to this track, a picture flew unbidden into my mind of a gorgeous-yet-clueless guy, naked on a bed in a cheap motel room, trying to figure why his "date" just walked out the door. It still makes me giggle.

I haven't listened to that one yet (probably because I don't have it loaded on my iPod. I swear I live and breathe my iPod these days).

I usually like serious songs better than humourous ones. This one? Hits all my music/poetry/country-folk/story song buttons. Songs that paint a picture suck me in every time. And I love David's harmony. Their voices really compliment each other.

But he has such a wicked sense of humor - not that I'm certain what he's singing about most of the time ... ::grins::. Oh, and I got the Shakespeare reference - yes, I did ::nods seriously::

And I like that he can order me what to do:

Oh, I'll stick it on the iPod eventually, never fear. *g*

HEE. omg, he actually ordered you to blast his music. That? Is fabulous. oh, PAUL.

[sam80853.livejournal.com]

And I'm following orders - especially this one. Naturally!

Now, see, you need to get David to sign the other side. Matched set, and all. Besides, David has a gorgeous voice, clear and almost angelic. *loves*

Don't know if you're interested, but there's a Yahoo e-mail list for David Keeley info and general fannishness:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KeeleysCherryBeach/?yguid=218117212

Every once in a while the mod will solicit questions and send them to David, and then post his replies.

He seems like a cool guy.

Yay! This is a good thing, because I'm pretty sure he actually performs regularly. He's a singer-actor rather than an actor-singer (*wishes for 1945 when Frank Sinatra proved there was no difference*), so concerts may be a possibility. In Canada, probably, but um. When have I ever been averse to going to Canada? *g*
