YouTube truly hates small, independent artists, so it’s a small act of rebellion to like and subscribe to relatively unknown creators.
And to show appreciation for jazz in 2026 is outright madness. So, go on, like it and subscribe.
Make them have to come haul you away in a straight jacket. It’ll be funny. The hospital is pretty nice. The walls are soft, they give you cookies and juice, and the meds make you feel great.
Original Lyrics
Somewhere there’s music,
How faint the tune
Somewhere there’s heaven,
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too,
‘Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there’s music,⠀
It’s where you are
Somewhere there’s heaven,⠀
How near, how far⠀
The darkest night would shine⠀
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart,
How high the moon
