Day 55: February 24: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow
"Can I believe the magic of your sighs?"
I read online that John Lennon and Paul McCartney once said that they wanted to be songwriters like Gerry Goffin and Carole King. There's not much better praise than that. This may be my favorite Carole King song. Seeing her and James sing it at this stage of life gives it a different but no less poignant subtext. It's not so much an if I fall for you are you going to stick around but more of a can I still count on you after all these years. It's beautiful, heartwrenching, and genuine. James does some capable harmonies.
I didn't know that Carole wrote this one. I was tempted to post the montage from The Naked Gun where it's used for great comedic effect but it wasn't the whole song. It's a catchy tune but Peter might have benefited from an orthodontist.
