Why? Oh. You.

Why am I smiling? Oh. You.

Why? Oh. You. is a warm, gently playful love song about a record-store visit, an unnecessary purchase, and a very good reason to take the long way back.

He buys a record he already owns. Same singer. Same side two. Apparently, ten minutes by the door had given him plenty to think about.

“You turned the sleeve and looked at me.

I read the price like poetry.”

An ordinary Tuesday begins to feel different. A familiar song reveals a part he’s always skipped. Two people bring their own records, their own rhythm, and a little curiosity about what the other hears.

“Why does a Tuesday feel brand-new?”

There’s affection in the small things: asking when the shop closes, tapping along at the counter, discovering a reason to keep listening. A song for the person who makes you hear something new in a life you already enjoy.

Still got my rhythm.

I like yours too.
