playing it and singing it as well as the descending RH interpolation line over “I own one..” takes a while to get under voice and hand. in fact the entire song with it’s running 3rd’s is quite tricky to sing over as most pianists voice train melody using their right hand which along w the left side of brain is tied to language and speech. of course any and all new neural pathways can be forged, but such is the genius of the writer found in deceivingly simple melodie’s and harmonic progressions. Also it may possibly be a modified Rondo form wise? I had learned this song many moons ago and am going to make time to revisit it as much of RW’s prolific writing is also inspirational to me as well. Thank You Rufus !! ✨💜✨ you’ve helped heal my broken heart fam especially April Fool’s and Vibrate as I have this incling that we both have walked the path of man in one way or another…# small world huh
LyricsThere I was in uniform Looking at the art teacher I was just a girl then; Never have I loved since then He was not that much older than I was He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum He asked us what our favorite work of art was, But never could I tell it was him Oh, I wish I could tell him -- Oh, I wish I could have told him I looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts I liked the John Singer Sargents He told me he liked Turner Never have I turned since then No, never have I turned to any other man All this having been said, I married an executive company head All this having been done, a Turner - I own one Here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing, Thinking of the art teacher I was just a girl then; Never have I loved since then No, never have I loved any other man
He was not that much younger than I was, he had taken me to the beach... he asked me what my favorite work of art was.... I wish I could tell him.....I wish I could have told him.
I discovered this on Spotify. At first i thought its sung by a woman with a smoky dark Voice. Especially because of the line "I was just a girl then". So im suprised now, but not in a negative way 🤗
This is so beautifull and highly complex song on the all levels that you can easly call it ... art!
I'd say basic but I still can't play it, lol.
@@thebuenomonano9053 I'd agree with you

Rufus is a beautifully talented human being 😍
I agree with you
LyricsThere I was in uniform
Looking at the art teacher
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then
He was not that much older than I was
He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum
He asked us what our favorite work of art was,
But never could I tell it was him
Oh, I wish I could tell him --
Oh, I wish I could have told him
I looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts
I liked the John Singer Sargents
He told me he liked Turner
Never have I turned since then
No, never have I turned to any other man
All this having been said,
I married an executive company head
All this having been done, a Turner - I own one
Here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing,
Thinking of the art teacher
I was just a girl then;
Never have I loved since then
No, never have I loved any other man
He was not that much younger than I was, he had taken me to the beach... he asked me what my favorite work of art was.... I wish I could tell him.....I wish I could have told him.
hes so beautiful
