Geordie is a man from the future who studied the wrong era when coming to the past

they started recording the album 4 days before this on the 13th June 2021.
I was hoping this was going to be an inspiring video of Geordie discussing his meteoric rise to fame and wealth

Well in that case he really outdid himself because I unironically think this version wipes the floor with the Tony Bennett version
I know I'd go from rags to riches If you would only say you care And though my pocket may be empty I'd be a millionaire My clothes may still be torn and tattered But in my heart I'd be a king Your love is all that ever mattered It's everything So open your arms and you'll open the door To every treasure that I'm hopin' for Hold me and kiss me and tell me you're mine ever more Must I forever be a beggar Whose golden dreams will not come true? Or will I go from rags to riches? My fate is up to you Must I forever be a beggar Whose golden dreams will not come true? Or will I go from rags to riches? My fate is up to you Must I forever be a beggar Whose golden dreams will not come true? Or will I go from rags to riches? My fate is up to you
