The wonders of the Internet. I came across this in 2014 in some random flipbook animation video and looked it up because I liked it.

Lyrics : Only you, Only you, Only you,make my dream come true. Only you, Only you, Only you,make my dream come true. (Scatting by Scatman John) Love is not possession and it can't be possessed, If I should try to own you ,I'd be like all the rest. I've learnt from past conviction that love is not addiction, I've tried that many times and failed the test (Scatting). Baby,baby,baby,you're so good for my soul, Baby,baby,baby,I'm the one you can hold. I've simply got to tell from the bottom of my heart, The first time that I saw you I was sure right from the start. Only you, Only you, Only you,make my dream come true. Only you, Only you, Only you,make my dream come true. (Scatting by Scatman John) What you are is just enough, Don't have to be no more (Scatting). I don't care 'bout the way you wear your hair (Scatting). I don't need to mold you, I only want to hold you, Girl,so you can breath a wholesome breath of air (Scatting). Mama,mama,mama come get your baby boy, Mama,mama,mama you're my sadness and joy. Your're my life (Scatting), shining bright (Scatting), You're the beginning of the rest of my life. Only you, Only you, Only you,make my dream come true. Only you, Only you, Only you,make my dream come true. (Scatting by Scatman John) Only you can make, Only you can make, Only you can make my grey skies blue. Only you can make, Only you can make, Only you can make,my dream come true. Only you can make, Only you can make, Only you can make my grey skies blue. Only you can make, Only you can make, Only you can make,my dream come true. (Scatting by Scatman John) Only you, (Scatting by Scatman John) Only you, (Scatting by Scatman John) Make my dream come true. (Scatting by Scatman John) Enjoy ! 😁

This is actually a really well-produced, positive dance-track from the mid-90's. That John signature scatting riffs are placed strategically through make it really unique. The thick dance-beat percussion with heavy bass hitting it's notes and the piano chords belting really make this an underrated gem from the 90's. It's peppy. It's optimistic. It has a very good-natured vibe. I bought this cassette tape in 1995 because of "Scatman" that I heard on the radio and was everywhere, then was pleasantly surprised at how good the rest of the album was. Really great to jog to.

The like button decided to glitch and allowed me to press it as many times as i wanted without changing anything, so i pressed it hundreds of times to the beat. Sure, my thumb got tired, but it was all well worth it to feel just a bit closer to the legendary scatman. If i could, i would give this video (and all of his) ten quintillion likes.

I really gotta base my principles off of this absolute legend's songs

Music taste is generally less unified now, even most songs that get popular know are still only enjoyed by a select audience. Modern celebrities also live extremely superficial lives and are unable to make songs that truly connect to us. Plus, Music streaming services have also made it so it's much easier for people to find their personal music taste, but this also means that there's no longer a way for everyone to experience mainstream music anymore. All this leads to inspirational music never really getting out there because there just isn't enough people who want to listen.

There are way too many other songs by Scatman that deserve far more attention. This one included.

This is just what I need.
