Yummy is pretty good, I think. I liked the ones I posted above better. But Yummy has its yummy moments. Bieber videos are fun and elaborate these days.

Number one debut. KoreaPop sensation. Pretty nice feeling, once you get past the first minute or so.

Well, this is the one that was above Yummy, but now moved here.
Forever, from Changes by Justin Bieber, ft. Post Malone, Clever

There may have been another Bieber song I liked, but it was deleted, and I don't remember it!

Christmas is coming up, and we are in a Crisis Era. This carol comes from another Crisis Era, the American Civil War, the worst military carnage in American history. It was an ugly war even if it eventually led to the emancipation of enslaved people.
I now have and obsession with another carnage, this one now in hospital wards instead of the battlefield. Instead of youth who see themselves becoming something if they survive the war and get land on the frontier or inexpensive college or subsidized home-ownership, maybe getting the opportunity to show their competence early instead of getting stuck in a dead-end minimum-wage job, this is often of people still productive, people in their peak years of earning. It is COVID-19, and it kills like a war in volume.
Few of us can enjoy Christmas as we usually do because of COVID-19. If invited to any Christmas parties I will have to pass this year. Next year -- fine.
The late Johnny Cash offers this version.

I know Justin is just a pop star, but he's pretty good for a pop star. His melodies often have content and originality.

Justin says his new song "Ghost" is written for the pandemic, and the losses and separations we are suffering.

The definitive expression of optimism in music. Written around the time of D-Day. Apologies for the dated sound:
Composer conducting.
A concise expression of what the Allies stood for in the war.

Enough pop music, time for some heroic music.
