“What’s one romantic thing you’ve always dreamed of doing?” Harry asked Y/N from his side on the couch.
“I don’t know… maybe dance in a dimly lit room with like, old songs playing in the background.” She stared up in thought. “Or kiss in the kitchen like it’s a dance floor.”
Harry chuckled at the reference of one of her favorite songs of his, his ego inflating just a little bit more. “Our kitchen has dim lights,” he looked at her.
Y/N’s face lit up. “Yes, yes it does.”
Harry stood up in front of her and offered her a hand, “May I have this dance?”
“Yes, you may,” Y/N smiled at him and fixed up her orange hoodie. “Such a gentleman,” she added, taking his hand.
Now here they were, dancing together to Nat King Cole’s 2002 remastered version of Tis Autumn, sharing a few kisses here and there. It was really all they could both ask for. Just some time together with old romantic songs and peace. Y/N made a mental note of adding this to her favorite memories together.
“Y’know it’s getting a bit hot in here,” Y/N lifted her head off of Harry’s shoulder, a thin layer of sweat coating her forehead.
“Well, that hoodie doesn’t help mid-summer does it?” Harry offered her a cocky smile.
“Mhm,” She said, paying no attention and reaching for the buttons of his gray silk shirt. Honestly, she had not a clue as to way he wore a silk shirt today, both staying home and all.
“What’re you undoing m’shirt for?”
“You’re quite hot too, I don’t want you to overheat.”
Harry chuckled at her excuse. “Thank you, darling.”
Y/N looked up as the song ended and Unforgettable started playing. “You’re welcome, Dear.” She ended with a short kiss and continued to sway to the beautiful sound of one of Nat King Cole’s many masterpieces.

Washing Machine Heart
Written By: Mitski
Artist: Mitski
Released: 2018
“Washing Machine Heart”, the twelfth track off Be the Cowboy, is sonically upbeat, but lyrically explores the “manic” nature of Mitski’s protagonist, who, in her words: “…is a person who’s in me. It’s just I’m not this person all the time. It’s this woman who feels powerless and overcompensates by exercising extreme control on herself and on her environment, and just trying to be powerful within her own limits of her body and who she is, but kind of just unraveling a little bit because the amount of control she’s exercising on to herself maybe isn’t healthy or isn’t natural. There’s something more warm and human inside that she’s pushing down in order to appear strong to the world." The heavy backbeat in the track may represent the clatter of a washing machine and how it parallels the feverish thrum of Mitski (or her protagonist)’s heart.
[Verse 1]
Toss your dirty shoes in my washing machine heart
Baby, bang it up inside
I'm not wearing my usual lipstick
I thought maybe we would kiss tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, will you kiss me already?
And toss your dirty shoes in my washing machine heart
Baby, bang it up inside
[Instrumental Chorus]
[Verse 2]
Baby, though I've closed my eyes
I know who you pretend I am
I know who you pretend I am
[Bridge]
But, do-mi-ti
Why not me? Why not me?
Do-mi-ti
Why not me? Why not me?
[Chorus]
Do-mi-ti
Why not me? Why not me?
Unforgettable
Written By: Irving Gordon
Artist: Nat King Cole
Released: 1952
Cover included: Natalie Cole, 1991
"Unforgettable" is a popular song written by Irving Gordon. The song's original working title was "Undeniable"; however, the music publishing company asked Gordon to change it to "Unforgettable". The song was published in 1951. The most popular version of the song was recorded by Nat King Cole in 1951 from his album Unforgettable (1952), with an arrangement written by Nelson Riddle. A non-orchestrated version of the song recorded in 1952 is featured as one of the seven bonus tracks on Cole's 1998 CD reissue of 1955's otherwise completely instrumental album, Penthouse Serenade. On March 30, 1961, Nat King Cole recorded the tune anew in a stereo version (with Ralph Carmichael and his Orchestra) of the Riddle arrangement, for the album The Nat King Cole Story (1961). In 1991, after Elvis Presley's musical director Joe Guercio had the idea, Cole's original 1951 recording of the song was edited and reworked to create a duet with his daughter, Natalie. The remixed version reached number 14 on the Hot 100, matching the peak position of the original version on the Billboard Best-Selling Pop Singles chart, and also number three on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart. The song also won three awards at the 34th Annual Grammy Awards (1992): Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance. Nat Cole's original recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2000.
[Chorus]
Unforgettable
That's what you are
Unforgettable
Though near or far
[Verse 1]
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before
Has someone been more…
[Chorus]
Unforgettable
In every way
And forevermore
That's how you'll stay
[Verse 2]
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am
Unforgettable, too
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Unforgettable
In every way
And forevermore
That's how you'll stay
[Verse 3]
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am
Unforgettable, too
