Radox is still a thing, although their fragrances have moved on from blue bottle, green bottle, red bottle - ha ha! I intend to have a bath after work, so I will indulge in the list at the same time. Thank you.

Thanks for responding, I have loved your work for years - would never in a million years have guessed I'd end up interacting with you about bubble bath though!

May I complain, Nick? Actually, I want to ask: why didn't you choose Harry Nilson's version of Everybody's Talkin'? That one is just perfect.

Hm....I've just played the entire song and I think I see (hear) what you're talking about. That rasp in her voice.... They kept the original atmosphere. Thank you.

For All We Know, one of the most beautiful short songs ever, up there with God Only Knows. It was used in the wedding montage in the movie Lovers and Other Strangers, which I saw at age 10 and didn’t understand much of, as it dealt with adultery and sex.

A humble suggestion: Holly Williams' "Without You." Not sure how chill it is, but it sure is a pretty and affecting tune.

Jeez... you included a track by Harold Land - and I spent a good thirty minutes trying to figure out why "Harold Land" rang a bell. I eventually remembered that it was a track on the first album by Yes. As far as I can tell, it isn't about "your Harold Land". But who knows!

And... enjoyed the playlist. Thank you.
