History[]
On May 15th, 2014, Soulseek and SoundCloud user slundeen bought a mysterious cassette tape at a thrift shop and posted its audio to SoundCloud.
On September 18th, 2021, Mei Clover uploaded the song to YouTube, saying:
"Found at a thrift store by Soundcloud user Slundeen.
This is a slightly eerie, slightly sorrowful, completely compelling cover of the song I Wanna Be Around... Popularised by the likes of Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin and more."
Presumed Lyrics[]
Now I wanna be around to pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks your heart
Some somebody's twice as smart as I
A somebody who will swear to be true
As you used to do with me
Who'll leave you to learn
That mis'ry loves company, wait and see
Now I wanna be around to see how he doesn't
When he breaks your heart to pieces
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine
And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet
As I sit there applaudin' from a front-row seat
When somebody breaks your heart
Like you, like you broke mine
