i'm on my knees in front of him but he doesn't seem to see

I have way too much music in my iTunes library.

No, seriously. This is legit out of control at this point.

(I really need to do a proper cull and get rid of the stuff I don't listen to, but the idea of going album-by-album through 150GB of music to decide what to keep and what to toss is daunting.)

005. "Does Anybody Love You", Boy Meets Boy

The fifth song in my cast album blogging marathon: "Does Anybody Love You", from the 1975 Off-Broadway musical Boy Meets Boy, as sung by David Gallegly.

So please say does anybody love you?
For if by some lucky chance the answer is no
And you haven't anyone to love you
Then do you mind if I do?
Because I love you so ...

Confession: I know nothing about this show beyond the cast recording and this plot synopsis. It was before my time and I've never managed to find out more about it. And yet I love it.

You can call me flaky now.

"Does Anybody Love You" is sung by Guy Rose about Casey O'Brien, his love interest. Is it sung to his love interest? I haven't a clue. Could be, or it could be a moment in Guy's head. I wish I knew more about this show ...

In any case, it's a lovely song. Quiet and wistful and romantic, with simple but beautiful lyrics.

Too shy to say it to myself
How can I say it to you?
But suddenly that's just what I've got to do
