Fools Rush In

So I've discovered an artist I admire that I can actually sing along with. Elvis! That's right, the King himself. The song "Fools Rush In" has been in my head of late. It's appropriate to my situation right now. Have a look-see:

Wise men say only fools rush in
but I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
some things are meant to be
take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can't help falling in love with you
for I can't help falling in love with you

Of course, then I started looking up and downloading all the Elvis songs I liked. Then I started listening. Then I started singing. While his normal range is in my upper limits, I find that when I sing higher into the tenor range than my usual baritone, I end up with a softer quality of sound. And when you're singing most Elvis love songs, isn't that what you want? Now, to serenade!
