I believe you heard (or at least read) a piece I wrote on Medium to honor Halloween, featuring songs about the devil. Have you not heard "Devil Woman"? In my house growing up was bigger than "We Don't Talk Anymore."

I've heard "Devil Woman," certainly. But, like most radio hits, it wore out its welcome by the 83,847,694,887,736th play. But, with "Once in a While," say, I came to love it without radio's help (or without its need to make me sick of it by driving it into the ground).

But, what helped attach it to me (my ears and heart) was that I was facing a relationship that appeared to be on the verge of ending, and its lyrics spoke to me in that way, as well, much like the melody and arrangement spoke to my sensibilities.

I've got your Medium article open in a window to eagerly read later, Steve....gotta put it on "pause," though..........Astros are on!😁

I stand corrected! I also never realized that was him singing it.
