Robin Thicke - "A Beautiful World" / "The Stupid Things" [2003]

These are probably my 2 favorite songs on (Robin) Thicke's debut album (with apologies to "Brand New Jones"). FWIW, there's a piece in the score for the show "Dexter" that's eerily reminiscent of "The Stupid Things."

"A Beautiful World"

"The Stupid Things"

What does the Org think about these (IMO underrated) songs?

I love love love "The Stupid Things". To me it's the best song he's ever done.

It's certainly up there. I'd have to pick "Would That Make U Love Me" or "You're My Baby," though.

Ahhh..before he sold out and went all--well, lord knows what he morphed into. Such a shame.

I would love if he went back to something along the lines of his first album.

Yeah, I still think you need to revisit that album. It really is quite nice.

It is buried deep in the archives..............I'm sure I'll find it one of these days.
