A heaven of their own 😊

• those album credits on Bandcamp where it's just Joey Batey's name listed repeatedly for a ridiculous number of instruments
• the beautiful tongue-twisters in Love Run (reprise)
• his voice around 5:50 on New York Torch Song: "It starts off like a pin prick, a trick of the light oil slick"—that. was. obscene.
• the stunning simplicity of his performance in Elsa's Song
• his character work in Two Minutes. His singing is brilliant, yes. But also the acting.
• This man really just said with his whole chest, "Sex is better when you're unemployed" and refused to explain anything. Iconic.
• wearing a dress and looking absolutely fantastic in it. Case in point: THATW album photos
• "Welcome to the storm, I am thunder. Welcome to my table bring your hunger." CHILLS. The very best kind of chills.
• the instant serotonin hit of "Could be ghosts or monsters or a robot vampire, I dunno!" Incredible.
• Welly Boots and the number of times he's made me cry with it. This man is a hazard.
• That part of Farewell Wanderlust. You know the one.
• How dare you make me equate romance and tenderness with a that's what she said joke, Joey. How very dare you. The worst of his many crimes, surely.
• the exquisite menace of "No no, not I."
• burning Nicholas Sparks' entire filmography to the ground with just one (1) love song that lasts all of 6 minutes and 15 seconds
• that quiet little "I’m doing fine" that sends me wailing into the wind
• "Welcome to ruin." I would keysmash, but that's far too civilized for how that line made me feel.
• laughing at himself for making three mistakes that no one else can hear in Drinking Song for the Socially Anxious
• the powerhouse musical theater performance of Blossoms. You can hear his facial expressions. HOW.
• all of The Old Witch Sleep and the Good Man Grace. Just. All of it.
• "I will be the man my father never was." SIR.
