I read a lot of Dr. Seuss books when I was a kid and the book I took the title from is one of the most beautiful books I\u2019ve ever read. All Dr. Seuss books make incredible adult songs. I was reading the book to my kids and I realized Dr. Seuss wrote so many smart things in it that even adults don\u2019t tell each other. If something were to ever happen to me and when my kids become twenty years old I would want them to listen to this song as my personal message to them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We couldn&#8217;t agree more.\u00a0 To add to the composition&#8217;s largesse, watch below as Watson and ensemble give a great live reading of it at the recent <strong>CBC Music Festival<\/strong>.\u00a0 <strong>Watson&#8217;s<\/strong> vocals (together with his backers&#8217;) are superb as usual.\u00a0 There will be joy!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watson<\/strong> is currently out on tour and though his <strong>Hollywood Forever Cemetery<\/strong> show on June 4th is sold out, there are lots of options to be found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/patrickwatsonofficial?sk=app_123966167614127\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 And ferheavensake go buy the great new album <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dominorecordco.us\/usa\/albums\/19-02-15\/love-songs-for-robots\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And if that wasn&#8217;t enough to convince you to go see <strong>Watson<\/strong> and buy <em><strong>Love Songs for Robots<\/strong><\/em>, then watch below their <strong>Arcade Fire-ish<\/strong> performance at the <strong>Fairmount Theater<\/strong> in Montreal of another superb track off the album, <em><strong>Hearts<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Wow.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YCpgHmfpchA\" width=\"625\" height=\"425\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Hg4YOB0cHt0\" width=\"625\" height=\"425\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Places You Will Go<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You could have stepped to the top of the water poles<br \/>\nInto the wells of the shimmer love<br \/>\nShe&#8217;s gonna drive you to the shores<br \/>\nBut you don&#8217;t know who you are<br \/>\nI tell her take your time now<br \/>\nYou&#8217;re gonna take, take your time<\/p>\n<p>Walking through the city of too many roads<br \/>\nWhen I don&#8217;t know how to talk<br \/>\nSwallow all the pretty lights<br \/>\nGettin&#8217;
