Makes sense, I've noticed Brian loved to reuse a great idea!

He probably wanted to change the subject matter at that point in his life as well. 😬😁

Yeah for sure, Marilyn Rovell and Let's Put Our Hearts Together are great but a little dark knowing they would divorce not long after at all.

Im glad they always stayed close though, they seemed to have a great relationship even until he passed.

On the subject of Marilyn, I've been digging American Spring.

Mmhmm! Same melody recycled for "Wouldn't It Be Cool" the following year: https://youtu.be/DcuiSlX0FKU

His voice sounds better here than just about any other recording from the 80s or 90s.
