Riff: John Legend – “The Beginning”

Jun 24, 2013

Soon as I saw you, baby, I had plans/Planned to take you to my elevator/And cook a little breakfast later

from The Beginning lyrics by John Legend

Wanting to bring another Legend into the world, John continues to show up every commitment-phobe out there by asking his girlfriend to start thinking of baby names on a piano-led mid-tempo made all the more sentimental by the sample of Sara Bareilles‘ “Winter Song;” [LISTEN].
