Published on 11/14/2024
"The Good Life" is a song written by Sacha Distel with lyrics by Jack Reardon. Although many singers have recorded it, the most famous version might have been Tony Bennett's from 1963. As I was singing the song today, it occurred to me that the lyrics could inspire a survey.

And the final line of the first verse: "So please, be honest with yourself, don't try to fake romance". In a romantic relationship, are you self-aware and honest with yourself . . . or are you self-deceptive?
