In 2020, during an email conversation with the wife, she said, “At least you’re handsome in misery.” My reply was that “handsome in misery” sounded like a song title. “She said, “Write a song then.'“
15 minutes later, I had lyrics. ( I love a good challenge )
These are the original lyrics with a couple of extremely minor tweaks, plus AI generated music.
Hope you enjoy,

HANDSOME IN MISERY ( Lyrics ) - [GUITAR AND DRUMS INTRO] [VERSE] Hold me up, hold me at bay No tomorrow after today Empty the cup, and run away Broken sorrow, gone astray [CHORUS] Hold myself for ransom Asking is this me? So pretty, so sad Handsome in misery Ye-ah! Handsome in misery [VERSE 2x] priceless art, locked in a vault fragile heart, but not my fault under attack, emotional halt open the wound, pour in the salt [CHORUS] Hold myself for ransom Asking is this me? So pretty, so sad Handsome in misery Ye-ah! handsome in misery Ye-ah! handsome in misery [GUITAR SOLO] [BRIDGE] fractured and torn weathered and worn words left unspoken I am shattered [BREAK] Dorian Gray Aged not a day with a soul broken And battered [CHORUS] I’m paying the ransom I am history So relieved, so glad Handsome in misery Whoa! Handsome in misery [CHORUS] I’m paying the ransom I am history So relieved, so glad Handsome in misery Whoa! Handsome in misery [INSTRUMENTAL] [SPOKEN] Dorian Gray Aged not a day with a soul broken And battered [FADE OUT] - JB, 05MAR2K20
