In praise of men's voices

Today on my way in to Tufts, this song came on my ipod mix. There's something about the sound of men singing, right? Ben Wishaw (as Keats) and the Human Orchestra in Bright Star. Listen:

I must be getting old because I think Ben Wishaw's adorable in a want-to-take-care-of-him-and-pack-his-lunches-and-make-him-dress-warmly kind of way. A maternal crush? Is there such a thing? Please tell me I'm not alone. Behold:

See? Adorable.

Maybe I can start a little Home for Tender Undernourished Actors. HTUA.
