I’ve been seeing a lot of Valentine’s Day playlists around
the interwebs these last few days. They’re all very nice. But if I might speak
freely for just a minute, most of these lists are pretty one-sided. You know,
songs to listen to while you canoodle with your dearest.
But there are SO many love songs out there, and the great
majority of them aren’t that happy at all. Love can take all sorts of
incarnations. And on this day that’s all about Love, I think we should take
some time to recognize it in all its strange, thrilling, and very often painful
forms. Here we go.
Love when you’re distraught
over a break-up
“Song for the Dumped” – Ben Folds Five

How could you do this
to me?! love

In love with a manic
pixie dream girl

What's our relationship status? love
