Sometimes it's great to have reasons to like music, sometimes it's better just to like it regardless of didactic trumped up meaning. Trump up the volume knob, that's what I say, how about that. Life is better when you remember to load up your portable music device or burn discs for your car. I forget sometimes then end up stranded in traffic at the mercy of NPR. Friends, the radio will not be enough, get plenty of what you love and slather it in your ears. You must remember, it will be worth it. Is that the romantic view versus the classic view? I'm feeling very holistic right now. Must be the location of the moon in relation to the stars or maybe something in a fortune cookie stuck to my bones more than just the bland vanilla substitute. There's some fortune cookie lines in these songs I guess: "Love is stronger than pride." Or "I was made for you and there's nothing I can do about it." Or "It's so sexy to be living in America."
So, here's some love songs for the gushy heart:
Warsaw Polish Brothers - Love is Stronger Than Pride
Trampled By Turtles - Empire
Linda Rondstat - Blue Bayou
And, in honor of the bonds of brotherhood and friendship here's a couple more from a good friend:
Com Truise - Sundriped
Dom - Living In America
