February is for lovers and I am a lover!!!
Found Love - Sofya Wang
Be Sweet - Japanese Breakfast - this song belongs in the fkn Smithsonian playing from a Bluetooth speaker, perfect sparkly pop, the soaring chorus, if you don’t recognize Michelle Zauner as a music and literature and fashion icon then I do not recognize you
You Can Have It All - Yo La Tengo
Valentine - Laufey - Me, and when she says I’m only 21, I don’t even know what I want to become it’s fine for me to sing that part even though I’m 39, because spiritually, I too am only 21
Lovely You - Monster Rally
Like Someone In Love - Chet Baker - Chet Baker Sings is by far my most played album on Spotify and it often feels like my lil secret, so here
Hidden Place - Björk - to me, very Do all lovers feel they’re inventing something?
I’m Your Dog - MACKandgold - bark bark
We Might Even Be Falling in Love (Interlude) - Victoria Monét
Rambling Man - Laura Marling - let it always be known that I was who I am
In a Good Way - Faye Webster
We Belong Together - Richie Valens - so scary >:)))
Intentions - Justin Bieber, Quavo - sorry but I had a moment last month where I’d been trying to remember the chorus of this song and then I heard it in a Walgreens a couple days later while standing at a fork in my spiritual road and now I essentially believe that my guardian angels are using Justin Bieber to guide me, also I really believe in the dumb straightforwardness of pop songs, like shout out to your mom and dad for makin’ you??? right?!
(You Don’t Know) How Glad I Am - Nancy Wilson - hate to tell you this but I remembered this song while rewatching the entire series of Girls last month
Is There a Place I Can Go - Trudy and the Romance
Mystery - Raveena
pov - Ariana Grande - speaking of the nakedness of pop, I texted an Ari song for my metalhead lover to listen to in the first month we met, he said you know I like you cuz you got me listening to top 40, and he did and I did
Deeper Than Love - Colleen Green - when she said I'm shitty and I'm lame and I'm dumb and I'm a bore And once you get to know me you won't love me anymore And that possibility worries me the most Not harm or abuse or becoming a ghost It's the closeness, the intimacy I'm afraid it might kill me, I felt that
I’m Confessin’ (that I Love You) - Les Paul, Mary Ford - and yet we’re not ending on a cynical or fearful note because love is the great generator and expander and I will always always hope to let it lead
