Every Valentine’s Day I ask everyone who follows me on Instagram their fave long song. Mine, for the record, is If I Were A Carpenter, the Four Tops version though Bob Dylan has a great cover with The Band. Recently I’ve been obsessed with Just Drifting by Psychic TV and think it’s one of the most romantic songs I’ve ever heard. Here is the responses I‘ve got: I Love You Honeybear - Father John Misty
Just The Way You Are - Billy Joel
This Guy‘s In Love With You - Faith No More
Danger High Voltage - Electric Six
Do You Realize - Flaming Lips
Yard Of Blonde Girls - Inger Lorre
Dolls In The Dark - Drab Majesty
Surrender - Suicide
Laid - James
Love Song - The Cure
Our Way To Fall - Yo La Tengo
Maps - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Leaving anonymous love letters, made up missed connections, public service announcements and more around parks, malls, etc etc. On paper stapled to something is preferable. Your community is dying and you can save it with a pencil and paper. Or ink and a printer, if you're technically inclined.
