Happy Valentines to you from Luis Gonzalez
Here is one of my favorite songs I have on vinyl having to do with relationships. Conor Oberst is someone you listen to for lyrics. This song is part two of two relationship songs concerning man and wife.
Alright, so it’s not the happiest relationship song. How about this song, also by Conor Oberst, about a girl flying to meet her fiance?
Okay, so her plane crashes. At least she was comforted before her death, right?
How about a song by his band, BrightEyes, about a one night stand?
So a one night stand addled with drugs is not your thing?
How about a song about the day you met the person you fell in love with?
Valentines Day isn’t always about love. But nothing is greater than the pursuit of it. Here’s to finding it.
