LOVE SONGS OF THE UNLOVED

.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL WHO DIDN'T HAVE ONE

TORCHES ARE FOR CARRYING, SONGS ARE FOR SINGING

What Great Love Songs Cut You To The Heart?


Here are some of ours. Some are songs we heard when first we fell in love. Some are songs we turned to when we lost our love. Some are songs of bitter memory. Some are songs of undying love. Some are just for wiggling your ass to.

If you are young and in love, especially for the first time, know that this is the absolute peak of your emotional life. You will never experience such highs and such lows again. [Thank God.] Once this period in your life is over, you will feel regret and nostalgia till the day you die. Enjoy.

To Love, because, well, what else is there?
