So sayeth Paul McCartney. If you know the song, you know that Paul goes on to say there’s nothing wrong with that, and he sings yet another love song.

And it’s funny how lately I find myself becoming a big fan of love songs. Well, it’s not really, funny. It’s ironic. I stopped using AIM because everybody’s profiles were so full of lovey dovey smarmy ooey gooey fuzzley things that it made me want to hurl. It still sort of makes me queasy and I continue to avoid AIM, but I often felt myself getting the same inclination to vomit when love songs came on the radio. It pissed me off, how everyone seemed to think they had this wonderful thing, when I knew (yeah I thought I was the only person truly in the know about love) that things never really happened like that. You never feel that strongly about a person, and even if you do, it’ll only turn right around and bite you in the ass as soon as you let your guard down.
Or else I’d hear a love song, think of all my “failures” in relationships and just cry.

Now, I find myself buying CDs that would typically never grace my Case Logic CD Visor. Lyrics magically catch my ear and make me think, “That’s exactly how I feel! Amazing!” And then I download it or get the CD and make my report to CB that I’ve found another good one (we both have this penchant for enjoying heart wrenchingly sad songs, i.e. Ben Harper’s “Another Lonely Day,” Damian Rice’s “9 Crimes,” Counting Crows’ “Long December” so I’ve been on a mission to find some more positively associable tunes for us).

Alicia Keys “No One”
Paul McCartney “Calico Skies”

” Love doesn’t come in a minute,
sometimes it doesn’t come at all
I only know that when I’m in it
It isn’t silly, no, it isn’t silly, love isn’t silly at all.”
-Paul McCartney
