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

I have loved this song since the first time I heard it. I learned to play it on guitar literally sitting there with it on repeat trying out different fingerings until I got it right.
Allegedly, the lyrics for the song were taken from Valentine’s Day candy hearts. (This seems more like the initial idea vs. how it was actually created/executed). I feel like this song goes WAY beyond romance and into obsession territory -- Michael Stipe (singer) clearly wants to be everything to the object of his desire.
"I want the finger with the ring." Perfect.
There is a version with Thom Yorke (Radiohead) singing this with the R.E.M. "players" that is also superb: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKPg1rURPqo

I’ve seen Radiohead’s ‘All I Need’ going a bit viral lately and wanted to share this beautiful cover by one of my favourite artists, Puma Blue. There’s such an effortless almost-haunting quality to his voice. Please enjoy!
