not only is this my favorite love song (and one of my favorite songs to ever exist), but i feel like it depicts how love tends to find me/how i find it, see it, feel it, etc. the song is about literally meeting your soulmate in the parking lot of a grocery store. it envisions the future of the couple, and then returns to their initial meeting. firstly, i’m sort of a sucker for coincidental meetings - partially because i’ve met some of my very best friends this way. also, i am so quick to romanticize a person after meeting them for the first time (much like fjm imagining buying a mansion and having 7 daughters with this woman). in the song, this love seems all consuming, and i can relate to that as well (“if this isn’t true love, someone oughta put me in a home“). i’m a very sentimental and mushy person, and i tend to hold the people that i met completely by chance even closer. i don’t love people in rational amounts; life is too short for that. anyways, i just really love this song, and i think it is probably one of the most pure love songs of the 21st century.

This is so awesome and I agree. In this world we have to control and plan everything and life is rarely surprising except that the most AMAZING things happen when you never even thought to plan them!!

maybe the most perfect corny love song ever written. if you tell me that guitar solo doesn’t do something to you when you hear it you’re lying. straight from the heart and so saccharine it could kill you. be careful, excessive listening to Red Rose Speedway may cause the following side effects: pining, grooving, daydreaming, and toe-tapping.

this is what it feels like to be in love and to be so naive and so immersed in him. And also horses are the best and every song mentioning one.

I love this song so much, the lyrics go so many different places and cover old songs for like 10 seconds each before moving to another. Fun stuff.
