about

as you may have been able to gather by my song descriptions, i was a bit of a relationship addict in high school. ok and forever after that as well. i was starting to get sick of writing about it, and starting to realize i didn't have any better song writing role models since i was only exposed to the radio.
good thing i discovered ani difranco

lyrics

Dear Love

Love / What a funny thing / Taking over radios

What is it about it that is so powerful?

Could it be the product of a lazy society?

Or is it truly what can only complete me?

My muscles can move mountains / If I exercise them and keep them strong

And the most important muscle, seems to be mythic in people

It’s the one that pumps my own freedom

Why am I dazing out when I kiss you sometimes?

Yeah, baby I sure love you, but you’re never the only thing on my mind

{No, I did not go out searching}x2 for it in pretty places

No I did not check for prices, or accept abusive vices, or recommend expensive taste

Cuz I found I’m the most free when I’m alone, playing

And I hope that all the mothers, who’ve defined themselves by their lovers

Teach their children to write their own dictionaries

(Chorus):

All you ladies and men who see infinity in them

You’re all being silly, or maybe it’s just me / Just me

When I tune in to every frequency / You, Love are the main theme

Why don’t we sing about anything else in the mainstream?

Where’s all the empowerment to improve philosophy?

Look into the clichés and learn how to be all you can be

There’s one step further to go / Don’t look to be whole in somebody else

When you’ve got in under control you’ll know that

Lovely love songs aren’t on top of the poll but they’re close / they’re close

(Chorus)

So bottom line, I want to be independent, especially when you attack me

And I can’t help but write about you, love / No, I can’t help but write about you, love

Nobody can help but write about you, Love

What a funny thing / Taking over radios / What a funny thing / Love
