I'm Thinking Of Starting A Line Of Evil-Voodoo Greeting Cards

Every week, when I post one of these playlists, I resist the temptation to say that this one is my favorite.

...but this one is my favorite! Grin.

Being that Valentines Day is on Thursday (kidding!!!), the theme for this week's playlist is obvious. It's about love, and the journey that is love. And this week, I went a little overboard.

If you listen to only one of these songs, let it be Duncan Sheik's "For You", because that's what love is all about, in my opinion. Then again, if you're in need of a bit of angst, Ben Folds' "Song For The Dumped" is as good as it gets. Or hHead, with the fantastic lyric "Thought you said you'd die for me. Now I know you lied to me." Ha!

The entire playlist is a 360 degree view of love, beginning with being asked on a date, followed by finding love, then breaking up. Oh the bitterness! But it continues through grieving, acceptance and moving on before ending with the optimism of "I believe that my life's gonna see the love I give returned to me."

Here's this week's list:

As you can see above, the playlist is broken up into four parts: Dating, love, loss, and moving on. And each part begins with a thought from a woman named Meryn Cadell, who I think is hilarious. The title to this post is taken from "Bumble Bee". It's track 16.
