To me this is more about looking for a love song than it is any kind of actual love song. Looking for a love song in the sense of thinking that if only I could find “(she’s) the one” my happiness would be assured, like all those movie characters and all those people in all those love songs. I see that as a sad but beautiful (not dark and scary) romanticized distraction from what love really is. A simple force of nature (the fifth element if you will) that we (most of us, on some level) recognize as essential but that we can no longer tap into the source of (again most of us, and no it’s not a god). So we look to get it from other people, like a diabetic who’s body can no longer make insulin has to get it from a syringe.

Just some thoughts – I reserve the right to be wrong.

Your reservation be granted - although I can’t see how you can be wrong on this. Looking For A Love Song indeed is a beautifully sad, aware and mindful creation about a longing for completion outside of one self. Love, and/or experienced love however might be something completely different… Anyway, for about almost many of us it’s this constant Looking For A Love Song that has to serve as the infrastructure within we hope to connect a nature with a culture - we simply long - and that’s our nature/culture.

In other words: that’s why I so much like the ccMixter environment - it’s a free free sharing and participation infrastructure in which you can Look For A Love Song and you might even get one back. As I stated before: Looking For A Love Song is exactly what I was asking for - and I’m truly amazed by it!

Thank you again, dear friend!
