the next song which is now...will be...

"David Dondero's "Simple Love"... Fresh off being named one of the top ten songwriters alive by NPR in 2006 sharing the list with the likes of Bob Dylan and Tom Waits and being constantly name checked by his label boss Conor Oberst as his main influence, David Dondero dropped Simple Love, a decidedly more upbeat affair than the Bukowski-esque downer SOUTH OF THE SOUTH. The songs have more fleshed out instrumentation, light rootsy arrangements, and bright tempos, which sometimes belie the dark nature of the lyrics, where battles between fleeting pleasures and lasting pains, minor victories and disastrous failures are perpetual. Another classic by a man who seemingly spits out great songs at will."

this is just a copied description of his music, i like it. the love month of Feb. is near you can tell :)

and the best definition of love that i like is, "love is a journey that knows no end" from that diamond is forever commercial :) yes indeed, love if it's true knows no end, except death of course, but some lovers love their loves even if they're dead so this argument of mine is mute :)

and i like love to be simple, funny, and uncomplicated, really. and this is a nice tune for your lady love don't you think? :> to all, no, to some of you guys out there, laughs. but really this music here is truly melodious? or rather melancholy. but isn't it these kinds of music are the ones that bores deep into our hearts and demand our ears to pay attention more? i think so.

ah music, mesmerizing music at that... is a part of my sometimes pathetic life, i must admit *}

yup, this guy is hopelessly romantic, laughs. oh well. although most of his songs is just not good, sorry, but this one is okay :) like that mcgee song of janis joplin. yes, one song, yes, one tune sometimes is all it takes for one talent to get noticed, except, elvis and michael jackson of course. the kings of rock 'n' roll and pop respectively :>
