This one goes out to the one I love…
February 14, 2007
This mix goes out to an audience of one, and you know who you are (hint: that’s your picture up there). These are songs that we’ve shared over the past two years, two months, and four days, that I know you love, and many of them also explain things about why I love you (that’s why I’m picking out one lyric from each song to help share my thoughts).
To those not named Celeste Gleason: feel free to download this mix and incorporate these songs into your own Valentine’s Day Mixes. My girlfriend has fantastic taste in music and most of these songs rank among my favorites as well.
MP3 Rosie Thomas – The One I Love
“This one goes out to the one I love…”
MP3 Sleeping At Last – Umbrellas
“I’ll prove my love if you would let me.
Over and over and over again.
We’ll bring a child into this world
And we’ll say the one thing
Everyone should hear:
You were meant for amazing things.”
“From the inside out
you’re so beautiful
i want to hold you in my hand”
” I just know that she warms my heart
And knows what all my imperfections are”
“Always Love… Hate will get you every time
Always Love… Even when you want to fight”
MP3 Mates of State – Like U Crazy
“I, I, I, Like U Crazy…”
MP3 The Pipettes – Pull Shapes
“dance with me and we’ll be alright”
MP3 Of Montreal – Disconnect the Dots
” It’s so beautiful
Our lunacy
It’s so beautiful”
“their hearts held a thousand stars
trembling in her small town yard ”
MP3 Belle & Sebastian – Funny Little Frog
“Honey lovin you is the greatest thing
I get to be myself and I get to sing”
“and we will become a happy ending…”
MP3 Andrew Bird – Tables and Chairs
“I know we’re going to meet some day
in the crumbled financial institutions of this land
there will be tables and chairs
there’ll be pony rides and dancing bears
there’ll even be a band”
MP3 The Decemberists – We Both Go Down Together
“and oh, my love, my love
we both go down together”
MP3 Sufjan Stevens – The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is out to Get Us!
“I can’t explain the state that I’m in
The state of my heart…”
Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day, Celeste, and I’ll see you tonight!

She’s beautiful.
But I have to laugh at the REM cover… Michael Stipe has always said in interviews how amused he is by people who dedicate that songs to their significant others… “just a simple prop to occupy my time”

Excellent post! There are some tunes here I’ve never heard, so I’ll get on that for sure!
Are you going to be attending any one of the Headlights/Page France shows? Or how about Decemberists/My Brightest Diamond? Or Andrew Bird?
I can’t wait until March when those shows start rollin’ our way!
Later!

Nice list. Not sure though about the Decemberists selection. Great song, but it’s about double suicide – a little heavy for this list don’t you think?

Well I think it’s a perfect list. Thank you very much, Taylor!

I think what you’ve done here is truly magnificent. I’ve been really proud of some old C90s (youngsters can google if they don’t understand) that I’ve made as tokens of affection. But whether I would ever have the nerve to share them with the world…..I really don’t know.
She’s a lucky gal…..and I guess you’re every bit the lucky lad.
So here’s to your continued love, health and happiness.
