Speaking of familial and platonic love, one of my favorite hobbies is rewriting romantic love songs to be as familial/platonic as possible without any creepy undertones.

When The Goo Goo Dolls said “I’d give up forever to touch you,” “you’re the closest to heaven that I’ll ever be” and when Hozier said “the only heaven I’ll be sent to is when I’m alone with you” and when Taylor Swift said “I would fall from grace just to touch your face” and when Hozier said “if I could hold you for a minute, I’d go through it again,” “I would not change it each time, heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I” and when Hozier said “I slithered here from Eden just to sit outside your door” and when George Ezra said “is the grass of Eden overrated? No one else is such a beautiful dream to me” and when Big Thief said “no love is like this, no sacrifices” and when Jeff Buckley said “my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder,” “all my riches for her smile,” “all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter” and when Johnny Cash said “you can have it all, my empire of dirt”

"If you go away on this summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in a summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long
And the moon stood still for the nightbird's song
If you go away
Ne me quitte pas"
If You Go Away (Ne Me Quittes Pas), Rod McKuen

I can't be expected to be normal after hearing the words:
" 'I've seen enough,' he says, 'I know exactly what I want
And it's this life that we've created
Inundated with the fated thought of you
And if you asked me to, if you asked me, I would lose it all
Like petals in a storm
'Cause, darling, I was born to press my head between your shoulder blades, at night when light is fading
Just to let you know, I'm old, waylaid and feels like I am wading
Into carpet burns and carousels
Christ, you'll be the death of me' "
Like??? How am I supposed to exist after this ripped open my ribs and played them like a xylophone

Elvis Top Three - “Love” Songs
It’s been a minute since my last top three question, and with Valentine’s Day fast approaching (I’ll be celebrating with my beautiful man pictured above lol), I decided to go with your top three Elvis songs that have the word “love” in the title! Let’s hear it! ❤️
It’s Only Love – I’ve just been on a kick with this one lately. I absolutely love the way he delivers the line “I’ll take my heart and my pride and just throw it aside.” I can’t explain it, but I could just listen to that over and over again.
https://youtu.be/zLpHl_326ps?si=iku2SIg_9QJmW5ot
Without Love (There is Nothing) – This is one of my all-time favorites. His performance is so heart-felt, it just melts me into a puddle. “I had conquered the world, but what then did I have? Without love I had nothing at all.” I have to imagine that in his lonely moments this rang very true.
https://youtu.be/2cOhnhUTZwE?si=7JUNflHAhsBDDk-h
Love Me – This is classic for a reason. I love probably every single performance of this song, from baby Elvis all the way throughout his career. Somehow it sounds perfectly suited to him in every era. And wanting to feel someone’s love no matter how they treat you? So relatable.
Anyone please feel free to participate! 😘

a gentle melancholy song. hope you like it, tumblr dears. lyrics:
I knew all the things
I wanted to do
Came prepared to play
And then I met you
You might say
i got lost that day
oh i got lost,
in a wonderful way
i'd seen skies of
a pretty orange-pink hue
that color had no name
no name i knew
until the day we met
and then i knew
that was the color
the color of you
the color of you,
and all hopeful souls
oh, my dear
what a mournful glow
like the tides your kind
they come and go
but always with that same
pretty orange-pink glow.
oh my dear what a mournful soul
