Damn. It might be mostly boring, but who wouldn’t at least like to get a peek at a few of those things “we’re all too young to know?” The heart of the song however is the contrast between the conceit of all the tricky charts and instructions in the titular compendium with the simplicity of the melody itself and of the uncomplicated emotion it conveys. This is the first song from the first volume of The Magnetic Fields’s 69 Love Songs. [Chorus] Lovecraft.

Although nicely written, “I Don’t Believe in the Sun” is too nakedly a parody of a sad love song to be truly enjoyed. Then, you can flee in terror Sprinkled with glitter and splashed with reverb, surreal, but whimsical and full of vivid images, it’s a little late-’60s San Francisco psych and a little early ‘70s glam.

Very few seem to really know what they are talking about.

With its mess of audio effects, treated vocals, cello and professions of insanity, “I Shatter” is the highest dosage of Stephin Merritt that is considered to be safe. Really, though, that’s part of the charm of the album when taken as a whole.

As clever as they are, all of the very best songs on 69 Love Longs are much too relatable (and touching) not to take seriously, even personally, as songs about love.
The Magnetic Fields marry acid techno with indie pop here in a way that is listenable enough. I'd Do Anything For Love Lyrics 2006: Bat Out Of Hell Lyrics 1977: You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth Lyrics 1977: Paradise By The Dashboard Light Lyrics 1977: Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad Lyrics 1977: It's All Coming Back To Me Now Lyrics 2006: Dead Ringer For Love Lyrics 2006: I'd Do Anything For Love (but I Won't Do That) Lyrics 2006 As the sprawling magnitude of its cheeky title suggests, 69 Love Songs is Stephin Merritt's most ambitious as well as most fully realized work to date, a three-disc epic of classically chiseled pop songs that explore both the promise and pitfalls of modern romance through the jaundiced eye of an irredeemable misanthrope. There’s a feeling of elation in this song that sets it apart from every other song on the album. “69 Love Songs is not remotely an album about love. Or, are the courtly blandishments and old-timey ukulele meant to throw an inappropriately soft filter over ‘80s Night at Mr. Beery’s with your ex who you are supposedly just friends with now? The primitive garage-pop foundation underscores its echoes of classic tunes like “Give Him a Great Big Kiss” by The Shangri-Las. As such, it is much better and more affecting than it has any business being. This is basically the Celine Dion hit “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” translated into indie pop. Initially conceived as 100 love songs arranged in alphabetical order for theatrical revue performance, Stephin Merritt--indie-pop songsmith and Magnetic Fields spearhead--downsized his ambitious concept project to 69 Love Songs, his first recording under this moniker in four years. Not for all my little words The kind of song to make you want to serenade someone who you want to spend the rest of your life with, or renew your vows, or meet someone who you want to spend the rest of your life with. But we are not afraid. The first volume of The Magnetic Fields' monumental masterpiece 69 Love Songs, and the one you’re least likely to skip through. But not if you fall in love

(And yes, there is a huge difference between those two things.). You might decide I'm a nut Not for all the tea in China Is this, like many of the best tunes on 69 Love Songs, a case where the narrator is clinging to some romantic narrative in order to shield their psyche from an unacceptable reality?

My heart will certainly break Don’t listen to this song on headphones. The lyrics are up there with any of Dorothy Parker’s epigrams as far as droll wit goes, but, like Parker’s verse, Merritt’s best is as truthful as it is funny. It is your wings that make you beautiful
Maintaining a soft, melancholy atmosphere comes a ballad about a man who is not able to stop his love interest from leaving him. “It’s a Crime” is goofy, yet period-perfect, new-wave reggae. All right. On 69 Love Songs, only “Strange Eyes” is weirder. It’s Elizabethan comedy dipped in Manic Panic semi-permanent hair dye. It doesn't matter what I do (doesn't matter what I do) 2, Unchained Melody: The Best of Piano Love Songs. It was going to be [with Claudia], but I sang both parts and liked it.

It captures the spirit of indie in the ‘90s-early 2000s—disenchanted with rock or at least the expectations of the genre’s audience, unafraid to be weird, unselfconsciously depressive. Fake ones are fine.

Is it a merciless skewering of world beat as a file under and marketing-bred subculture? STANDS4 LLC, 2020. Take this tidy miniature, which calls to mind a small porcelain figurine of Saint Sebastian or some other thing that is simultaneously genteel and ghoulish, or maybe a Southwestern Surrealist collage where Christ’s briar encircled heart has been snipped away and replaced by a pincushion cactus in full bloom.

It’s kind of cool, but it also smacks of Tom Waits, which seems like a cop out. Very hard to listen to and not feel happy. This one does. There’s also a general shift toward acoustic instruments on this album, definitely a new direction for The Magnetic Fields. True I'm in love with you but Does it contain a wistful yearning to know such heroic love? “Love is Like a Bottle of Gin” doesn’t have the most indelible melody of the bunch, but 69 Love Songs is almost defiantly about the lyrics. Plus it’s short, which is appropriate. They make you think and perhaps smile sadly.
