SummersRadio™ And now the conclusion of Love Stinks! - A SummersRadio™ Valentine's Day Spectacular! Julee Cruise - 'Mysteries Of Love' 'Mysteries Of Love' was written by composer Angelo Badalamenti with lyrics by David Lynch - and it was created for Lynch's 1986 film 'Blue Velvet'. It was also included on Julee Cruise's 1989 debut album called 'Floating Into The Night'. Julee Cruise is currently based in New York and is set to release a new album (her fourth) later this year! I love the strings in this song - her dreamy vocals - and the simplicity of the lyrics:
'Sometimes A Wind Blows
And The Mysteries Of Love
Come clear'
So yeah - love stinks sometimes - but truth be told I remain a romantic fool. I hope you all find the love you're looking for - and soon! Happy Valentine's Day! ♥

SummersRadio™ Presents... Love Stinks! - A Valentine's Day Spectacular! Lou Reed!
SummersRadio™ Love Stinks! - A SummersRadio™ Valentine's Day Spectacular! continues... Lou Reed - 'Perfect Day' (Acoustic Demo) 'Perfect Day' first appeared on Lou Reed's 1972 album 'Transformer'. It became a massive hit in the U.K. in 1997 when it was released as an all star charity single for the BBC. This particular acoustic version was included as a bonus track on the 30th anniversary edition of 'Transformer'. It features slightly different lyrics - he refers to it as a 'summers day' a few times instead of a perfect one - which is a perfect version for me with my last name being Summers! The lyrics are largely romantic but with a hint of cynicism with lines like 'you just keep me hanging on' and 'you're going to reap just what you sow'... Enjoy!
SummersRadio™ Presents... Love Stinks! - A Valentine's Day Spectacular! Anne Clark!
SummersRadio™ Love Stinks! - A SummersRadio™ Valentine's Day Spectacular! continues... Anne Clark - 'Hope Road' There are times when you meet someone who has potential - when you almost fall in love instantly - thinking about how good it would be if things worked out. That feeling of hope, like love itself, can be quite magical - until it's dashed away!
Anne Clark is a poet and songwriter from London who released her first album in 1982. Her most recent release came out in November - an EP called 'Past And Future Tense (Chapter One)' - which features new remixes of some of her classic songs. 'Hope Road' was a classic single released in 1987 from her 'Hopeless Cases' album... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Presents... Love Stinks! - A Valentine's Day Spectacular! White Stripes!
SummersRadio™ Love Stinks! - A SummersRadio™ Valentine's Day Spectacular! continues... White Stripes - 'Jolene' (Studio Version) Dolly Parton has certainly written some classic love songs - the heartfelt 'I Will Always Love You' and the innocent 'Love Is Like A Butterfly' come to mind - but they sound worlds away from the pleading insecurity that fuels her chart topping 1973 hit 'Jolene'. Sure, you can meet the right person - but what if they find someone else or someone else decides they want them too??
No doubt you've heard by now that the White Stripes have called it quits - as officially announced on their website on Feb. 2nd. This studio version of 'Jolene' was first released as a b-side to their 2000 single 'Hello Operator' - and a live version was later released as a single in 2004. Aside from being a great cover, what makes this version particularly interesting is the fact that Jack White is singing the lyrics - thus putting a bit of a gay twist on it, adding an entirely new dimension to the song... Enjoy!

SummersRadio™ Welcome to 'Love Stinks! - SummersRadio's Valentine's Day Spectacular'! Today is the day for lovers - I am single - but music is my one true love, so as always I shall share it with you! Yes, today's songs will be about love - but let's face it, although we all seek it, love is rather complicated. Let's explore this concept through some quality music... Fiery Furnaces - 'Single Again' The Fiery Furnaces are Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger - a brother and sister duo that started recording together in the year 2000 in Brooklyn. 'Single Again' addresses some of the darker sides of marriage and was included on their 2005 release simply called 'EP' - which was a collection of most of their singles and b-sides up to that point...
