Mixtape: love at a wedding

I’ve never been one for traditional love songs. Half the time the lyrics of the songs people associate with love are of the unrequited kind, the broken hearted kind or not even of love at all. It’s not always about what the songs say though, it is how they make you feel… That being said, I was shuffling through my collection of digital songs (a truly incomplete subset of the library of music I’ve amassed over the years in all formats from 78RMPs on up) on the train heading out to a wedding and managed to do a “save song” list based on things that caught my eye and ear that might remotely resemble songs that two people with some kind of discerning musical taste (which are NOT the words I would use to describe the couple, by the way) might enjoy. It’s not a love mix, per se, nor is it a wedding mix, it’s just what was left after I arranged the songs in this order for them.
