Valentine’s Day makes people feel bad. If you are in love, isn’t that enough? Does it necessitate a show of chocolate and flowers to prove it? If you are not in love, does it make you feel like you are missing something? I think not, but that’s just me. Love is a wonderful thing, and it can manifest in many ways, be it with friends, family, pets, and of course with significant others. Show some love today, pay it forward by doing something nice for someone. And smile, it’s contagious.
Today’s video “Valentine” is an ode to a broken heart from Becky Warren, with lovely guitar licks from Jeff Malinowski. It comes from her 2018 album Undesirable, an album written with and for street people, in an effort to allow their stories to see light of day. Here is the sparse and haunting Music Fog version, filmed last year during a private recording session in Nashville.
