about

Anais Mitchell has a great song off her new album, Young Man in America, called Venus. The word for it is "earnest," which I think is hard to find in a love song, actually. Listen to it on the first day of Spring and try not wanting to write the most earnest love song you can think of. This was mine.

lyrics

In Tobyhanna, you were up and you can't settle down, blowing through the house like a country wind's dragging you out. If you say you're sure, I would follow you out of this town. If you say you're sure, and you are.

Marry me in white, when the balls of your feet are stained black from the pavement in the summertime, when the sun beats and blisters your back, and turns you hair to gold, and you sing every song that there was. You were all ideas that the world could hold, because.

There's no day long enough, so you kept singing all night.
