avmelica

genuinely brilliant album that does not tire despite the majesty of the work, has many small moans in the manner of the minutemen, even if in another context. clebre also the book of love then redone by peter gabriel

jackbrear

Peter Gabriel ruined this song by making it an overwrought, overly emotional, sappy and overproduced power ballad. What a waste of Peter Gabriel’s talent.

alexisrs

Discovered this song when my Dad died 19 years ago it helped me in a way to understand or try to understand what was happening to me. For some reason had to seek it out again 2night...

ravibhushan16

The gift that keeps on giving. Check out this song called "You Write Songs Like A Stephin Merritt Fan"

My old friend....tea's up....champagne bubbles ? one day

juditonoya

don't get me wrong Peter Gabriel's voice is decent but honestly Merritt sounds infinitely better singing this song

gsfnanya

I don't understand where why or how I understand this but it finds me in the darkness of not knowing where I should be going or Where I'm going to end up going too

musicsmofficial

A beautiful song by Stephin Merritt. The song is clever and playful in its construction. It's essentially a grumpy man professing his love, with the long "I" and "You" transitioning from his opinionated thinking side to the side of how he feels. Peter Gabriel's version missed the point of the song by making the whole song too melodramatic and by introducing too much orchestration into the music.

wiguna78

Here from the series " friends from college" yeah it is 2022!

andonas

This song must have actually come from The Book of Love itself.

deangonzales

I had a theory that the verse "no one can lift the damn thing" implies that no ONE person can lift the book, so two people have to lift it, and that's how they fall in love.

failletransformante

Looking for love in the comments of this song

hatatetomokazu

I know this is a cover but I like just love the simplicity of it. A beautiful love song ?

canuy

great song. some of the covers are good, but I believe once you try to make this song something more than it is, you've taken some of its meaning away

knowedc

It‘s a song about something which does not exist in this world anymore.

ameyarathi113

The GOAT right here. Ive seen and listend to a 100 covers of this and at best it is a complemt to this original version

amclawhorn

I prefer airboure toxic events version better honestly

evesorot

Mandala effect moment for me because i always thought Leonard cohen wrote this.

soniamonllor

Thank you 'this is going to hurt"

"69 Love Songs" (btw what a title!) is an encyclopedia of great pop music! And one of the best albums of the 90's!
