Down with love? It might make the world go round, but do we have to sing about it all the time? Nope. There are lots of great tunes about the rest of life. Have a listen.
I’ve got nothing against love, honestly. Couldn’t wouldn’t shouldn’t live without it. I was just a bit tired of singing about it all the time. There really is more to life. So I chose ten terrific not-love tunes–songs about freedom and family; about places we love and leave; about harmony and hope. Songs that celebrate; songs that contemplate; songs that are just plain fun. So here they are. Up with life! Enjoy!
