The perfect companion album for wallowing in a state of self-pity. Though not your traditional love songs, perhaps still the most realistic album of "love" songs I've ever listened to, and I love it. It is also, frankly, a hilarious, witty album in many respects. I am always torn between feeling mighty depressed and laughing hysterically . I actually think the album is a sort of masterpiece, an odd, bizarre, strangely moving one, at that. At any rate, it is a mighty impressive collection of songs. If you don't make it all the way through in one sitting, that is understandably fine, I would actually not recommend it, anyway. "Enjoy" : ) !

"69 Love Songs" is the sixth studio album by American indie pop band The Magnetic Fields, As its title indicates, 69 Love Songs is a three-volume concept album composed of 69 love songs, all written by Magnetic Fields frontman Stephin Merritt..... Merritt has said "69 Love Songs is not remotely an album about love" It's an album about love songs, which are very far away from anything to do with love. The album features songs in many different genres, including country, synth pop, free jazz and mournful love ballads. All the songs deal with love in one form or another, but often in an ironic or off-beat fashion, such as "Yeah! Oh, Yeah!" that tells the story of a husband murdering his wife. The songs of 69 Love Songs features songwriting with both heterosexual, homosexual or bisexual points of view, such as "When My Boy Walks Down The Street" or "Underwear"'- Wikipedia

Not that you asked, but "I Don't Want To Get Over You" is the first Magnetic Fields song I ever heard, and "The Book of Love" has always been my favorite track , and you might know it already. "All My Little Words" , "The Grand Canyon" , World Love", A Pretty Girl Is Like..." The One You Really Love" , "I'm Sorry I Love You" "When My Boy Walks Down The Street" , " You're My Only Home" , " My Only Friend" , "Long - Forgotten Fairytale" "Papa Was A Rodeo", " Abigail, Belle of Kilronan" , "Wi' Nae Wee Bairn Ye'll Me Beget", " Queen of the Savages", " The Night You Can't Remember", are also some favs of mine. Cheers!
