Love #1 -- In an alternate universe, I imagine this is what Nico would have been doing around 1976 or 1977 had she been cast away from her art-centric friends in New York.

Love #2 -- I almost think I know who this is, but not enough to say "I know this." Very swooney. I love the brass bridge, and I love the sudden ending. if only the vocals could catch up in the wave.

Love #3 -- Peppy and spooky. Oh, to infer what the chorus lyrics have to do with love! Bridge harmonies amplify and resonate the spookiness.

Love #4 -- folk with a quivering masculine minstrel. Aw, the mistrustful bastard. I swear I won't fib again if it means i have to see that finger of delusion pointing at me singing that word at me in THAT WAY.

Love #5 -- This is from a semi-recent movie soundtrack, isn't it? Phonetically translating the final words into English, oh the lols.

OK, I know none of these songs. One song is definitely a stand out and is getting my first-place vote. Will have to relisten to the other four to see if one stands out amongst them.

OK, second place has been decided!
