a nerd, smitten.

So since this is my first post I figured why not go a little personal. I’ve recently become smitten with a girl and with that I’ve been listening to a lot of stupid love songs. And with Cody giving you a iPod suggestions, I might as well throw my hat into the ring and suggest to you…
TERENCE’S TOP FIVE STUPID LOVE SONGS WHEN YOU’RE SMITTEN WITH A GIRL
Okay, so maybe that title is a little long. Anyway, on with the countdown.
1. “You, You’re Awesome” by Do Make Say Think. This song is completely instrumental any you maybe asking me “Doesn’t a love song have lyrics?” and I’m asking you “You do know that I can’t hear you through the internet right?” But there’s something about this song that’s just ~wonderful~. It makes me think of a lazy Sunday afternoon, maybe lying around on the couch watching TV, or lying down in a hammock and just relaxing in the sun.
2. “Gesture” by Facing New York. “You make me feel so much you make me lose my cool all the time.” That lines sums up everything about liking a girl, at least for me. Not to mention that it’s an all around awesome song.
3. “Hey” by Backseat Goodbye. Probably the sappiest song that’s on the list. Almost every guy has met that girl he wants to take on picnics, go to the movies, or just walk and hold hands with. This is the song you stand outside her window and sing while playing an acoustic guitar, or holding a boombox if you’re John Cusack with a terrible haircut.
4. “Coffee” by Copeland. This has the same feel as the last song but with a more “Hey, I’m not in high school so I have a car and no curfew.” feel to it. This is the song that plays before the date scene in some indie romance comedy. This is the song that plays after you’ve had a long day and you get that text message that says “Hey, you wanna hang out tonight?” This is the song that plays when it’s 1 in the morning and you’re still not done talking about your day.
5. “It’s OK With Me” by Manchester Orchestra. This is the semi-depressing song on the list. I know I’m not most desirable male on the planet and yes I have glaring flaws and yes I am way too self deprecating and yes I’m stuck in a dead-end job AND YES… what was I writing about again? Anyway, I usually listen to this song when I driving home late at night or I’m sitting alone by myself. But this song plays for every lonely, depressed guy who finds out some awesome girl shows some interest in him. Just listen to the first chorus “And I know I’m not what you need, but it’s OK with me, yeah it’s OK with me.”
All right, enough my stupidity. I’m going to leave with you a playlist of these songs and a few extra stupid love songs to pad it out.

Dude…this is awesome.
I have never heard of any of these songs, but I am partial to Silk E. Fyne’s song “It’s Like Romeo And Juliet.”
