So unlike most of the songs I've posted recently, this was a brand new idea that inspired me in the past month or so, and I was really proud of it, it felt fresh and clever. In a bit of a depression (or maybe just a rut), I was thinking about how I didn't have as much passion for music as I usually did, as if I didn't love them anymore, I just liked them. I was like, whoa, "I Don't Love Songs," that is a great title! I feel like it makes people think, "What does that mean?" and pulls them in for that reason.

"The scent of beer soaked pine makes me think of live music" was also a line that came into my head in the past month or so. I guess I was reminiscing about the good old (pre-covid) days when live music was abundant and simple, and that sensory image popped into my head. In my list of possible lines for songs I also found the "music makes me fall in love with everything again and again and again" and the "sick to your stomach" second verse. I realized they all kind of went together so I molded them all into a single song.

I think it's fairly catchy, but maybe doesn't stand out that much. But it's a favorite for me because I find the lyrics really eloquent, and that's the most important thing for me. Like, this is a deep feeling and experience I have in my life, that i've never heard expressed quite perfectly in a song before, but I accomplished it for myself. That's so satisfying.
