“_Over the Hills and Far Away_” by Led Zep. We discussed what our song would be. I had chosen “_Pollution Woman_” by West, Bruce and Laing, which I think is one of the greatest songs ever made and very poignant, and extremely romantic in a Jack Bruce sort of way. She nixed it, because she thought that it sounded as if she had ‘polluted’ me. Posting from the job, so, I can’t provide a link. ---

Dream Catch Me - Newton Faulkner. The other loves of my life are the kids, and throughout my pregnancies I listened over and over to Endlessly by Muse. It works, if you ignore a couple of the verses that confirm it’s actually about unrequited love. ---

“Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands,” from Dylan’s _Blonde on Blonde_, 1966. Mainly because it took up the whole album side and the song didn’t usually end mid-bang. Duration of relationship: 1979-81. ---
