“High-Fiving MF” by Local H. It just kind of worked out that way.

Wow, I haven’t heard that one in years. What a great song for a couple. Really.

Ours would have to be “Decatur,” by Sufjan Stevens. It just always seems to be playing when we’re together. If I could choose one, I’d pick “Anything You Want,” by Spoon.

Our Official Love Song is “This Love” by Don Henley. But we have many mix CDs that bring back memories of our courtship. Sometimes we get them out and get all teary eyed.

You are obviously in need of some kind of therapy, as am I, if you are serious about this statement. 😃

It would have to be _Playground Love_ by Air or _Don’t Let Me Down_by the Beatles.

But _Gimme Shelter_ by The Rolling Stones and _The Ballad of You Me and Pooneil_ bring back memories of our early days of dating.
