"To be loved like that makes all the difference. It does not lessen the terror of the fall, but it gives a new perspective on what that terror means. I had jumped off the edge, and then, at the very last moment, something reached out and caught me in midair. That something is what I define as love. It is the one thing that can stop a man from falling, the one thing powerful enough to negate the laws of gravity." Paul Auster (Moon Palace)

Bruce Springsteen - streets of minneapolis, 2026

"I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free, Bruce Springsteen"

Neil Young - when you dance i can really love, 1970

"The official Neil Young website gives the title as "When You Dance I Can Really Love"; however, the CD release (US catalogue number 2283-2, Europe 7599-27243-2) has the title misprinted as "When You Dance You Can Really Love." The correct title appears on other albums, such as Live Rust. It also appears in Young's handwritten lyrics included with some copies of the album."

Stars - the passenger, 2010

"The song has a dreamy, atmospheric electropop/baroque pop vibe typical of Stars' sound from that era—lush synths, evocative lyrics, and a sense of nocturnal wanderlust."

Renaissance - love goes on, 1971

"The band recorded "Love Goes On", "Golden Thread", "Love Is All", and "Face of Yesterday" in between continued extensive touring in both the UK and mainland Europe, a schedule that was so physically taxing that McCarty became ill while on the road, leading him to announce in July 1970 that he was leaving Renaissance in order to focus exclusively on songwriting. Keith Relf was not immune to the stresses and personal conflicts of the band's nonstop schedule, and with McCarty gone, he shortly after announced that he was quitting Renaissance as well, though he continued to be present for the recording sessions in his capacity as producer. John Hawken recruited singer Terry Crowe and guitarist Michael Dunford (both from Hawken's previous band The Nashville Teens), as well as session drummer Terry Slade to replace Relf and McCarty. Louis Cennamo nonetheless was skeptical of the band's future in the light of the departure of both their primary songwriters, so when the band Colosseum contacted him with an invitation to become their new bassist, he accepted. Bassist Neil Korner, another former member of The Nashville Teens, replaced him."

Rilo Kiley - go ahead, 2001

"This song is ultimately kinder than I was 20ish years ago, and because we see things not for what they are but as we are, my 18-year-old self heard a much more sarcastic, sardonic intent underneath this track that pairs a breezy permissiveness with an absolutely astonishing willingness to accept whatever is best for the object of this song, even if that means losing them to distance, separate paths or the freedom to find somebody else that’s better."

Kitchens Of Distinction - oak tree, 2013

"Fitzgerald's impassioned, wordy, often bluntly personal vocals careened over what sounded like a mass of swirling guitars, though the band only had one guitarist."
