i'm going to do you a favor this valentine's day...

do you know every word to Air Supply's Making Love Out of Nothing at All? if not, i can help you. trust me, you are going to want to know every word when you turn this song on in your car with the volume at eleven (or more realistically at something like 42.) i mean, just look at these lyrics from two climactic moments in the song:

The beating of my heart is a drum

and it's lost and it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night and turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I've got to follow it
'cause ev'rything I know
Well it's nothing till I give it to you

I can make the run or stumble
I can make the final block
And I can make every tackle
at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock

have you ever in your life seen lyrics better than these? no way. he can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle! who doesn't want a lover like that? the beating of his heart is a drum and it's lost and it's looking for a rhythm like you! so smooth! swoon.

the last verse is a little guilt-trippy so we'll just skip over that for now. learn this song. and then belt it out. your life will never be the same.

if you're interested in more news about high-quality musicians and art, let me remind you that a new Radiohead album was announced today (you too?) and Arcade Fire won best album at the Grammy's last night. here is something delightful a friend sent me: http://whoisarcadefire.tumblr.com/

and my favorite:

oh molly. do the Grammy's have something to do with real life? you just watched a performance of Gwyneth Paltrow and muppets. muppets, molly.
