Your “Forever” is met with “Get back in the car?" In Rubber Band Man (Oct 2025) by #Mumford&Sons & #Hozier it hurts. But the song proves intimacy can survive breakdown, ending with a quiet request for another start.

When I hear British Invasion, I think Beatles. Maybe I should think #The Animals. The House of the Rising Sun (Jun 1964) is not a light love song. "Oh, mother, tell your children, not to do what I have done." Heavy.

Words can't capture the feeling. The first time, waking up next to a person you now know you love, "My whole world is you." #ThePaperKites breakout hit is also their most lasting. Bloom (Sep 2010) is that golden moment.

#Journey isn’t classic rock. It’s perennial. Instantly recognizable. Big guitars, stadium-anthem lyrics, HUGE. Stone in Love (Jul 1981) was never even a single. So is it a deep cut? Hardly. You’ll be singing along without realizing it. Awesome.

It's funky, man. Is it '70s yacht rock? Nah. But I'm digging the two singers, hurt about maybe seeing their ex tonight, and knowing they aren't over it. Penelope Road nails a slick sound for a rough night in Out Tonight (May 2025).
