Serious Contenders: Stars, "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead"



Stars, that most theatrical of Canadian indie pop-rock bands, creates a scene and a mood and characters in sound. This is one of the most beautiful, lovely, longing songs I know and it's always a pleasure to stop what I'm doing and let myself get absorbed in it. There are many songs that preach love and devotion, some sincerely, some truthfully. But for me it'll always be songs about the difficulty of ever having been in love.

Happy Valentines Day.

  1. Love this song. You pretty much summed up why more succinctly than I could have.
