Roy Orbison did an entire song on the subject, too.

Dodgy recording, but it's still a beautiful song.

Even dodgy, Orbison is still the man. What a fantastic song about Cali.

Orbison is, as you so rightly say, the man.

I feel a beatnik poem coming on.

I think this is probably my favourite of his songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5LExf_en46Q Probably because the idea of burning across the country for a night with your love is so wonderfully romantic, and also (a) I have done it for someone, (b) I'd do it for someone else right now if I could. *blushes... in-love dragon*

Love is a fantastic thing. Sounds like we're both going through the same things with our respective selves.

Also, Sony blocked the song. Might want to resend it.

Try this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G15xRPGvrNA

And love is a fantastic thing. Except when it hurts like a bastard and freezes like a bitch, when the fever is burning you up inside and hope seems lost, and the only peace you can get is in motion, is in motion, endless motion with the windows down and the cold gripping your head while you sing to covers of old love songs, out there in the night that's so cold and dark and the one you love is with someone else...

... and it's no good trying not to think about it, because you can't not. There's no cure for what I have.

Oh, that is fantastic. Roy always knows how to hit me. Love is something that there should be no cure for. It'd be a sad day to be rid of love.
