A week and a bit late here is the Valentines Day post that I was going to post.

So whilst everyone else posts a song for lovers, I will post one for those who are single or as a very ugly columnist in cosmopolitan put it decidedly single. So I chose poppy bird by the Bromhead Jackets. For the following reason, the girl in the song is my type of girl, amazingly beautiful, reads, has beautiful eyes and wears a poppy (British charity for veterans). Then when describing the man himself, his little quirks makes him self-conscious. The line he plucks up his courage is so ridiculously on point that I wonder why it hasn’t been used in many songs before. The sad fact that in my head that saying hello to a stranger is one of the hardest things of all time. Case in point I approached two girls two weeks ago in a club and leaned in to say something, it took me 20 seconds before I said anything.
