[PDH]

Sparks - Metaphor

[Eddie Teach]

Leonard Cohen- Everybody Knows

Alanis Morissette - You Owe Me Nothing In Return

Perhaps it is just my bias (and my perception of Alanis) but I never took this song to be positive. In fact, I wouldn't even be open to such an interpretation except that an acquaintance posted on facebook about how they love this relationship model and are happy that it supports a poly-amorous point of view.  A quick check on google revealed at many people are taking this to represent an ideal form of love where you aren't asking for anything back.

I'll give you countless amounts of outright acceptance if you want it
I will give you encouragement to choose the path that you want if you need it
You can speak of anger and doubts your fears and freak outs and I'll hold it
You can share your so-called shame filled accounts of times in your life and I won't judge it
(and there are no strings attached to it)

You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
You owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
I give you thanks for receiving it's my privilege
And you owe me nothing in return

You can ask for space for yourself and only yourself and I'll grant it
You can ask for freedom as well or time to travel and you'll have it
You can ask to live by yourself or love someone else and I'll support it
You can ask for anything you want anything at all and I'll understand it
(and there are no strings attached to it)

I bet you're wondering when the next payback shoe will eventually drop
I bet you're wondering when my conditional police will force you to cough up
I bet you wonder how far you have now danced you way back into debt
This is the only kind of love as I understand it that there really is

You can express your deepest of truths even if it means I'll lose you and I'll hear it
You can fall into the abyss on your way to your bliss I'll empathize with
You can say that you have to skip town to chase your passion and I'll hear it
You can even hit rock bottom have a mid-life crisis and I'll hold it
(and there are no strings attached)

So Jesus writes a love song through Alanis.  Got it.

Peter Gabriel-Don't Give Up (feat Kate Bush)

Now I'm gonna have to go and find some KB to listen to. 

And I catch shit for living in the '80s.

Because you don't listen to anything made after 1999.

They made music this century?

I listened to it finally.  Jury's still out.

Yeah, I mean I just always assumed from her tone and I guess my own prejudices on those sort of statements that she was being sarcastic. Sounded too much like volunteering to be a doormat if said in earnest / you think she wouldn't be so deadpan as she has a happy voice generally for happy lyrics.
