You’re welcome, Laura, and beaucoup de felicitations a votre marriage. I heard it was a beautiful ceremony.
I didn’t have any Beatles songs in my list because I couldn’t pick just one or two. Same with The Magnetic Fields’ 69 Love Songs. But I thought of a few more that deserve to be on some kind of list:
Righteously – Lucinda Williams

To Be Alone With You – Sufjan Stevens
I Think I Need a New Heart – The Magnetic Fields
