GLG Fresh Mp3 Friday: Love Means...

Whether you call it a Hallmark holiday or Valentine's Day, you will be submerged by hundreds of advertisements encouraging you to express your love to someone special. No matter how large your ego may be, secretly, everyone hopes for the love god Eros, son of Aphrodite (a.k.a. Cupid), to strike us with his arrow.

If then, here are a few definitions of love to help guide you.

We've asked a few of our GLG clients to define what love is and what it means to them. So, if sorting out your feelings feels a lot like Egypt's government right now, this is for you.

And while you're waiting on Cupid, enjoy the featured Mp3s.

The Morning Birds

"Love is not something we celebrate one day a year. It is a constant renewal of our appreciation for each other and our lives together. Everyday we make a conscious decision to be as present, open, honest, caring and compassionate as we can be. It definitely is a direct reflection of how we feel about ourselves. The more we can help one another see the love we hold within for our selves, the deeper we can open up our hearts. Not only for each other, but everyone we come in contact with. For us, love is a constantly evolving celebration of the connections we have in our lives and a beautiful way to experience our intimate and unique bond we hold together." - Sam & Jenn

Genre: Experimental/Folk/Hip-hop

For fans of: Imogen Heap, Andre 3000, Animal Collective

Baby Teardrops

"I'm not that into 'Squishy Love,' so the Feb. 14th holiday has never had too great a significance for me. Though, there is one Valentine's day that's taken another little piece of my heart. It was Feb. 2004. Me and my best buddy Mick were out to dinner at our favorite old school Italian restaurant in Kansas City, the oldest restaurant in those parts and revered by many..." - Matthew Dunehoo

Staff Infection: Sonic Shoulder Mixtape

It’s one of those weeks. You know, the kind where it seems like we’re all living Nintendo cheat sequences (up up, down down, left right, left right…). Even for a tragically optimistic, glass-half-full kind of girl like myself, the weight of the world feels just a little bit heavier at the moment. For those of you who are hitting a rough spot, are feeling the teeth of life sinking in, or as Jeff Tweedy of Wilco says, are in need a “sonic shoulder to cry on,” I’ve complied a few cheer-up songs that have been floating through my speakers, as a reminder that what goes down must come up. (This is a scientific fact according to Roberts’ Law of Emotional Physics). Until that happens, here’s a little audio bear hug courtesy of Green Light Go.

Wilco, “Wilco (The Song)” from Wilco (The Album)
The Flaming Lips, “Do You Realize??” from Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
Electric Light Orchestra, “Mr. Blue Sky” from Out of the Blue
George Harrison, “Here Comes the Sun” from Let it Roll
Eels, “Beginner’s Luck” from Hombre Lobo
Modest Mouse, “Float On” from Good News for People Who Love Bad News
Nada Surf, “Always Love” from The Weight Is a Gift
Ryan Adams, “Chin Up, Cheer Up” from Demolition

Each Monday a different Green Light Go staff member will let you in on what songs have infected their ears for the week, while giving you the opportunity to share in the experience yourself.

This week: Lauren Roberts, Green Light Go Talent Coordinator/Publicity Client Scout
