Mission Bell (Amos Lee album) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Oh, Amos Lee. You were there for me all those years ago when I moved out on my own and spent Valentine’s Day alone (I was actually with my best friend, and perfectly happy, but that’s hardly a compelling opener).

Flannel! CDs! And is that Johnny Depp? (Hey, remember Benny and Joon?) I have the urge to go watch Reality Bites.
Hey, you guys! Have you heard of this really cool band?

If there’s no one beside you when your soul embarks,
I will follow you into the dark.
