Or maybe they’re softer, depending on how you want to look at it. Then, when you see your error This is the official anthem of good intentions and it is wrenching. It’s unnecessary, quixotic, excessive, relentless, sometimes grotesque, even occasionally genuinely romantic. Shirley Simms sings, “I’m sorry that I love you/It’s a phase I’m goin’ through / I’m sorry that I love you.” We’ve all been there: mildly embarrassed of our feelings but helpless to do anything about them and not embarrassed enough to bother hiding them.

Merritt makes great use of his sonorous voice to authoritatively put forth a kind of manifesto, as he’s called it, for _69 Love Song_s.

Musically, in terms of things like instrumentation, this has more to recommended it than most songs on the album, with its pleasant acoustic jangle and guitar solo. The lyrics are up there with any of Dorothy Parker’s epigrams as far as droll wit goes, but, like Parker’s verse, Merritt’s best is as truthful as it is funny. Effective, but frightening. Frank Sinatra would have done a wonderful job interpreting it. Special thanks to Claudia Mastroianni for transcribing the lyrics for volume one. From track to track the several voices on the album whip from tender sincerity to extreme camp, adding up to 69 mostly great songs that worship, mock and interrogate love by turns, released just before the turn of the millennium.
