This playlist is a rough draft / reference tracks for the 8 song operetta Love or Limerence. It marks a milestone in production of having tracks for all the instruments, with room for some additions, retakes, midi and audio fixes and mixing/mastering. Stay tuned to watch this project come to fruition!

Love or Limerence is a story depicting the 5 stages of grief experienced when a highly desirable love interest turns unrequited and all hope is lost. For review, the 5 stages of grief are denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.

Of course, this story is so sad, you wish it were just sad.

Rough reference mix of the title track from my 8 song operetta Love or Limerence. Track #5 of the set. Other titles from this set are available on youtube.com/@JohnLynker. It's coming along, slowly.

Lyrics:
====
Love is elation but Love has broke my heart
Longing love with you
Love's fascination that all will do their part
Holding on so true
Cause I'm so in love with you

They say you broke my heart but we all know that's not true
None of this would be at all without my love for you
You are the victim of my sloppy drunken love
Nothing else will do
Cause I'm so in love with you

This crush is golden, I knew it from the start
Sparkling love a-new
Too much emotion that scared away your heart
Leaving me so blue
Cause I'm still in love with you

I want to chase you round and go down on you all night
Vying to win your love a perilous fight
Charged with limerence that makes it feel alright
Nothing else will do
Cause I'm so in love with you
Can I get in touch with you?

Love is elation, love has broke my heart.

Limerence is interesting. Humans want just enough of the elements of limerence to enjoy the euphoria of love - to worship and be worshipped. Yet, unrequited love may cause debilitating obsession.

May your love be elation in all it's forms.

18/8 (waiting for she/her)(in a Jazz club)

18/8 (Waiting for she/her)(in a Jazz club)

"Welcome in" tweeted like a love bird
Brightens my day with just a word
She loves Ijon, gives the dog a bone
Love & affection are her throne

(chorus)
Good Morning Sunset let me show you the ways
Good Morning Sunset vexed attraction today
Good Morning Sunset it will all be OK
Good Morning Sunset she has nothing to say

Love Bird maturing and the dawn begins to rise
The morning sunrise shines a sparkle in her eyes
Love Bird's cautious, quick to fly away
I will be loving her for all of my days

chorus

Morning Love Bird hides away she's so shy
She furls my love in knots no way to untie
Show my colors and away she will fly
Watch her fly as I cry

chorus

Good Morning Sunset

Hold your head up high
Let this heartache by
Know she doesn't love you, don't ask why.

Find something to do
Let's her think of you
Someone who can handle all your pride

Cuz her world's rollin' on without you
Your heart's like the toy the cat chewed
Your world needs to find a higher love

All that precious time you've wasted
Chasing heaven almost tasted
Let her go to live her best life

Open your heart wide
Let these feelings fly
Free the love you've had just say goodbye

Cuz her world's sailing on without you
Your heart's like the toy the cat chewed
Your world needs to find a higher love

Don't share love where it's not wanted
Let your memories be haunted
Let her go and live her best life
Let her free to live her best life

Cat Toy (Her Best Life)

It's been nice to get to know you
There's so much I want to show you
You are always on my mind
Thanks for letting me off kind
So I'll be going now, I'll show myself out
Take my broken spirit and give up on this route
To hear  your voice to see you smile and gaze into your eyes
All I have are memories, That's all I'll realize
If ever you should think of me I hope it's with a smile
That old man's a golden heart, despite his quirky style
Momma always told me "Lord has someone just for you"
60 years of living, just to find that it ain't true
When hearts pour out their love giving it everything they've got
Hard to keep 'em beating, when every heart beat hurts a lot
I'll will wait forever just to see you again
Maybe make mends so you might call me your friend
Time may heal all wounds but there's this scar I'll always love
Watching little love bird fly away a lovely dove
I'll be going now

I'll Be Going Now (epilogue)

Every Saturn is drop of lonely
Memories of unrequited love
Down the street there's another red one
Why remind me when she doesn't care?

I know I need to look away forget her
But it's so hard she lights my Leo Fire
Sometimes for weeks, not a sight of Saturn
Then one day everyone at every turn

Maybe when she's reached a Saturn's birthday
She'll drive a chariot that fits her style
But Saturn's etched upon my grid of pain
Always asking myself Why!
