Valentine’s day is upon us yet again and for a fun way to end the workweek, I thought I’d put up this clip of Tim Minchin’s song “If I Didn’t Have You.” He addresses love and fate in his typically clever and zany way.

I don’t believe that love is magical or mystical. Furthermore, the notion of soul mates is absurd, detrimental and a set up for failure. That said, this song probably isn’t the best one to sing in a romantic setting. Then again, I’m not a person you should listen to when it comes to dating – I once introduced a boyfriend as “…is my next ex ole man.” and in my defense, the comment was referential to the fact that neither of us wanted marry, furthermore, our paths separated shortly thereafter. Today, we are both living happily ever after-no muss, no fuss. And yes, we still speak to one another in thoughtful kindness and consideration.

Some may not understand that concept, however, it’s all good!
