This CD wasn’t originally part of the “Love” series; originally it was supposed to be “kissing”, “love”, and “sex”. But somehow the kissing CD never got off the ground. This CD came about after a dinner-time discussion of Sting’s “Behind the Music” episode on VH-1. He mentioned that couples came up to him and told him they got married to “Every Breath You Take” and it freaked him out because it was a stalker song. From there we started talking about “Stalker” songs in general, and off the top of our heads listed all the songs here.
Apparently there’s a Sarah Maclachlan song we overlooked, but oh well. The first four songs all seem slow and dreamy and romantic, but if you listen closely to the lyrics, they’re pretty creepy. I originally had five Melissa Etheridge songs picked out, but I thought it might go to her head, so I only took three.
