Group Three - Storge

'I met her in a church on a Sunday evening / Not late on Saturday night'
Cowboy Junkies 


You are mainly storgic in your loving when your partner is first and foremost a friend, you feel an easy affection for him or her as a soulmate, you do good hugs together, you have beautiful smiles, and if you ever split up, you lose your best friend.  Storge is the Greek for natural friendship.  Your love is a duet and your Monday wonder is this (proposed by Kurt S): www.youtube.com/watch?v=K75zK5i35N4  (It's a traditional Macedonian love song called Jovano, Jovanka and I hope you'll agree with me that the best bit is the smile she gives him half-way through.)

And if you enjoyed that, chase it down with tears and this achingly beautiful Cowboy Junkies song - Five Room Love Story.  It's about a man whose partner died.  He spent the rest of his years gluing pictures of birds, animals, stars to the walls of their house, covering every space.  Asked why, he said, 'Because I love her.'  Here's the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KombmUwPekI (and here are the lyrics) and here is the song again, set to a video made using the Sims computer program, which you'll either love or hate, I guess - I find it strangely beautiful: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iujgsLWuFiw Thanks to Jo Y for introducing me to this song.
