From the Liner Notes :

Oh the perils of romance in the modern age. Love…
it’s supposed to be one of the most beautifullest things in the world.
The truth is, Love for most is ugly with a capital UGH.
It’s a journey with twists and turns, where half the time it seems like we’re just making mistakes and bad decisions. We end up not even knowing what we truly want and can’t even figure out how we want it all to end. It’s never all sunshine and lollipops. Not in the really real world anyway.

You meet someone. You think they’re great, but its -
I’m not ready for a serious “relationship" right now.
I like you…but I’m in love with someone else.
I’m just enjoying being “single”, so you know… let’s just have fun wink wink.

If you can maintain your sanity and keep your cynicism to a minimum during the process, you have the chance to come out the other side with your soul intact. If you’re lucky, you don’t hurt anyone along the way and you get to see the beauty in all of it, even in the parts of the experience that will potentially fill you with disappointment and heartache.

It’s that whole yin & yang thing. You can’t have the good without the bad, and the sad times.. well, they will make your moments of happiness that much greater.

Sure, it was probably easier back in the day during simpler times when you could find a companion and get married by giving a cow to a prospective bride’s parents. But if it was still like that now, all these great songs about the infinite pursuit wouldn’t have been written, and I wouldn't have been able to make this mixtape you hold here - Sidepiece Valentine’s, songs that cover the not so pretty side of your search for love and booty.
