I'm playing a Valentine's Day show and I can't decide what to cover. Thoughts/suggestions?

I'm thinking Morning Song

"Summer Home In Your Arms" is also great

What's Simple Is True

Now that I've slept on it, I'm also considering Does Anyone Believe in Love Anymore ... maybe Painters.

I didn't have context for the reddit thread with a similar question so I gave a few other options, but I think Thump Thump is a perfect Valentine's Day song in this situation.

Maybe I Think I'm Fallin' or Rub Somebody the Right Way for after dark

I don't know this one very well

You've got time – and I'm pretty sure it's one of the ones you did a tutorial on Travis picking for! Or maybe I'm just making it up. You could make it up. Add new verses. That would be cute. You could do it, you're really growing in your own songwriting!

Also, although I don't really consider it a love song, YWMFM would be something many people might recognize.

I'm avoiding break-up songs, and YWMFM is a break-up song.

I've never done a Travis picking tutorial. Might be Linda you're thinking of. I've largely avoided Perfectly Terrible in its entirety lol

I feel silly making that mix-up! 😅

jewelwiki · « **Reply #11 on:** January 16, 2025, 06:38:45 AM »

I just looked it up on the wiki. It was BreAnn (👼😢)

Jessica · « **Reply #12 on:** January 16, 2025, 07:45:27 AM »

Ah! She was right before my time. I remember Linda was the one who posted the instructional video I used to learn the pattern, but it wasn't an EDA - it some dude with a course on youtube.

FFS, NOT Painters!

Jessica · « **Reply #14 on:** January 17, 2025, 06:39:52 AM »

You don't like Painters??

To say it's a bit much is an understatement.

Jessica · « **Reply #16 on:** January 17, 2025, 09:36:38 AM »

I just don't know what that means in this context.

jewelwiki · « **Reply #17 on:** January 17, 2025, 03:52:02 PM »

I find painters beautiful. ♥️♥️♥️

Also, today, I was listening to EDA Radio and Cleveland came on. It's a different version from what I'm used to hearing but it was great, and I think that it could actually fit in your set - and you could even change Cleveland to "Norterra" or the venue name or something cute!

Jessica · « **Reply #18 on:** January 17, 2025, 04:27:15 PM »

Aww that's a cute idea!

I love painters. I think it's a sweet little love story and it's super easy to play. Plus, I'll have other musicians with me and that song can give them a nice five minute break.

Is it only 5? I remember it being more like 7 1/2, but I haven't heard it in years. Either way, it always seemed too long to me...seemed to drag. One of the low points of the album to me, after Adrian.
