I sorted through some favorite love songs to use for serenades. For the Humboldt Park Serenades, I chose “Exotic Forest” by Sun Ra and “This Must Be the Place” by Talking Heads. “From the River to the Ocean” by Fred Anderson and Hamid Drake and “You Make Me Weak at the Knees” by Electrelane were selected for the Lakefront Serenades.
Please list some of your favorite love songs by adding a comment. And, feel free to list a space or building that you think is appropriate for your song choice(s). Thanks for contributing!
This list is from the presentation at InCUBATE on August 31:
