Kiss
Don′t need no precious Valentine
Or hear you will be mine all mine
Just want to know you
And hear you're cheerless too
Or hear you will be mine all mine
Just want to know you
Are still lonely and blue
You're worthy of one just as wrong who is as dismal
When all is grey a disarray better the devil
Don't need no precious Valentine
Or hear you will be mine all mine
Just want to know you
Are still lonely and blue
You′re worthy of one just as wrong who is as dismal
When all is grey a disarray better the devil
You′re worthy of one just as wrong who is as dismal
When all is grey a disarray better the devil
La la la la la, la la la la
Oooooooo
La la la la la, la la la la
Oooooooo
Don't need a precious Valentine
Or hear you will be mine all mine
So sigh entwined with me dear Lower ideals
I′m the runt you were born to live with
We'll struggle pitifully along together
You′re worthy of one just as wrong who is as dismal
When all is grey a disarray better the devil
You're worthy of one just as wrong who is as dismal
When all is grey a disarray better the devil
You′re worthy of one just as wrong who is as dismal
When all is grey a disarray better the devil
You're worthy of one just as wrong who is as dismal
When all is grey a disarray better the devil

Kiss
The lyrics of Jonathan Bree's song Valentine convey the message of not being interested in celebrating romantic love on Valentine's Day. The repetition of the phrase "Don't need no precious Valentine" reinforces the desire to reject conventional notions of love and relationships. Instead, the singer seeks to connect with a person who is experiencing a similar sense of loneliness and sadness. The lines "You're worthy of one just as wrong who is as dismal, When all is grey a disarray better the devil" could be interpreted as the singer reassuring their potential partner that they will be there for them even in the darkest times, and perhaps even find comfort in being "wrong" and "dismal" together.
The chorus of "Kiss, Kiss" could also be seen as ironic, as the song is about rejecting romantic love and instead finding connection in a shared feeling of loneliness. The closing lines of the song, "Kiss, Kiss, Kiss, Kiss" could be interpreted as a sardonic nod to the traditional Valentine's Day kiss, emphasizing the rejection of the holiday's expectations. Overall, Valentine speaks to those who feel disconnected from the standard narrative of love and romance, and seeks to find comfort in shared sadness with another.

(Beso)
No necesito ningún precioso Valentín
O escuchar que serás mía toda mía
Sólo quiero conocerte
Y escuchar que tú también estás sin ánimo (Beso)
No necesito ningún precioso Valentín (Beso)
O escuchar que serás mía toda mía (Beso)
Sólo quiero conocerte
Todavía estamos solos y tristes
Eres digno de alguien tan mal como tú que sea igual de deprimente
Cuando todo es gris, es un desorden, mejor que el diablo (Beso)
No necesito ningún precioso Valentín (Beso)
O escuchar que serás mía toda mía (Beso)
Sólo quiero conocerte
Todavía estamos solos y tristes
Eres digno de alguien tan mal como tú que sea igual de deprimente
Cuando todo es gris , es un desorden, mejor que el diablo
Eres digno de alguien tan mal como tú que sea igual de deprimente
Cuando todo es gris, es un desorden, mejor que el diablo
La la la la la, la la la la (Ooh..)
La la la la la, la la la la (Ooh..)
No necesito ningún precioso Valentín
O escuchar que serás mío todo mío
Así que suspira entrelazada conmigo querida
Baja tus ideales
Soy el enano con el que naciste para vivir
Lucharemos lastimosamente a lo largo
Juntos
Eres digno de alguien tan mal como tú que sea igual de deprimente
Cuando todo es gris, es un desorden, mejor que el diablo
Eres digno de alguien tan mal como tú que sea igual de deprimente
Cuando todo es gris, es un desorden, mejor que el diablo
Eres digno de alguien tan mal como tú que sea igual de deprimente
Cuando todo es gris, es un desorden, mejor que el diablo
Eres digno de alguien tan mal como tú que sea igual de deprimente
Cuando todo es gris, es un desorden, mejor que el diablo
(Beso)

His voice is brooding and hypnotic, it’s incredibly intoxicating. Since Elvis I’ve loved male voices that are calm cool and strong. Sure Elvis wasn’t really that, but he set the precedent for me going onward to Morrison, Morrisey, Eddie Veder/Chris Cornell. Even going up to recent artists. Anyone know any other songs or artists like this? This song is literally perfect
kristina mrozek
Warhaus and Baltazar is hypnotic for me, James Blake is soft but worth to try, enjoy :)
Pat Geh
Reminds me most of David Bowie, really. But Nick Cave and The National is also really close.
Presh Villa
Its very Bowieesque...yet not. Smooth like butter is Alex Turner of AM and TLSP.
Matheus Elias Pereira
Ghost, Dio, Cannibal Corpse, et al
Paula Joyce
Tindersticks and The National

@Виталина Грубич Life is not romantic novel... Sorry, but I am married to someone else. Either way, that gal was always very nice to me, and I always wished her the best.
