the butter on your breakfast toast. apparently a soft rock band from the seventies channeled my entire relationship philosophy within four minutes and a few verses. amazing. i was driving around listening to the official old people's radio station and this song comes on and i happen to catch the line "it don't matter to me, if you take up with someone who's better than me..."

i was like, "hey, this doesn't sound like a normal love song! this sounds great!" so i kept listening and suddenly i was ready to elevate this song to number two on the list of relationship songs i can believe in -- right under alanis' "not the doctor." of course the song eventually devolves into an "i'll be waiting for you forever" aesthetic but i guess the band had to sell records right? so after a look-through of the lyrics, i've decided i really only like this one verse. do non-happy ending love songs not move units or something? oh well, i guess my career as a singer songwriter is over.

it don't matter to me
if you take up with
someone who's better than me
'cause your happiness is all i want
for you to find
peace ... your peace of mind
-bread, it don't matter to me-
