Twinkly Songs About Sex

Good Music for Fall

Most music that feels appropriate for this time of year is depressing and really only makes things worse. Bon Iver — sad. Jason Molina — very sad. “Wake Me Up When September Ends” — bad. It’s been a rough year, but it’s been an especially rough fall and we all deserve some twinkly songs about sex for christ’s sake. You know how in the movie True Romance half the time you think something bad is about to happen that Hans Zimmer score starts playing and Patricia Arquette and Christian Slater just make out instead? It’s like that, but more wistful — music for weather just starting to commit to the cold and skittish, hormonal teen girls.

Mirah Yom Tov Zeitlyn, who goes by Mirah, is a singer-songwriter who was popular in the mid-aughts. She wrote a lot of pretty, twinkly songs about sex. If you can you should lie on your bedroom floor while you listen to it.
