Love stories? We’ve got plenty. Twenty or more, last we looked.

Falling in love. Falling out of love. Staying. Leaving. Besotted. Disappointed. Moving in. Moving out.

A wedding in a pub, under the specials board. Teen romances. Dancing in an empty house. Fighting for gay rights.  Breaking taboos. Breaking plates. Trying to still be friends. Going to the movies one last time.

Love stories? We’ve got heaps. Plus some poems. Even a short film.

And the songs? Songs by Pulp, Nirvana, Regurgitator, Joan Armatrading, Paul Kelly,  Paul Weller, Bon Iver, Pearl Jam, The Church, The Smiths, The Beatles, Bryan Ferry, Foreigner, Jeff Buckley, Ben Lee, Fleetwood Mac, The Indigo Girls, Geeshie Wiley, Vince Jones…

The title song from In The Mood For Love inspired a poem by Thuy On.

A huge thank you to the writers of our love stories: Thuy On, Melissa Longo, Smokie Dawson, Kevin Densley, Hugh Jones, Molly Galea, Bea Jones, Zoe Krupka, Nick Gadd, Paul Bateman, Martina Medica, Brian Nankervis, Torre de Roche, Maria Majsa – and more.

Love stories? You’ll find them right here, in The Stereo Stories Anthology of Love Stories.

Shirley and Paul Bateman. See their love story – Re:Stacks by Bon Iver.
