Cover art for Love Dog lyrics by TV on the Radio

This song is awesome. The second I heard it, I realized it's a fantastic reference to Rumi, the Persian poet.

Rumi writes,

"There are love dogs no one knows the names of.

Give your life to be one of them."

The entire poem can be found here: http://www.uuwestport.org/Readings/lovedogs.html

It's basically about searching for God and yearning for him even if you can't hear him respond.
