With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it is time to start thinking about how to express your feelings for your loved one – perhaps in a manner a bit gooier and mushier than usual. Whatever you have planned for the upcoming holiday, whether it consists of an extravagant night out or a quiet, homemade dinner with just the right amount of candlelight, you are going to need the right music to accompany you.
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it is time to start thinking about how to express your feelings for your loved one – perhaps in a manner a bit gooier and mushier than usual. Whatever you have planned for the upcoming holiday, whether it consists of an extravagant night out or a quiet, homemade dinner with just the right amount of candlelight, you are going to need the right music to accompany you.
And so, I present an eclectic mix of lovey-dovey tunes that is upbeat, bittersweet, and everywhere in between. You will find quite a few classics in this mix; they’ve stuck around this long for a reason, right? And how could I have left out a French song when the language is so irresistibly romantic? (If you’re interested, you can find a translation of La Ciel Dans Une Chambre here.) Whatever your mood or your taste, I’m sure you will find a song in this mix to happily share with your beloved. Enjoy!
