a valentine’s day playlist

February 12, 2013

felt fortune cookies 014

No one can deny that many great events in life are marked by music.  Whether it be a song that marks a wedding, a sporting event, or a formal dance.  Songs can transport us back to our first school dance or remind us of a favorite movie.

There is definitely a special bond between music and romance, so in honor of Valentine’s Day, I compiled a list of 20 (in no particular order) of the most memorable of all-time (in my estimation anyway).

You should be able to find one or two to set the mood for the day ;)   Just click on the song title to bring you to the YouTube link.  Turn your volume down first…I don’t want to cause a commotion in your office!  To start you off, the first is sung by my favorite musical artist… It Had to be You ~ Harry Connick, Jr….enjoy!
