The only thing I like about Valentine’s Day is that it gets people thinking about the people they care about. But in my mind, every day ought to be Valentine’s Day. When you have someone that you care about, who makes you feel like the world is a bright and beautiful place, why do we need some artificial holiday to get us to recognize that daily miracle?
It’s not like I only listen to love songs one day of the year. I listen to them every day, because love is a universal experience, one that infuses us in every moment. It makes no sense trying to lock it away. It should be all around us – to keep us warm on cool nights, to shield us from the drudgery, and to inspire us against all odds.
So, a few love songs that I enjoy any day, not just on one day in February.
Love So Pure – Puffy Amiyumi
Love, Love, Love (Love, Love) – As Tall As Lions
Perfect Lovesong – The Divine Comedy
Can’t Help Falling in Love – Eels
