A little Marvin Gaye never hurt anyone.


It's a well known fact that Valentines day isn't my most favorite holiday. But this year, I've come to the conclusion that its not such a bad day and I might as well celebrate it, if just a little. So in the spirit of trying not to be bitter and hate this holiday, I've decided to create a list of my most favorite love songs of all time. There really are some good one's out there and hopefully they might help all you love birds set the mood on this, the most schmoopy of holidays.

Let the love fest begin!

15. Halo, Beyonce
14. I'll never let you go, Steelheart
13. Unforgettable, Nat King Cole
12. When we Dance, Sting
11. Let's get it on, Marvin Gaye
10. Home, Michael Buble
9. At Last, Etta James (I still like it even thought it was used at Obama's inagural ball, but it was a close call)
8. J'attendais, Celine Dion (It's in French but the lyrics are some of the most beautiful I've ever heard)
7. Take my Breath Away, Berlin
6. All I want is You, U2
5. Have you ever been in Love, Celine Dion
4. The Way You Look Tonight, Tony Bennett's version
3. When I'm with you, Sheriff
2. Now and Forever, Richard Marx
1. Hands to Heaven, by Breathe. My absolute favorite of all time!

I think I did a pretty good job of limiting myself to only two Celine Dion songs. Not an easy task, I assure you. :)

Most of the songs are on my playlist player, so you can scroll through them if you'd like. Now you have no excuse for not knowing what songs will set the mood for you and your sweetheart this Valentines day. Happy Valentines day everyone!
