Happy Valentine’s Day!

I may come from the same town as a certain anti-Valentine’s day character, but hey, there are some of of us who’d like to think we make up for the bad cookie’s from the factory

I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, so here goes my list of Top 5 all-time favorite love songs !

Bed of Roses – Bon Jovi

While we’re talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby you’re all that I need

This song is very, very special! There is no way I can begin this list without this song being right on top. When I listen to this song, it reminds me of new beginnings, of realization, and of conversations in the rain

Run – Snow Patrol

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we’ll make it anywhere
Away from here

Ah, Grey’s Anatomy! I watched a fanvid of Meredith and Derek somewhere, and it had this song in the background. I thought it was a perfect fit ! This song is so full of the pain of impending separation, and yet it’s hopeful at the same time.

Say it Right – Nelly Furtado

Oh you don’t mean nothing at all to me
No you don’t mean nothing at all to me
But you got what it takes to set me free
Oh you could mean everything to me

Ok so this may not be a typical love song, but it’s so full of energy! There was a time when I would listen to this song at least 6 times a day, and I felt like getting up and dancing every time! There’s no innocence in this one, just an amazing sense of seductiveness.

Ee Tanavu Ninnade – Raghu Dixit

I admit, I don’t understand every word of the song but I do get the gist of it , and boy do I love it! I love the music in this song – it supports Raghu’s voice beautifully, making the song so powerful! I first heard this being played live on Christmas Eve ’08 and I will never forget the ambiance OR the excellent company

Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing – Aerosmith

And I’m wondering what you’re dreaming
Wondering if it’s me you’re seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we’re together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

June 2, 2007 – a date I will never forget! Aerosmith at Palace Grounds – this show changed my life forever! They didn’t play this song, unfortunately, but it’s my all-time favorite Aerosmith song so I had to put it in Although, looking at the circumstances, I really should be putting in Pink as well !
