I love those songs, but they are also songs my husband loves because their not so cheesy!
February 7th, 2008 at 12:56 pm
One more: Getz/Gilberto – The Girl from Ipanema
February 7th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
I would add these two songs from the Serendiptiy Soundtrack:
Never A Day– Wood Lyrics

I just love that movie so much! Listening to the soundtrack makes me smile. For V-day my hubby and I are going to go iceskating just like they do in the movie. A simple activity, but so fun –hand in hand.
I’d love your soundtrack! Good choices!

My favorite Love Song is “Divide me” by Kalai. It was mine & my hub’s wedding song & he surprised me by getting Kalai to sing it to me live on our wedding night. Amazing!
February 7th, 2008 at 1:39 pm

Ingrid Michaelson-The Hat & The Way I AM
Melt-Rascal Flatts

Thanks for the new tunes! I wish oh wish you pick me!!!
February 7th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Thanks for the great ideas!
February 7th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
My favorite is “When I’m 64″ by the Beatles, but I would definitely have to include “Everytime I close my Eyes” by Babyface (and Mariah Carey?) since that was our wedding song.
February 7th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Language of the Heart- David Wilcox (sweet and sexy)
You Were Always on My Mind- Michael Buble
All You Need is Love- Lynden David Hall (Love Actually soundtrack)

February 7th, 2008 at 2:34 pm
Hmmm…Eric Clapton “You Look Wonderful Tonight.” Loooove that one.
February 7th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
I really really love “If You Go Away,” Emiliana Torrini’s version. It was sorta my theme song when Jim spent 15 months on the other side of the planet.
February 7th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
More than Words by Extreme, Melody of You by Sixpence None The Richer, and my absolute favorite, Book of Love by Peter Gabriel. I shed at least one tear every time I listen, it’s so lovely.
February 7th, 2008 at 4:12 pm

“Red Sweater”- The Aquabats
“The Simple Truth”- Tsunami Bomb
“Til Kingdom Come”- Coldplay
February 7th, 2008 at 4:56 pm

February 7th, 2008 at 5:17 pm

February 7th, 2008 at 5:19 pm
At Last by Etta James is a Valentine’s Must!

February 7th, 2008 at 7:34 pm
moon river by andy williams.
always loved this song but it got me even more after the classic episode in sex and the city with mr. big and carrie.
very old school romantic.
February 7th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
someone to watch over me would be great. And so would the mix, so if you please……
February 7th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
“Forever” by Ben Harper
“Oh” by Dave Matthews
I love the minimalistic acoustic guitar, and how simple and sweet they are.
Even though it’s kind of cliche, “Look After You” by The Fray, I think it’s just so romantic.
February 7th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
I’m loving My Love for You is Real by Ryan Adams and the Cardinals. It would definitely be included, along with Someone to Watch Over Me.
Great mix.
February 7th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
I’m a sucker for “Grow Old With You” from The Wedding Singer Soundtrack Vol. 2 (you know, the song Adam Sandler sings to Drew Barrymore on the plane? I cry everytime I see that.) Journey’s “Open Arms” is also good, but I may pick Mariah Carey’s cover of it instead.
February 7th, 2008 at 11:51 pm
I like…
You – Bonnie Raitt
Tunnel of Love – Bruce Springstein
Signed, Sealed, Delivered – Stevie Wonder
Like I Love You – Justin Timberlake
Rock with You – Michael Jackson
By Your Side – Sade
February 7th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
“Honey & the Moon” Joseph Arthur
“The Way I Am” Ingrid Mickelsen
“Ache For You” Ben Lee
GREAT MIX! Would love to win!
February 8th, 2008 at 8:27 am
Anything by Air Supply is a must for my Valentines CD.
February 8th, 2008 at 9:13 am
Right now I’m in love with “Last Train Home” by Ryan Star; “Rest of my Life” by Unwritten Law; “Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop” by Landon Pigg; and “The First Day of My Life” by Bright Eyes.
February 8th, 2008 at 9:32 am
“Stolen” by Dashboard Confessional
“Melody of You” by Sixpence None the Richer
“Fools in Love” by Inara George
February 8th, 2008 at 10:13 am
I love “The Luckiest” by Ben Folds and “Family Tree” by Ben Kweller.
February 8th, 2008 at 10:15 am
I have to agree with Robin – “Forever” by Ben Harper is definitely on my mix, along with “Better Together” by Jack Johnson. :)
February 8th, 2008 at 10:51 am
Lovely mix.
I would add “Shelter” by Ray LaMontagne or anything else from him for that matter. His velvet voice sings unabashed romance to me.
February 8th, 2008 at 11:30 am
Somone else was looking for “how can i tell you” by chan marshall. Me too! I need that song. Every time the diamond commercial comes on I cry, and it’s like 5 seconds long…..
I would put “Reservations” by Wilco on there….although you do already have a wilco song. My husband was playing this song 2 years ago on valentines right before he proposed. The lyrics say “I’ve got reservations about so many things…but not about you. Not about you.”
Also “This Years Love” by David Gray is sweet. And it’s either called “to be alone with you” by sufjan stevens.
February 8th, 2008 at 12:10 pm
I love mix cds. I really love “No Place that Far” by Sara Evans. It’s an older one, but I just found it again.
February 8th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
I adore The Blower’s Daughter by Damien Rice (Can’t take my eyes off of you.)
Also, If You Want Me from the Once soundtrack by Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova.
Totally Brilliant.
February 8th, 2008 at 3:14 pm
I’m with you on the ‘Mrs. Darcy’. You always know the cool tunes, Lacey. The only song I would add to your list is “Jump (for My Love)” by the Pointer Sisters.
February 8th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Thanks for the music, can’t wait to take an hour to listen to some romantic tunes. I love finding new/old music!!
February 8th, 2008 at 4:04 pm
Everything by Michael Buble. I have it on repeat–I love it!
February 8th, 2008 at 8:44 pm
funny valentine, blaze of glory
February 8th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
…”Watching every motion in my foolish lover’s game, On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame, Turning and returning to some secret place inside, Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say …Take my breath awayyyy -Take my breath awayyyy”…. from Topgun baby…who doesn’t love that song! Only because my Valentine really does take my breath away ha..ha…It’s a classic love song!
February 8th, 2008 at 10:55 pm
Ingrid Michaelson- The Way I AM
Micheal Buble – Everything
