PLAYLIST FOR “LOADS OF LOVE FOR VALENTINE’S DAY!” 2.14.26

15 Feb

Loads of love songs for Valentine’s Day. In the past I’ve always dropped in a ton of ironic songs about love that are hardly love songs. One year, to be ironic, I even played Love For Sale. This year, this month, this week, I didn’t think the world needed my irony – or maybe I didn’t need it right now. So, for the most part, I played a couple hours of un-ironic, unapologetic love songs.

  • LOVE MAKES THE CHANGES  /  Freddy Cole  /  “Love Makes The Changes”

  • THIS CAN’T BE LOVE  /  Lili Maljic  /  “The Nearness Of You”
  • AT LONG LAST LOVE  /  Frank Sinatra  /  “Sinatra & Swingin’ Brass”
  • LIKE SOMEONE IN LOVE  /  (Mystery Vocalist)  / Bjork  /  “Debut”
  • I AM IN LOVE  /  Les McCann  /  “Never A Dull Moment”
  • I’M IN LOVE  /  Connie Lansberg  /  “I’m In Love”

  • THE LADY’S IN LOVE WITH YOU  /  Seven Pasquale  /  “Somethin’ Like Love”
  • DO I LOVE YOU?  /  Lauren Henderson  /  “Lauren Henderson”
  • OUR LOVE IS HERE TO STAY  /  (Mystery Vocalist)  /  Mickey Rooney  /  “Love Of The Simple Things”
  • I’M CONFESSING  /  Samara Joy w/ Pasquale Grasso  /  “Linger Awhile”
