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.

  • MY FUNNY VALENTINE  /  Laila Biali & Kurt Elling  /  “My Funny Valentine”
  • THIS CAN’T BE LOVE  /  Lili Maljic  /  “The Nearness Of You”
  • AT LONG LAST LOVE  /  Frank Sinatra  /  Sinatra & Swingin’ Brass”
