It’s true. Some people think it’s sad, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

Some love songs to swoon for on this day dedicated to love:

Cut Copy – Autobahn Music Box (XFM Session) – I watch the sun go down and up again and think of you

Alan Pownall – Up and Away - Whatever I do, I’ll always find my way back to you

The Features – The Idea of Growing Old – We can play charades when there is nothing to say

Regina Spektor – Bartender (XFM Session) – Love is so fickle, it starts with a flood and ends with a trickle

We Are Scientists – Be My Baby (cover/Oui FM Session) – For every kiss you give me, I’ll give you three

Lulu & the Lampshades – Cherry Coke -  Have a cup of tea and marry me

Jeremy Warmsley – I Keep the City Burning – I stop the rain from falling, I keep the city burning for you

The Maccabees – About Your Dress (acoustic) – You stood out like a sore thumb, the most beautiful sore thumb I’d ever seen

Bonus tunes sans italicized lyrics:

The Rakes – The World Was a Mess But His Hair Was Perfect
One of the most genius/beautiful song titles ever. In my opinion, at least. Plus it’s a great song.

Modern English – I Melt With You
A classic. We can listen and imagine that sweet sequence in Valley Girl. Or think of people who claim Modern English is one of their favorite bands and we can laugh because who in the world calls Modern English one of their favorite bands? It’s like if I said Kajagoogoo was one of my favorite bands because I really like that ONE song.
