Valentine’s day is a day specially earmarked for lovers, sweethearts, and couples. Traditionally, gifts to show your love for your partner are exchanged on this day. Music plays an important role too, with some of the most romantic numbers played to make the day memorable. In this CelebrationJoy article, we give you some of the best song to get in that romantic mood.
This year it’s going to be an extra-special Valentine’s Day. I’m hearing wonderful news from all quarters. Charles and Camilla, I understand, are going to be wed at long last―I think that’s wonderful, don’t you?―I mean, you know, give me a long-lasting romance any day. The British paparazzi must be feeling a trifle frustrated though―bugging the telephone probably won’t be half as interesting now. Anyway, far better and more interesting than the Windsor saga, is the news that a very precious friend of mine is in love. I’m so happy one of us has managed it, I would like to shout it from the rooftops for him. But I’m embarrassing enough without resorting to that, so I thought I’d just dedicate some of my favorite songs to him. He’s a very talented musician, by the way, and I’m not saying that just because he’s my friend. One day soon, people, he’ll be suing you for pirating his wonderful music.
