marcoujor: Musical Love

​Publishing a post on Valentine’s Day might suggest content related to hearts, flowers, chocolate, and other symbols or acts of affection …

​Whew! Mission accomplished...!
Now, to focus on my ongoing love affair with music, with songs of love as the order of the day.

I believe that, at least a little, music needs to be part of every day. Because musical preferences can differ greatly, I am choosing a whopping number of 14 songs to honor February 14th, the day of love.  

Life is a song. Love is the music.

I haven’t been able to find a source for this quote. The sentiment is short, wise and the perfect thought to frame this day.

Special thanks to my family and friends who have shared their favorite love songs. I have included some of my own as well. Please share and visit as often as you wish, whether you are feeling the love or in need of a love infusion.
​If you made it to the end of this playlist, I thank you and hope you enjoyed this lovable collection of songs as much as I did in selecting them for you.

I'm writing this comment and listening to Roberta Flack's "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face." I'm smiling. What a beautiful and symbolic compilation of LOVE! Sending you hugs, sweet friend! I hope you have a beautiful Valentine's Day and that your valentine lets you know how much you mean not only to him, but to the world! You are a light and I'm sending you more big hugs!

Dear Maria,

Happy Valentine's Day to you and to all your readers! Thank you for all the lovely music that's been playing all day here in my little cottage. Can't wait to listen to "Endless Love" again, as well as "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face", another song with many memories.
Thank you for making this Valentine's Day special, my beautiful friend.
Love and hugs always,

Happy Valentine, my dearest Maria!

What a lovely selection of love songs! Of course, Elvis' "Love me Tender" is one of my very favorites, but oh, Roberta Flack's "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" takes the cake.

Enjoy the rest of this special day!

Hugs,

Martie

Maria...Of the 14 beautiful selections you have shared here today, Number ONE for me is definitely, Roberta Flack...oh YES. That one grabs me by the heart and soul and floods my memory with warmth. Valentine's Day is for lovers....those in the midst of love at this moment, anyone who ever once had the love of a lifetime and even those waiting to discover the magic.
Thank you for this musical gift. Hugs, Paula

    Welcome to my desk...

    I am a work in progress, so a rule of thumb is to expect the unexpected every week!

    Pull up a comfy chair and make yourself at home.
