A Valentine's Day For All


So... it's Valentine's Day, and maybe you're loving every second of it, or maybe you just feel evil in the pit of your stomach. No worries, I've got you covered with a little mix for everyone, from the hopeless romantics to the scorned loveless.

Situation #1: You're actually in love.
Congrats! You've been a loving, faithful partner, and now are celebrating this holiday with chocolate and teddy bears. Want to seal the deal? Play these songs for your beloved:
  1. Mat Kearney - Undeniable
  2. The Weepies - Gotta Have You
  3. Aqualung - Brighter Than Sunshine
  4. Kevin Devine - You Are The Daybreak
  5. The Beatles - Something
  6. As Tall As Lions - Acrobat
  7. Angus and Julia Stone - All Of Me
  8. Alexi Murdoch - Orange Sky
Situation #2: You've been scorned, and feel very bitter.
Oh no, how terrible! Someone has been a lying, cheating, so-and-so, and now you feel terribly alone on valentines day. Well, I would advise to take a deep breath, force a smile, and wash over the pain with these tracks:
  1. Fall Out Boy - Tell That Mick He Just Made My List Of Things To Do Today
  2. The Honorary Title - Everything I Once Had
  3. The Spill Canvas - All Hail The Heartbreaker
  4. Dashboard Confessional - The Best Deceptions
  5. Stars - Your Ex-Lover Is Dead
  6. The Early November - Baby Blue
  7. William Fitzsimmons - You Broke My Heart
  8. Motion City Soundtrack - Hold Me Down
Situation #3: You're just existing in life, and don't feel particularly with or against love.
Not a problem there, soldier, you go on being happy and awesome. Maybe love will find you in the future and make your life extra special, but if not, then you're going to make it extra special yourself. Positive thinking is the sweetest of all candy. Here are some awesome songs, just for you!
  1. You, Me, And Everyone We Know - Livin' Th' Dream
  2. Augustana - Sweet and Low
  3. Manchester Orchestra - The Only One
  4. The Narrative - Castling
  5. Copeland - The Grey Man
  6. Lydia - This Is Twice Now
  7. Straylight Run - Big Shot (Hands In The Sky)
  8. Snow Patrol - Open Your Eyes
So remember, no matter how love is treating you, remember that it's merely nothing more than a little mix of music in your heart, and you are in control. Happy V-Day, everyone.
