At first my aim was to make a January mix of great tunes for your willing ears. Then I realized: It’s February already! What does February mean? The over-commercialized holiday of Valentine’s Day! Now while I am a firm believer that certain parts of Valentine’s Day promote shameless consumerism (ahem), I do believe that love is something to be celebrated. Be it friendly, romantic, or familial, the bonds that tie us to the people we care about make us who we are. So a music mix in its honor seemed more than fitting. Though this mix focuses on the romantic perspective, love is beautiful no matter what. So listen to this mix if you have that significant other that makes your world (and heart) explode into new meaning, or even if your single, let the music take you away to what could be.
