Love: it comes in many shapes and forms, and can be celebrated in so many different ways. I definitely advocate for constantly celebrating all of the love in our lives, and Valentine’s Day presents a great opportunity to show the people you love exactly how you feel. Whether you’re celebrating friendship or romance, you can make February 14th all about the love. In honor of this, I crafted a playlist, mixing some lovey-dovey music with some songs that celebrate all different kinds of love as well!
Here goes:
1. All I Want is You by Barry Louis Polisar (from Juno)
2. You and I by Ingrid Michaelson
3. I’m Yours by Jason Mraz
4. You Got Me by Ingrid Michaelson Feat. Storyman
5. If Ever I Stray by Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls
6. Holy Ground by Taylor Swift
7. Home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
8. Home by Lauren Fairweather—It’s sweet, fun and about Harry Potter. All good things.
9. No Average Angel by Tiffany Giardina
10. Blood Brothers by Ingrid Michaelson
11. Already Home by A Great Big World
12. Lovers’ Eyes by Mumford and Sons
13. Paperweight by Joshua Radin—One of the sweetest and most soothing songs I know. It’s great for late night talks with your besties or for serenading your sweetie.
14. For Good sung by Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth (from Wicked) Too many tears.
15. I’m Only Me When I’m With You by Taylor Swift
16. Afterlife by Ingrid Michaelson—If you have not seen this music video, I highly recommend it. It’s inspiring and beautiful and I cried the first time I watched it.
17. Days of Summer by the Starkid Company (from A Very Potter Sequel)—The message of this song perfectly applies to my feelings about my Kenyon family. It’s only the days of summer that we must spend apart, and we’ll back again before we know it for even more fun together. “I don’t want to see you go, but it’s not forever.”
18. 5 Years Time by Noah and the Whale
19. All You Need Is Love by the Beatles
