I got enough positive feedback from my last playlist to make me consider that making a habit out of it wouldn’t be such a bad thing. And with Valentine’s coming up, you know that everyone’s looking for just the right song.
Of course, the problem with Valentine’s Day is that everyone is in a different mindset, and thus are looking for different things musically. Some people are hugely head over heels in love with their significant other and looking for expressions of love. Some people are just starting to fall in love. Some are making appeals (and hopefully won’t get the “Message Body: No” response), and others are lamenting the loss of love. And some people are just flat out bitter from the get go.
I thought it would be an interesting exercise to try and form a playlist of songs that applies to EVERYONE – a handful of songs for each of these classes of people, enough to let people find something that will work for them. Of course, I am conflicting genres (trip-hop, dance, rock, classical, and more), artists (DJ Shadow, Lou Reed, They Might Be Giants, Daft Punk, and Kylie), and tempos – but who cares about those sorts of things? I did make some poor attempts at thematic progression, so track order does matter. People who are connected to my music library will find a shared playlist for queueing this all in order. So without further ado, I give you Valentines For All. Click through and enjoy.
