a valentine’s day playlist: for the lovers and the lonely

a valentines day playlist: for the lovers and the lonely

(source)

I alluded to it last month, and truth be told, this is the Valentine’s Day post I’ve been looking forward to the most! There’s not a broken heart or a budding romance that music doesn’t help, so why not make a playlist for both sets this Valentine’s Day? Honestly, I’m not above belting out a great version of Since You’ve Been Gone in the shower (very out of tune, I might add) and one of the love songs is my absolute favorite karaoke tune–see if you can guess which one! Single, taken, or hanging with the girls this February 14th, I hope you enjoy both of these playlists!

For the lovers:

    i spy lily allen! she and amy winehouse are my go-to when i’m mad/sad! x chelsie (mossypants.com)

      YES! How did I forget about Amy?!

    These playlists crack me up! Even though I’m technically in the “lonely” category (although I prefer “single and fabulous”), I’m loving the Etta/Damien/Ingrid collabo happening on the first playlist. Although come the 14th, I’ll definitely be jumping around to “it’s raining men.” Because that’s just who I am.

      I’m with you–single and fabulous is a MUCH better way to put it (honestly, lovers and lonely just made a good title haha). That Ingrid cover is one of my favorites ever–oh, and can we jump around together on February 14? Because that sounds fun.

    I haven’t heard a Babyface song in so long! I used to use ‘For the Cool’ for my jazz warmup. I need to do that again.

    Oh man, The Scientist never fails to make me want to start bawling like a baby!

    • http://glossymusings.com/ Alyssa

      Right? Something about Chris Martin’s voice just kills me every time.

  • http://pearlsandlaceblog.com/ Jen

    Seriously in love with that balloon! I love your lovers playlist, Etta James is such a classic!

      Like every other person in the world, I want to dance to Etta James at some point in my wedding. Cliche, but I don’t even care!

    How fun! Not sure if you’ve heard of Songza before, but it’s my favorite online playlist site. My current obsession is called Fashion Forward Indie.

      Oh, I’ve never heard of it! I’m going to have to check it out–Grooveshark always gives me issues!

  • GiovannaPacini

    Fun!! “Fu** You” by Lily Allen is one of my fave everyday songs. I love how “sweet” sounding it is compared to what she’s saying! lol Great picks!

      Haha right? It’s like the ultimate sweet slap in the face.

    I actually really love listening to sad and depressing love songs I don’t know why, because I’m clearly happily married, but there is just something about them that gets to me! Right now I’m obsessed with the new Bruno Mars song, When I Was Your Man. Seriously obsessed.

      No, seriously Yi-chia–ME TOO! I think we might be soul sisters…I just love sad tunes, and I’m a really happy person haha. I havent’ heard that Bruno Mars song, though…I’ll have to YouTube it!

    These are great picks :) And I am going to take a stab at which love song is your karaoke fave… Whitney – I Will Always Love You?? XO Brynn

    • http://glossymusings.com/ Alyssa

      Yes! And “Faithfully” by Journey, which is also on the “love” playlist. I mean, it really can’t get much better.

    Although I should probably be plopped in under the “lovers” category, I think I’m enjoying the “for the lonely (but not really)” playlist a bit more.
