This is the time where love is in the air and what better way to put love in the air than to do it with music. Music is an essential part of Valentines Day because one must set the right mood. Music is what brings people together and it can definitely make anyone happy. If you have no idea what to play, well this article can definitely help you out. You can listen to it sequentially (recommended) or shuffle. It is completely up to you. I have set it up to where the songs gradually speed up by a touch and eventually work its way down.
