Ok, I adore music. Growing up, I constantly had music playing in the background in my room. ALWAYS. My parents’ power bills dropped drastically when I moved out. Now that I have a crazy little monkey with two volume settings, “loud” and “louder”, I don’t play background music as much. It’s just a little too much noise. Alas, I still love popping a CD in the player when we’re in the car or the ear phone buds in my ears when I need a little vacation. And music can set the mood! I love that. If I’m upset, I turn on my ‘angry music’ and it helps me work through it. Ok, I’m sure you’re thinking “we get it, get to the point”. So here it is. A list of some of my favorite, romantic songs. Perfect for setting the mood for Date Night!
