Valentine's Song List by the Daily Forty-Niner Editors

It's been known that art and eros have been flirting for a long time. In fact, some studies have observed this phenomenon, how increased music experiences reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. The equation is then simple: more good music equals better health equals greater chances of enjoying life, being positive and finding romances.

Here at the Daily Forty-Niner, I went on a search to discover what puts my fellow editors into that romantic mood. And I discovered that most of the editors won't be singing the blues for Valentine's, even if, like Abbey Mastracco admitted, romance isn't exactly a part of their vocabulary. Even editor-in-chief Bradley Zint was stumped on what to pick for a romantic evening, but he was sure that he liked Beethoven anytime.

Chay Chhuon surprised me the most when he answered back with lyrics of his favorite Vanessa Williams track, "The Way That You Love." "It's more than emotion/ Lets keep this fire going/ Now we are lost inside our love/ Sweet surrender so tender." Woo! That's the spirit!

Here is a list of some of the other editors' favorite songs for Valentine's Day...

Kristen Crawford's picks: "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye; "I'll Stand By You" by The Pretenders; "Love Song" by The Cure.

Stephanie Minasian's pick: "Helplessly, Hopelessly" by Jessica Andrews.

Ann Austria's picks: "You and Me" by Lifehouse; "This I Promise You" by N'Sync.

Duke Rescola's pick: "I Love You, Baby" by Frankie Valli.

Erin McKenzie's pick: "Shelter" by Ray LaMontagne.

Niki Payne's pick: "More than Words" by Extreme.

Now, what's your favorite Valentine tunes? My picks will be posted on here tomorrow, so come back for some more inspiration. ;)
