Love Songs

Berry Simpson —  June 5, 2010 — 1 Comment

OK, so here is the story about these lists of love songs. A few years
ago (2007) I decided to make a CD of love songs to give away to friends
and family in celebration of our anniversary. Since getting married was
the best decision I ever made I thought it appropriate to spread the
love.

Here are the playlists that I've used so far. I am still
working on my 2010 list. And, I am always appreciative of suggestions –
especially new songs, since I tend to hear only the songs played on NPR
or at Gold's Gym.

I hope you will go to YouTube and listen to
these, and then buy them, so you can play them with your lover and your
hearts can go soft together and your future will be brighter. And, all
that.

  • I always look forward to these compilations, Berry!
    I’m surprised to not see a Sarah McLachlan song on any of these lists. Dede & I spent many evenings when we were dating listening to her “Fumbling Towards Ecstasy” album and “Ice Cream” remains one of our favorites.
