Hi Silvia,
The only thing I ā€œhaveā€ for Valentineā€™s Day is this songā€¦we have never celebrated this and when we first met or at least in the beginning I played this song for her on this day and we still often laugh about itā€¦

The biggest problem for us was the commercial aspectā€¦
and what it stands for doesnā€™t fit to us either, luckilyā€¦but playing songs and requesting them is always funā€¦SO :sunglasses:

Ps:And of course I already knew yesterday that I could post this (again) today :laughing:
Greetings,Rogier

Happy Valentineā€™s :heart:

Itā€™s an easy choice. There are many cover versions, but it will always be this because it sounds so fragile and so much played and sung from the heart. So, it will always be be this

But like a good friend, I have also found a meaning that I like and should make everyone happy

Birds, flowers and bees

A completely different explanation is that the birds start mating around February 14. As early as the 14th century, Geoffrey Chaucer wrote ā€œFor this was on Saint Valentineā€™s Day, Whan every foul cometh ther to chese his mate.ā€ The ā€˜mating urgeā€™ is also said to arise in humans on that day.

Thatā€™s interesting. I was thinking Randy Newman too. But I would nominate this one.

This would be mine. Not that my wife and I celebrate it.

Just such a brilliant song I think.

I only recently listened to those three songbooks again. Itā€™s a very, very beautiful song :slightly_smiling_face:
Itā€™s just that picturing my husband looking like a princess always spoil the mood a bit for meā€¦

Although the lyrics in the last verse of Marillionā€™s ā€˜This Train is My Lifeā€™ always gives me a romantic tear in my eye :sob:

So take my hand
Squeeze it tight
Make some light
In the darkness
Iā€™m glad you came on this trip
Donā€™t lose your grip
Donā€™t lose your grip
This train is my life
This train is my life

The contracts are drawn up
The ring is locked upon the fingerā€¦
And no more shall we part
All the hatchets have been buried now

Thereā€™s a shedload of covers of this one to choose from, but Iā€™ve gone for Dustyā€™s definitive version.
