5 Songs a Day Until Valentine's - Day 1

I like love songs. No, I love love songs. I admit it. If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm sappy romantic schmuck, OKAY?!! Anyway, in honor of Valentine's Day, I wanted to do a 'Top 5' playlist of the best love songs ever. But after about 30 seconds of contemplation, I realized this would be an exercise in futility. There's just too many good ones out there. So considering it's exactly 5 days until Valentine's day, I settled for a doing a Top 5 each day. But they can't exactly be considered a 'Top 5' either because to place them in any particular rank and order would not only be unfair to the artists that wrote them, but totally inaccurate because each of the songs can be ranked in about 17 different ways depending on why I like them. So whatever. The point is that I'm going to post 5 of my favorite love songs until Valentine's Day and you can listen to them on the cute little red sappy mp3 player to the right of this post. Here are today's five (and I stress in no particular order):

1) Send Her My Love - Journey
2) In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel
3) Thank You - Dido
4) Our Love Is Here To Stay - John Pizzarelli
5) Like The Deserts Miss The Rain - Everything But The Girl
