Once Upon A Dream
Mary Costa and Bill Shirley
I never said these selections would be current. This song, from Sleeping Beauty, makes me want to learn to waltz. And then waltz to this. At my wedding.
Wedding Dress
Samamidon
I’ve been thinking about marriage a lot over the past year, which is laughable given my relationship history, I know. I listen to this song all the time. It started because I was entranced by the instrumentation (the trills!) but then I got on this kick and it kind of became my anthem.
Sleep Tonight
Stars
Stars always choke me up, and I always associate choking up with romance. Which is telling, maybe.
Summer Love
Justin Timberlake
Late Summer is probably one of the best times of the year. It’s a transition, which is always exciting, and more importantly it’s a transition into Autumn, the best season. Plus, Timberlake gets the marriage thing.
Must Be Love
Cassie feat. P. Diddy
I featured this song in another mix very recently but it works too well here to skip. The sound is so sensual and enveloping. The lyrics are, too.
Hotel
Broken Social Scene
It took me a long while to realize how sexy this song is.
In The New
Reverie Sound Revue
It took me a long while to realize how adorable this song is. Adults sincerely using the word “like” like “like like” is a great thing. Innocent romance is my favorite kind.
Someone To Watch Over Me
Chet Baker
I’ve adored this song for as long as I’ve known it existed and there is a specific reason but I can’t figure out exactly why, nor which performance it was that I first heard. I think that elusion might help the infatuation. It wouldn’t be the first time.
