Love songs for Valentine’s Day
Once upon a time, in the XIVth century, British Catholics believed that every year, on February 14th, the birds were mating. And it seems like science never managed to break this conviction. Many centuries later, this tradition of celebrating love expanded to the entire European continent and beyond.
Some may criticize the commercial aspect of this celebration, but what is wrong with indulging yourself with a few romantic tunes on this freezing day? Alone, with friends or as a couple, take a break and enjoy some love. Because, as the psychologist Gordon Allport says, “Love received and love given comprise the best form of therapy”.
