It’s almost Valentine’s Day, and you know what that means–time to sidle up to your sweetheart and enjoy some heart eyes and heart-filled moments together! Whether you’re planning on staying home and getting cozy on the couch with some chocolates and a good rom-com, or you’re going out for some fine wine and dining at a fancy white tablecloth restaurant, Night is Alive has got some music to help you set the mood!
It’s You or No One – Harry Allen Trio
Amid the chaotic hecticness of our jam-packed lives, it can be hard to find the time to really settle down, relax and enjoy the company of our significant other. If you’ve been with your partner for a long time it might even become harder to appreciate them over the years. It’s easy for someone to become just another part of your routine, rather than a special person who you really cherish. Valentine’s Day gives you an opportunity to experience gratitude for that person who is always there for you, right by your side. Let yourself sink into this song, from Night is Alive’s album It Takes 3, while you and your lover embrace each other.
First Time I Saw Your Face – WJ3 All-Stars
How much fun is it to reminisce back on when you first met your special someone? Those early butterflies, blushes, stolen glances and first date jitters were really special. This song, from Night is Alive’s album Lover and Love Songs will help you to look back in time and unlock those early sweet memories. Let the smooth saxophone ease you while you bask in the bliss of nostalgia as you remember the first time you saw your lover’s face.
Whenever You Come Around – Janis Siegel, John Di Martino & Others
Maybe you just recently started dating someone new. Maybe you’re still in that sweet honeymoon stage and every time that special someone comes around you just can’t help but feel weak in the knees and overwhelmed. A new crush or relationship is such an exciting time, and this jazzy rendition of Vince Gill’s 1994 hit will be sure to help you enjoy every moment of it!
Taking a Chance on Love – WJ3 All-Stars
Love can be really risky and scary sometimes, and it might even make you wonder if it’s all worth it. Maybe you’re in a long-distance relationship, or going through a rough patch, but to get through it, you need to trust that you won’t regret taking a chance on love. This lovely little tune, from Night is Alive’s album My Ship, will help you to remember that love is worth the risk.
Can’t Hide Love – Lonnie Plaxico, Camille Thurman
No matter what you’re doing this Valentine’s Day, we at Night is Alive wish you the very best and hope that you find love. Love exists everywhere, in the cracks and crevices of daily life, in the smiles and nods with acquaintances and strangers, the hugs with friends and family, the petting of a beloved dog or cat. Squeeze your lover’s hand extra tight while you listen to the soaring vocals of Camille Thurman. This song celebrates love in all shapes and forms!
