Love is in the air. Hearts abound. What would Valentine’s Day be without roses, chocolate and sparkly jewelry? Yet, while buying tokens to show affection is commonplace, setting the mood for giving those items is key.
If music weren’t integral to wooing and as Marvin said, “getting it on” then the music business would have never gotten off the ground. Think of every wedding you’ve ever been to, the couple always has its special song. That song means more to the couple than it will to anyone else for a whole myriad of reasons.
