Happy St. Valentine's Day, 2011...

Just wanted to send out some Valentine wishes. Hope a lovely day is had by all.

"Men always want to be a woman's first love - What women like is to be a man's last romance."

~ Oscar Wilde

(The Jam has been my favorite group since they happened on the scene in the late 70's, and Paul Weller is king in my book. This is such a lovely and romantic song, and this rendition is beautiful.)

"Let the world stop turning, Let the sun stop burning, Let them tell me love's not worth going through. If it all falls apart, I will know deep in my heart, The only dream that mattered had come true...In this life I was loved by you."

(This video is of Russian classical pianist, Evgeny Kissin, playing one of many pieces I dig by my favorite classical composer, Chopin. Kissin is far and away my favorite of the contemporary pianists. There are so many entries that could be made to the list of romantic classical works, but Chopin's music really resonates with me.)

"He who love touches walks not in darkness."

~ Plato

"For you see, each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday, and less than tomorrow."

(Not necessarily a typical love song for a Valentine's Day, but it is about 'Love' and...I just like the song...so there!)
