Valentine
The summer of 1994 was eventful for Alison and I. Our first date was February 5th 1994 and on the weekend of August 5th – six months later – I proposed. On the radio that summer I remember two songs and I honestly cant choose between them so, it’s a tie for “Valentine Song”, firstly “I Swear” by the band All 4 One:
If those lyrics arent enough, there was a dance track kicking around – it was released and re-released several times over – “UR The Best Thing” by the band D:Ream. (there’s a WAY better streaming audio version on the official D:Ream website.
The Power of Love
Valentines is certainly a time for thinking (and singing) about love. Nillson my well have a song that can stop me dead in my tracks, but another that comes close is “The Power of Love.”
Dont confuse this song – there are several with the same title (and I really like the “Frankie Goes To Hollywood” song of the same title, but its a vastly different song without the emotional punch that this one has … or who can forget the “Huey Lewis and the News” song).
The definitive version comes from Jennifer Rush
Celine Dion
Air Supply
Without You
Carrying on the theme of Valentines songs, I have to visit ont that can literally stop me dead in my tracks. It wasnt until the late 80′s that I even knew who the singer was, but it’s one that pulls tears from a deep place inside. I remember walking around campus in the summer of ’89, and hearing it from one of the dorm windows. I didnt know who the singer was, but it was that song again, and I loitered randomly outside a window in Surrey Court until the song was finished!
According to Wikipedia it’s been recorded by more than 180 artists!
The definitive version that gets me every time was a hit in 1971 for Harry Nillson
For reference though, here’s a few other recordings, none of which quite live up to Nillson.
Nolwen Leroy
Kelly Clarkson
Mariah Carey
Air Supply
