The tunes have been cranking all day today and I’ll be honest, I’ve stopped a couple of times to belt out a love song or two (actually at last count it was 7!).

Music speaks to me at an almost primal level.  It has the power to instantly connect me to a memory or an emotion.  I chalk it up to being a musician at heart.

Wherever you are today and whomever you love, I hope you have musical Valentine’s Day!

Here’s a sample of the songs that made me stop in my tracks and sing along:

Adele: To Make You Feel My Love
