LOVE: DAY THREE

The first thing I do in the morning? Besides drown myself in coffee?

I turn on the radio.

When my head hits the pillow at night? Rarely is there not a Pandora station on, lulling me to sleep.

I have a radio in the kitchen, one in the bathroom and my phone is never far from me. I can't sing to save my life but IV and I croon and dance and sway and twirl and belt it out into whisks and spatulas and turn a 20' x 10' kitchen into a ballroom most every night.

When I woke up on Valentine's Day morning I immediately sent Grace a text that said "The John Mayer Pandora Station is on and it's 6:30 am - Happy Valentines!"

Music and song defines so much of my life...memories of people, places, circumstances.

We live, laugh, sing, cry, write, cook and then start all over again. It seems.

So - High Fidelity style, Top 10 Love Songs:

10. "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" - Stevie Wonder
9. "Absolutely Zero" - Jason Mraz
8. "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" - John Mayer
7. "Airplanes" - Local Natives
6. "You Are The Best Thing" - Ray LaMontagne
5. "Home" - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes
4. "Best of My Love" - The Emotions
3. "Can You Tell" - Ra Ra Riot
2. "I'm In" - Radney Foster
1. "You Send Me" - Aretha Franklin

But then I went digging through my iTunes and found "Magdelena" by Ian Moore, "Pictures of You" by The Cure, "Sorry, Baby" by Dan Dyer, "Cincinnati" by Drew Kennedy, "Serious" by Duffy and "Ne Me Quitte Pas" by Nina Simone and...

Share the music you love. Hold one another close and dance, slow dance, let your faces touch, stare into one another's eyes...and let music carry you away!
