Steve, the complete and utter romantic that he is, made me a playlist—something that is akin to the mix tapes of yore. It’s impossible to pick my top 7 favorites, but here are 7 that make my heart melt (in no particular order). I’ve included YouTube links for those who wish to get all mush-butt like me, just click on the song title.

1. Chicago, “Make Me Smile”
2. Eels, “I Like the Way This Is Going”
3. Brandi Carlile, “Closer To You”
4. Herb Alpert, “This Guy’s In Love With You”
5. Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova, “Falling Slowly”
6. Norah Jones, “I’ve Got To See You Again”
7. Corinne Bailey Rae, “Are You Here?”

I love you all, some more than others.
