The meaning of I love you, the 4th BoBW Valentine compilation

In case you might not notice: I'll be off for a couple of days. I could write something about Being in love and Quality time, but actually it shouldn't be your concern where we're going.

In the meantime you can listen to some specially compiled love songs. And the ones I'm extremely fond of are "The meaning of I love you" by the Dutch Margriet Sjoerdsma, "Never give you up" by Raphael Saadiq and "I just gotta have you", the classic by Kashif.
So, you too try to say "I love you" to someone today. That is: today and any other day.
And what else do you do for Valentine Day? Presents? Special care? Or do you just ignore anything with hearts in the colour pink?
Tell me.

Enjoy the music, and have a nice Valentine weekend...

    The 3rd BoBW Valentine compilation

    Nobody ever said you need to follow the hype. Just try to bring back Valentine to his original proportions: pay some special attention to the ones you love. Simply send one your love.

    This is a collection of love songs. Some are celebrating love, like the utterly happy "Hallelujah, I Love Her So" by Ray Charles. My absolute favorite at this moment!
    Some talk about the fact that love not always ends well: for example the Belgian Viktor Lazlo, in the extremely melancholic "Canoe Rose".
    But there's always something positive in every love story. Stephan Sulke looks back to discover the better moments in his affair with "Lotte".
    So, say "I love you" to someone today. Or tomorrow. Or any following day.
    If you would use a song for that, what song would it be? What is your favorite love song? Tell me.

    Enjoy the music, and have a nice Valentine weekend...

    Time for Valentine!

    ...and there's another BfBW compilation!
    It is still within the concept of my favorite music (being jazz and funk) but this collection is conceived around a theme. Although the subject may be predictable, I hope the sixteen songs aren't. All tracks have something to do with love or Valentine...
    And as usual one song is Belgian ("Mad about you" by Hooverphonic) and one of them is Dutch ("One moment your mind" by Total Touch). Have fun. And have a nice Valentine's Day!

    ...and if you tell me in a comment what you think about it, more samplers might follow.

    EDIT: As José mentioned in the comments, I seem to have forgotten to include the covers for this compilation. Sorry for that. As I always take great pleasure in designing those covers, it would be a pity not to share them with you. Feel free to tell me what you think of those inlays...
    Here are the front and back cover to the "valentiMe" compilation.

    Voor Valentijn? Sappig ondergoed

    Agent Provocateur, het ultra sexy ondergoed-bedrijf opgezet door Joe Corré, zoon van Vivienne Westwood en Malcolm McLaren, en diens vrouw Serena Rees vierde in januari 2004 de tiende verjaardag van het gelijknamige sappige ondergoed label.
    Ter ere van dit feit werd een CD uitgegeven met de intrigerende titel 'Peep Show'. Dertien nummers telt het schijfje en ze zijn geschreven en geproduceerd door Corré en muzikant Luca Mainardi. Het merendeel van de uitvoerende artiesten is onbekend vocaal talent, gevonden middels een zoektocht onder Londense strippers.
    Gastvocalist Siobhan Fahey (Bananarama, Shakespeare's Sister) draagt bij met een cover van Joy Division's She's Lost Control'.
    Andere titels hebben namen als Oooh aaah, Star Stripper en Bikini. Het mag dan ook geen wonder heten dat Agent Provocateur belooft dat het album de luisteraar prikkelt, bekoort en opwindt, net als de andere, beter bekende producten van de firma het afgelopen tien jaar hebben gedaan. De CD is alleen in Britse zaken verkrijgbaar.
