California English: Valentine’s Day Edition
By Kyle KrainockFebruary 14, 2012
In celebration of Valentine’s Day, I’ve compiled a list of my favorite songs that celebrate love and all of the positive things that come with it. For those of you who do not have a special someone on this day, I feel these songs will still inspire feelings of hope about love in the future. As John Lennon once sang, “Love is the flower you’ve got to let grow.” I hope these tunes will help your flower bloom like a cherry tulip.
