Valentine's Day: the 2024 playlist

Celebrate love with WECB’s special Valentine’s Day playlist, featuring a wide spectrum of musical genres.

Heart – Crazy on You

From their first album, Dreamboat Annie, the Wilson sisters created hits. This is the case of “Crazy On You”, in which Nancy sings about the idea of forgetting the problems of the world for a night. A delicate and powerful Heart song ideal for Valentine’s Day.

Bruce Springsteen – Two Hearts

“Two hearts are better than one” chants Bruce Springsteen with conviction, in the excellent “Two Hearts”, present on his first double album, The River. A short, direct, and terribly effective title.

Depeche Mode – Somebody

In 1984, Martin Gore sang about finding the perfect love in “Somebody.” A piano-vocal ballad with lively vocals, which remains one of the notable tracks of the album Some Great Reward, with “Blasphemous Rumors” and “Master and Servant”.

Foreigner – I Want To Know What Love Is

Tube alert! In 1984, Foreigner capsized hearts around the world with “I Want To Know What Love Is”, an intensely kitsch ballad, whose theme evident in its title made it a Valentine’s Day must-have, with an unforgettable chorus.

Van Halen – Ain’t Talkin’ ’bout Love

Not talking about love, isn’t that already talking about love? You can scratch your head indefinitely, or choose to shake it happily to this real Van Halen hit, with which the quartet shows from its first album that it can create real must-haves.

Queen – You’re my Best Friend

Gentle and heady ballad of the flamboyant and memorable A Night At The Opera, “You’re My Best Friend” is a song by John Deacon. If its title may mislead the inattentive listener, it is indeed a piece that the bassist wrote for his wife.
