Where would love be without music? So often, we can express our love even better when we say it with a song. Music sets the mood – exciting, soothing, sexy, sultry, bursting with energy or slow and sensual. They’re playing our song. Music connects us to a time, a place and to each other. . . and always has. Take a look at some of the top romantic tunes through the decades.
