Songs that will make you shine for your Valentine

By Jenica Felicitas and Rikka Dimalanta

Music has always been a special way to express emotions and feelings that go beyond words alone. Here are four love songs that you can use to connect with your feelings or simply enjoy to your heart’s content.

UK-based Filipina indie singer beabadoobee explores genres in her most recent album “Beatopia,” which released last year. “You’re here that’s the thing” is the last track on the album and the lyrics talk about a person’s unwillingness to commit to an official relationship even though the singer thinks they like her back. The gentle melody of this song, from the acoustic guitar to the singer’s soft vocals, makes it a sweet ending to the album.

The Filipino pop-song “Gusto With Ya” by DENY, which was released in 2021, talks about how she’s learned to be dependent on another person without letting go of her own independence. Hence why the desire to be with them rather than being by herself grew stronger.

“you!” by LANY is the first track on the pop band’s album “mama’s boy” that was released in 2020. The lead singer, Paul Klein, sings about a person who has become an significant part of his life after being there for him during a difficult time.
