Whether it is the melody or lyrics that captivate you, there are songs that hit us in different ways especially during Valentine\u2019s Day. For this issue, we ask readers about music that in their mind is tied to the day of hearts:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s Get It On<\/em> by Marvin Gaye. No other classic gets you in the mood for love and for celebrating companionship. \u2026I listen to Marvin Gaye regularly but [I listened to] this particular song probably a few months ago. I am single so I don\u2019t get to play that song often (laughs).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Frankie Eliptico, interim president, Northern Marianas College<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cLove Will Keep Us Alive<\/em> by the Eagles. I love this song and it defines the role of loving one another as key to making this world a better place for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Esther Muna, CEO, Commonwealth Healthcare Corp.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cLady in Red<\/em> by Chris DeBurgh because the lyrics shows the guy is absolutely in love with the girl. So hopelessly romantic, perfect for Valentine\u2019s Day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Shey Fernandez-Owens, Capital Hill<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cUnforgettable<\/em> by Nat King Cole because it\u2019s a classic love song. Reminds me of my parents and my dad playing it at home along with Frank Sinatra records.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Jessie Delos Reyes Willsey, Capital Hill<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cBetter Together<\/em> by Jack Johnson because love is the answer and it is always better when we are together.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Nicole Babauta, director, CNMI Small Business Development Center<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cCan\u2019t Take My Eyes Off of You by Lauryn Hill because this song makes me dance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Alyona Gersonde, Dan Dan<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cStand By Me<\/em> by Ben E. King. This is the song we played when I walked down to meet Jeff at our wedding. We picked this as we both love it. We heard it in the movie that came out when we got engaged. The song was even in the top 10 (1st when it came out in 1961) This song was perfect for us as it wasn\u2019t traditional and neither was our wedding, or us!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Heidi Yelin, Capital Hill<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cJust The Way You Are<\/em> by Billy Joel because it describes love in in its true form. When you love someone, you love them for who they are, all their flaws and imperfections included. Billy Joel sings about wanting someone to talk to, being there in good and bad times. Valentine\u2019s Day celebrates love and romance and this song describes that in its raw form.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Chris Concepcion, deputy director, Office of Planning and Development<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cOrdinary People<\/em> by John Legend because I usually have fights with my ex when it\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Day! But we end up making up afterwards. Something about this day makes women crazy, you know, me included. Must be the moon! (laughs). There is added pressure for couples to celebrate and women end up getting their hopes up on their man and getting disappointed. I mean, let\u2019s face it, men usually fall short on celebrating Valentine\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u2014Candy, Marianas High School teacher<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAlways Be My Baby<\/em> by Mariah Carey because it\u2019s about a loving and healthy relationship. Always Be My Baby is like a promise that, no matter what happens, I love you and I will stand beside you.\u201d<\/p>\n
