Ahhhh yes, love is in the air, cartoon hearts are floating around your face and shop windows are showered in a glow of pinks and reds. While this image is lovely, the typical Valentine’s Day gushiness can come across as a bit obnoxious at times (to put it lightly). And although some may be spending the day bathing in this holiday’s cheesy romance (turn up that Marvin Gaye!), we at the Clog thought we’d give the gift of good tunes. To lovers and lamenters alike — Happy Valentine’s Day!
Single and staying in
