Weather you like it or not, the sometimes dreaded, often expensive, but  generally pleasant V-day is right around the corner. To get you in the mood, here are a few exceedingly sentimental numbers to tug at the heart strings, just don’t cry in front of your co-workers, or you’ll never live it down. Trust me.

MP3: Tom Waits – Take it With Me

MP3: Simon & Garfunkel – Wednesday Morning 3a.m. (live)

MP3: Ryan Adams – Dear John

MP3: Sufjan Stevens – Casimir Pulasky Day

( ED Note: Dues to the disturbing situation with music blogs being attacked in recent days, we are removing some of our MP3 links, including these, for now. Sorry.)
