5 Songs NOT to add in your Valentine’s Mix

Valentine’s Day is less than ten nights away and creating a mix of your favorite tunes for your beloved scores high. It’s a very romantic gesture and thus we decided to create a list of five great songs that should definitely NOT be on that list to save you from any embarrassing moments. Below each song is a part of the lyrics that tells you exactly why you should avoid these songs.

1) Fast Car – Tracey Chapman.
A brilliant song, but you’re ready to shoot yourself out of depression after it ends.

You got a fast car
And I got a job that pays all our bills
You stay out drinking late at the bar
See more of your friends than you do of your kids

2) Every Breath You Take – The Police
If there ever was a song that a Stalker took a moment out of his full time job to get inspiration from, this would be it.

Every breath you take. Every move you make
Every bond you break. Every step you take
I’ll be watching you

Every single day. Every word you say
Every game you play. Every night you stay
I’ll be watching you

3) You Oughta Know – Alanis Morissette
Revenge is a dish best left out of the Valentine’s dinner meal

And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me you’d hold me
Until you died, till you died
But you’re still alive

4) House of Cards – Radiohead
The entire theme of Valentine’s Day is “Romance.” This song is exactly the opposite.

I don’t wanna be your friend
I just wanna be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts

5) Thunder Rolls – Garth Brooks
Country Music- if played backwards, we’d all end up alive and happy.

But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin’ flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

So there you go- five brilliant tunes, probably all in my top 100 songs, but ones I’d save for another occasion. Certainly not Valentine’s day.
