That holiday of roses, cards, and long wait times at restaurants with your loved one is looming. The pressure of Valentine’s Day makes it for a disappointing experience because if your night is dependent on going out, the wait makes the food tastes bland, and the noise makes it impossible to communicate forcing you to scream or opt for silence and an awkward dinner.

To save time, money, and create a true romantic setting its best to stay home. Control the environment and take charge of the situation. Going out is for married couples with kids who want to get away from their daily fights and headaches. However, being young presents financial limitations, which impact available housing and force you into the backseat of cars or other compromising places out in the public.

Whether you decide to stay home or go out, the “mood” is dependent on music. Today’s must have song on your playlist is If I Ever Fall in Love by Shai.

If I Ever Fall in Love has a smooth soft opening that slowly builds through its repetitive chorus into a crescendo that, has you eyes shut and bellowing and hitting the “my friend” high note at the top of your lungs. You’re singing voice will not match the high key sound. You don’t sound like the group, but you don’t give a damn and that’s what you want from the night. You want to give in to the ridiculous, and a bit of the obnoxious because laughter is attraction when It’s in subtle doses.

If it’s a night out with your loved one, If I Ever Fall in Love is perfect because you can deviate from the mundane and repetitive wave that life has become.

If it’s a first date, you must break the ice and get out of the static flow that a first date can have. It gives you the opportunity to act a bit of a fool but most importantly, evaluate your partners music taste. If they are not feeling the song, it’s not meant to be.

If you are by yourself and have no one, screw it. Enjoy the night, stay in, or go out but make the night about you and playing a jam, singing and ripping down the highway is the truest form of freedom.

The key is to sing. Shock your system and get you in a playful state of mind. Get out of your skin. Get out of your mind and just be.
