So yeah Valentine’s day isn’t until Saturday…. but the Friday before is an even better day! And no I’m not talking about scary Friday the 13th….
it’s our annual Love Songs for Love Chapel Day!
Aawwww!!!
It’s the day that we throw out the typical QMIX playlist (I know how dare they treat my hard work! 
) and for a minimum $10 pledge we will play your song request and dedication.
This is I think one of the coolest gifts you could give anyone for Valentines Day…I mean if you think about it…flowers are nice but they are only going to last for so long (unless your sweetie was smart enough to give you a potted plant), and chocolates…though if you buy the right brand they are amazing (Godiva, See’s, Ghiradelli are top notch) but any other may send bad body image messages to the female folk.
And if you dare give any chocolate to the QMIX ladies now during our Tipton Lakes Athletic Club Fitness Challenge….we might flip out (i’ll still eat the chocolate- but I will just feel more guilty about it).
SO! What to do?? Love Songs for Love Chapel! Hey- we all know the economy has seen better days- so everyone is watching how every penny is spent. Every single part of your pledge is going straight to Love Chapel- which helps folks with emergency food needs and some financial assistance here in Bartholomew County. For more info about them you can call (812) 372-9421.
Now once you have decided to enter a dedication and pledge $10 (a very smart choice if I may say so myself… J) but you want something ORIGINAL and UNIQUE for your honey bunches of oats…..sure we can’t get enough of Edwin McCain’s I’ll Be or Lonestar’s Amazed….but those have been overplayed so much and you want your dedication to stand out!
Well, I have gone through part of my music collection and found some not-so-known Love Songs that I’m sure your sweetie will go crazy for! And All of these will be available Friday thanks to the provision of my ipod.
Secondhand Serenade- “Your Call”: I would recommend pretty much anything by him….but this one I love! I will only put it on loan though just this once to you….This one is pretty special to me and I lay a lot of claim on it.
Making April- “These Are The Nights”: If your favorite memory of your sweetheart was that one night from your beach vacation in jersey- this one is for you!! Haha- it’s a great song either way.
Dashboard Confessional- “Hands Down”: I’m sure you can remember the nerves from your first kiss with your current flame! And this one is also only on loan….so sorry.
Goot- “I Love Your Existence”: The title pretty much explains the song. And how could you NOT love a band with the name Goot?
Ron Pope- “A Drop in the Ocean”: I just discovered this guy thanks to my sweetie….all of his stuff is awesome- and this one is just my favorite of the favorites.
Angels and Airwaves -”Everything’s Magic”: A perfect song to tell your loved one how everything is magical when they are around with a slight techno rock pop twist…and if it sounds familiar yes it’s Tom from Blink-182…which I guess is back together?
Ben Folds- “The Luckiest”: Yes the verses are kinda weird lyrically…but none-the-less it’s a great song to tell someone how lucky you are to have them in your life.
Coldplay- “Sparks”: We all love Coldplay, and even though some of their songs can be “overplayed” this one never made the radio waves in the US and a perfect candidate for Love Songs for Love Chapel.
Copeland- “You Have My Attention”: Just a lovely song….and a great way guys to let your girl know that “yes- I really am paying attention to you!” (they may not be listening per-say…hehe just kidding guys!)
David Gray- “You’re The World to Me”: I love David Gray. He’s awesome….and so is this song. So say no to Tony Braxton’s “You Mean the World to Me” and opt for this one. (I’m sorry- Tony Braxton just gets on my nerves)
Foo Fighters – “Everlong”: Who can resist those that are fighting foo!?! It’s a necessary cause! Hehe- ok for realsies…a sweet love song from a band that would rather tell ya how you cause them acne problems (Breakout) and their need to acquire aviation skills (Learn to Fly). Plus it’s fun to play on Guitar Hero World Tour!
Katy Perry – “Thinking of You”: Not so much a straight up love song…but if you were in a situation where you ended it with someone and started dating someone else but wanted to tell your ex you still think about them…this is your song.
Live – “Dance with You”: If you like extravagant lyrics filled with stories of Gods and stars and sand and dancing then look no further!
One Republic- “Won’t Stop”: It’s one of the few straight love songs off their debut album….the rest are mostly about breaking up.
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus – “Your Guardian Angel”: Another song I love! Turns me into a puddle of goo whenever I hear it…so I will apologize now if it gets played during my shift and I can’t talk much afterwards because I’m recovering from goo-iness
Skillet- “Yours to Hold”: This song is for that crush that you have on your best friend but you just can’t get the nerve to let them know how you feel because of extenuating circumstances….kinda like a “Jim and Pam” relationship before they actually got together J
Spill Canvas- “Lullaby”: Just another sweet song about the gentle subtle actions that never get noticed but that make us girly girls go awwwww!!!!
Yellowcard- “Dear Bobbie”: Fabulous choice for those that have loved each other for a super long time and will continue to do so until the day they die. I love the letter that is read throughout the song…it’s too sweet!
So there you have it! A small list of not-so-known songs that express the same love as those that are insanely popular today. If you want your own copy of the songs above, on my personalities page I will post a playlist of all these songs where you can hear :30 sec samples.
Well no matter what you dedicate for your love song I just hope you do so! And who knows-maybe I’ll match someone during my shift if one of these songs gets played….you gotta listen Friday though!!
Have a great day! Keep it Rockin yall!

Nice list, sister!
