Betty Who â âMissing Youâ
Missing someone dear isnât easy on a Valentineâs Day. Betty Who and her fiancĂŠ, Zak Cassar, had been in a distant relationship for some time. The two, of course, made it, and if you have any doubts about how many more days you can go without your SO, just remember: if Betty and Zak made it through those difficult times, you can, too. To make the days pass faster, come see Betty Who at 9:30 Club next month.

Paul McCartney â âMy Valentineâ
There couldnât be a better song to appear on this playlist. It's almost as if Sir Paul wrote this just for Valentineâs Day. As a matter of fact, he did. This was dedicated to his wife Nancy Shevell, written on a rainy day, which happened to be the day of love. Letâs all hope that someday soon the sun will shine for all of us.

Mac DeMarco â âStill Togetherâ
Everybody who says that being in a longterm relationship is boring hasnât met that special someone yet. To further prove the point look at Mac DeMarco who keeps getting inspiration in his relationship. We all know how it goes: Kiki and her Maccy. DeMarco performs this song last at his concerts, and legend has it that if you kiss during the performance, you will always be together with your SO. If you donât want to miss this opportunity, get your tickets here.

Do you like spending time with your SO doing nothing much at all? Of course, who doesn't? Well, Lordeâs â400 Luxâ is about just that â driving home together during a sunrise. Fun Fact: a lux is a unit of light measurement, and a sunrise or sunset is measured at about 400 lux. Can't get more romantic than that, can you? Who knows: maybe you and the light of your life are catching Lorde at her sold out show at The Anthem on April 8.

Dan Auerbach â âNever In My Wildest Dreamsâ
Ever aimed really far out of your league? Like ânever in your wildest dreamsâ out of your league? Yeah, we all have. Apparently so has Dan Auerbach. But if your dream is to see Dan performing live, the 9:30 Club can make your dreams come true when he comes down on March 22, so long as you scored a ticket before it sold out.
Outkast â âPrototypeâ
This funky slow burner from Outkast is about meeting a girl so perfect for you that if she turns out to not be perfect, she must be the prototype! It definitely inspires us all to go find the one for us, so donât waste any more time if you are still lonely and find yourself somebody perfect, too.

Oftentimes love is sweet, but sometimes it leaves you broken to pieces. If your Valentineâs Day agenda is to cry and cry again, let your feelings out to this tearjerker from Sweden. Things will get better, but for now, just give your all to LĂON and her music. Donât hesitate to listen to her whole album. This girl gets it.
HOMESHAKE â âCall Me Upâ
Anyone who has been in love knows that love knows no bounds. HOMESHAKE demonstrated this in his song âCall Me Upâ on his junior album Fresh Air, which is about âa spiritual connection two partners can share despite there being a distance between them.â Well, if want to feel a little bit closer to HOMESHAKE, give him a listen.

Ariel Pink â âBabyâ
Full disclosure: whenever this song comes on my boyfriendâs Spotify, he sings it to me, sometimes using my hand as a microphone. That alone deserves five hearts, but this song is a tribute to teen romance in its purest form and the story of how it became popular 40 years after its release is a testament to the strength of love.
