Sorry to all your cynics out there, but I really love Valentine’s Day. And so in honour of this romantic day I figured I’d bring you some of my favourite Aussie love songs. I hope they make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside!
“Even When I’m Sleeping” by Leonardo’s Bride is one of those tracks I used to play a lot when my husband and I were doing the long-distance thing. It’s so gorgeous without being overly gooey and sentimental.
“Please Don’t Ask Me” is one of those songs that always makes me cry. I’m sure we’ve all been victims of unrequited love, that most painful love of all! So keep your tissues handy when Farnsy stops talking and starts singing!
Yes it’s a little bit corny, but “I Honestly Love You” is a bit of a guilty pleasure. Peter Allen was one of Australia’s finest songwriters, and Olivia Newton-John’s version is hard to beat. Although it is a little hard to take her seriously in that 80s headband!
Watching “Truly, Madly, Deeply” again makes me miss Savage Garden a little bit. Gee those boys could write a pop song. They had plenty of tunes eligible for my love songs list, but I think this may be my favourite.
“It’s Only The Beginning” by Deborah Conway managed to perfectly capture that giddy rush of falling in love. It’s still so much fun to listen to and really, love’s all about fun, isn’t it?
