Six songs of love and lust for Valentine's day. Hopefully these are unusual enough that you won't find 'em on any of the gazillion-and-one other song-lists people post today. As ever—keeping that desire to be a bit unusual in mind—feel free to add suggestions in comments.

It's a little late for Valentine's Day, but what the hell? If you're sick of rose-red lips, and the moon's just a handy light in the sky when you're trying to find where you dropped the bloody car-keys. If nightingales pale into insignificance compared to an over-amplified Gretch guitar… this one's for you.

The first time I received Roses from him, I thought it was charming. The doorbell rang. I wasn't expecting anything and the delivery man handed me a long narrow box that I knew meant flowers. A dozen roses from my new boyfriend on the West Coast. "To a beautiful soul." I was touched. Charmed. I got a vase, filled it with water and put the bouquet on the table.
The next day, the doorbell rang again. What could it be? There was another long narrow box. Another dozen roses. "You are beautiful, inside and out." Slightly less charming than the day before, but still charming. I pulled out my step-ladder and climbed to reach the other vase that I kept tucked away on the highest shelf. It looked lovely on the sideboard.
