Sing It Back – Moloko
It’s crazy to thing that this song came out the year I was born. It feels like a 80s hit that was popular for dancing at discos and nightclubs.
Nous N’Aimerons Jamais Assez La Vie -Mimis Plessas & Dakis
This ballad is full of emotion and the best version in my opinion. To think that the singer is no longer with us makes it even more memorable.
The Music Played – Mona Fong
This 1968 song is such a classic! I could easily imagine it in a movie scene with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart.
The Shadow of Your Smile – Susan Wong
A very relaxing and romantic song that speaks of love in a poetic and lyrical way.
How I Love You – Engelbert Humperdinck
This is one of the best love songs I’ve ever heard! Full of emotion and longing for the object of one’s affections, it is a truly unique musical piece.
I’d Love to Change the World – Ten Years After
This gem of a song was used in a mobile services commercial and, when I re-discovered it, I had such nostalgic memories attached to it!
Moonlight – Ariana Grande
Wow Ariana has a talent from moving gracefully between commercial tunes and soft melodic songs! This one is so tender and romantic, that it feels like I’m falling in love just by listening
