Retro Love Playlist

Narrator: Tabitha of The Pairabirds

With Valentines fast approaching, I thought it would be appropriate to give you a few love playlists. I entitled this series of playlist Modtroment. Mod/ meaning modern. /Tro meaning retro. -Ment meaning Basement. Mod-tro-ment. Naturally, this series of playlists contain modern melodies with a retro feel. And, songs from the past, found in the basement, that need to resurface.

The third Modtroment love playlist is Retro Amour. These are songs that give the essence of love for anything and everything. May that be a person, nature, a place, a feeling. I combined modern and old songs into this harmonious list. A slick list of Jazz, Funk, and Soul. These songs, I feel, you should get to know, or be reminded of their existence.

I inadvertently put in a lot of songs that deal with Nature and the Sun. I guess this shows my heart is with the environment.

I hope you get plenty of joy out of this list, or at least find a few new songs. Naturally, I could not include every wonderful love song. If there is one you feel I should hear, please leave a comment. I love adding music to my collection.
