Friday Five: Romantic Songs from Abri van Straten

Today we are kicking off our February romance Friday Fives, featuring the things that warm our hearts and curl our toes, in celebration of Valentine’s Day on the 14th. We asked Kristin Bauer van Straten if she could enlist her husband, Abri, to help us out. If you have listened to Abri’s music (Sunlight and Shadows) you will understand why this thrilled us to no end.

Abri’s “Top five love songs of all time. These songs express the emotion much better than any words I could ever write.”

1. Every Breath You Take – The Police
2. Making Love Out of Nothing At All – Air Supply
3. Total Eclipse of the Heart – Bonnie Tyler
4. Still Loving You– The Scorpions
5. Is This Love – Whitesnake

And his wife, unbeknownst to Abri, is adding a 6th as it (and the video) is the reason I tracked Abri down and asked him out two years ago. “Rain” by the Lemmings!
