Examples of a Romantic Songs to Listen to in Your Hot Tub
In our last post, we discussed the reasons you need to own an Amazon Echo. One of the reasons we pointed out is that with an Echo, playing music is as simple as telling Alexa what you want to hear. We even gave an example of a romantic setting in your hot tub when you need to ask Alexa to play some romantic music. But there is one small problem; what if you don’t know what romantic music to play.
This dilemma is all too real, especially if you are a clueless male and think any song by Nickleback is romantic. Yeah, because chicks dig “How You Remind Me.” And even though you cry every time you hear Guns N’ Roses’ “November Rain” does not make it a romantic song.
Look, if you want your romantic hot tub engagement to go well, you need to be playing the tunes that tug at her heart. The only thing Nickleback songs will do is give her a sick stomach. We feel your pain, so we have come up with a list of artists and songs you need to play on your romantic hot tub outing. Get ready to set the mood.
Marvin Gaye “Distant Lover”
The title track to this great album, Let’s Get it On” rates very high on the romantic scale, but cuts a little too fast to the chase, if you know what we mean. “Distant Lover” is a ballad that kindles a more nuanced emotional flame as Gaye laments that a long-distance love affair may be coming to an end.
Paul McCartney “Maybe I’m Amazed”
Paul McCartney wrote “Maybe I’m Amazed” in 1969; it as a song that he dedicated to his wife, Linda, who remained on his side through the break-up of the Beatles. It is regarded as one of his finest love songs and even appears on Rolling Stone’s list of 500 Greatest Love Songs of All Time.
Queen “You’re My Best Friend”
John Deacon, the bassist for Queen, wrote this fine tune for his wife. The heartfelt message of love makes it one of the band’s most universal and enduring songs. It is also one of the most straightforward love songs you will hear.
Fleetwood Mac “You Make Loving Fun”
Even though many of Fleetwood Mac songs deal with the bitterness and sadness of breaking up, “You Make Loving Fun” brings us all hope of a strong and enduring relationship. If that’s what you want to believe. The song was written by Christine McVie and details her affair with the Band’s lighting director.
Led Zeppelin “Thank You”
The mere thought of a romantic song by these Gods of rock might sound ridiculous. But buried on Zep’s second album is Robert Plant’s dedication to his wife in the form of “Thank You.” Check out the lyrics, it’s some pretty heavy stuff. Not as epic as “Stairway to Heaven,” but will go a long way in your quest to melt her heart.
There is no guarantee these songs will swoon or sway the pretty lady, but they certainly won’t scare her away.
