Ready and ready for your Valentine’s dinner? When are you doing this? I know, not obvious. It falls on Monday, not the ideal evening for romance. No big deal, just do this the night before. Christmas is celebrated on the 24th, and New Year’s Day on the 31st, so why not Valentine’s Day on the 13th? A beautiful Sunday is perfect. Well no, it’s the Super Bowl! And we can be many in the house. We will take advantage of it! We’re not going to reserve a one-on-one dinner. We’ve been having dinner alone for two years! In the bubble.

There is only one possibility left: tonight! In addition, the St-Louis Canadiens are playing this afternoon. You won’t miss anything. What to do so that this dinner for two does not look like all the dinners for two of a pandemic?
We dress tough. Or rather soft, not soft. The candles. Children with grandparents. The wine. And the music, of course. Nothing better to get you in the mood.
It remains to make a list. It won’t be difficult, there’s no shortage of love songs. Exactly, that’s the problem. There’s too much. And at the same time, there are not enough of them. You will understand.
Let’s go. What to start with ? Charlotte Cardin, your favorite singer? Good choice ! Which song ? Passive Aggressive ? OKAY !
hallelujah baby
We’re no longer together
It breaks the party ! Dirty-Dirty ?
So I can cry for my age, my life and my face
And I will wash off the dirty, dirty thoughts I had about you…
A bit of a complicated relationship. girl hand ?
Don’t leave me hanging on
You misunderstood me
Reproaches, a Valentine’s Day evening? Not really the time. Heart of a pirate, first? Which ? Forget me ? Do not call me ? You will never be there ? Farewell ? for an unfaithful ? You can die there ? Threesome ? We’ll forget that. Pierre Lapointe? In the forest of the unloved ? I hate my life ? Blues ? You are alone and will remain alone ?
Good. Let’s turn to the great classics: Jacques Brel.
Do not leave me
let me become
The shadow of your shadow
The shadow of your dog
A little intense, between two sushi. Song of Old Lovers ? Ah yes, it is true that it is beautiful.
Of course you took some lovers
We had to pass the time
The body must exult
Do you really want the conversation to turn to your deceptions? When we only have love, Of course, it’s very appropriate, but in the end, Brel cries so loudly that it risks waking up the baby, if the grandparents had an impediment. Sardo?
To make all the Marquis de Sade pale
To make the whores of the harbor blush…
I will love you
It’s scary. Especially if it’s a first date. Ferre?
With time, goes, everything goes away…
With time, we no longer love
The dessert may not pass. Aznavour? Yes, Aznavour! You can’t go wrong, it rhymes with love!
Love is like a day,
It’s going away, it’s going away, love
How sad is Venice in the time of dead loves
How sad Venice is when you no longer love
Now we won’t be seen together
From now on, my heart will live under the rubble
You have to know how to leave the table
When love is served
Without clinging the pitiful air
But leave quietly
It makes you feel like going to wash the dishes while bawling.
My heart Will Go On, of Celine? Do you really want to associate your couple with titanic ? Ginette? Give me tenderness ? Tenderness, on Valentine’s Day too? It lacks spice. I Will Always Love You from Whitney? Did you forget that the bodyguard gets shot and leaves his protegee? Yesterday, the Beatles? It’s not the right time to be nostalgic for your exes.
Come to think of it, there are a lot more songs for those who will dine alone on Valentine’s Day than for those who will be two.
So play Alexandra Stréliski. She provides the music, and the lyrics will be the sweet words you exchange with your loved one.
Happy Valentine’s Day, lovers and lovers!
