VALENTINE'S DAY LOVE SONG
Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You"
I only thought it appropriate to choose one of the top selling love songs of all time for Valentine's Day. Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" is a cover of Dolly Parton's version from 1974, and it was done for Houston's movie The Bodyguard. In large part because of this cover, the soundtrack from that album is the highest selling movie soundtrack of all time. At the time that it hit #1 on Billboard, it remained there for 14 weeks, which was a new record at that point. The song reappeared after Houston's death in 2012, reaching #3. The lyrics to this song actually suggest a sad love song, in which the main character is expressing her love for someone she is leaving. The passion in this song shows how much the characters loves this person, and that they will always hold a special place in their heart. Which, given the plot of the movie it is from, seems pretty fitting. While I certainly hope you aren't loving someone who is going to leave you on this year's version of Valentine's Day, I hope you will enjoy this love song classic today.
