Love songs have been around for centuries, probably for as long as we were able to make sounds and music. Although there are thousands of ballads, sonnets and romanzas written about lust, longing, heartbreak and loss, we still fall for a good lovey-dovey confession of love. And since Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, Candlelight is bringing classical renditions of timeless love songs to Dubai that will make anyone weak in the knees.
Whether you’re celebrating singledom, Galentine’s Day, your one and only, or plainly are a hopeless romantic, there’s nothing more enchanting than being surrounded by heartwarming melodies and a sea of twinkling candles. From “City of Stars” from La La Land to “Por Una Cabeza” from Scent of a Woman, these romantic love songs are set to make hearts flutter.
