For some people, sounds are the strongest stimulus for setting a mood, a feeling or a state of mind. Perhaps it takes the sounds of a natural rainforest, waves lapping on a beach, a trickling waterfall, the wind whistling through the air or the calming stillness of silence to soothe you into a state of relaxation and readiness for romance.
Or maybe you'd prefer to use the songs we've listed below to create a romantic mood. Many of the lyrics would also make excellent love poems, especially if a song has some special significance within your relationship.
