Use Your Imagination 1
Music to Stir the Passions


Need a good backup to really convince that special someone that you've got the goods. Swans, Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra, ACT

Well, there is a wealth of classical music about love; Some is written to woo a sweetheart, some reminisces about loves past, some celebrates domestic bliss. There are mythical lovers and the purely abstract feeling of "romance".

Light up the candles, dim the lights, set the stereo just right.

But first you need to make the compilation disc...
