Description
Mike Squillante's "Valentine's Day" captures every essence of what it is to be single on the most overrated day of the year. From designated dates to cryptic horoscopes in magazines of doubt, the song is an ode to the desperation of a jaded lover in a helpless search for a solution to his dilemma. With rich, story-driven lyrics and an irresistible hook, "Valentine's Day" will be stuck in your head for days, especially if you happen to be alone on the day itself.
