… sort of.

Think about love and Romeo and Juliet always seem come to mind. The story is ancient, but still continues to speak to us; it continues to be remade and recycled even to this day. As we all know, it’s doesn’t end well for the lovers. So, if you’re making Valentine’s Day plans, better steer clear of wooing your partner with references to R. or J.

Instead of the play, you could put on this music by Tchaikovsky, which has become the unofficial music of passionate love, found in all sorts of cartoons, commercials, and other entertainment (the best example of this being, of course, Ren & Stimpy.)

And, if you’re single this weekend, you can still enjoy this music, knowing those blasted lovers don’t get to experience the happiest of endings.
