Holiday Hash - Love and Presidents

I know there is an anti-Valentine's day movement astir, but I for one could never hate a day that revolves largely around chocolate and treating yourself to nice things (or being treated by others as the case may or may not be). And since V-day falls this year on the same weekend as Presidents' Day, it makes it a lovely three day weekend for everyone. So I post these songs in honor of this weekend that I hope you all find a way to enjoy, whether you're single or not.

Theme Thursday - Waltz

It feels like at most of the concerts I've gone to in the past month at least one band has incorporated a waltz into their set. It also happens that this waltz is typically one of my favorite songs that they perform. While I unfortunately don't have recordings of any of the waltzes I've seen performed live, I am still going to make that the theme for today. As always, please feel to leave future theme ideas or additional songs that fit the theme.
