13 Anti-Love Songs for the Anti-Valentine

Anti-Valentines Day

Walk down any store aisle the first few weeks of February and you’re bound to be inundated with an array of balloons, flowers, pink and red hearts, cards, teddy bears and just about every other super-sweet-lovey-dovey thing you can think of. It’s enough to make people who aren’t feeling the love this time of year want to go into an all black room, crawl under a blanket and hibernate for the next 30 years.

But , there is a way to fight back – and it’s with music! Yes, there are more love songs out there than you could ever count … and there are just as many songs about heartbreak – but there are also plenty of songs out there for the grumpy, cynical, “down with love” types as well. And as usual, in our goal to help musicians of all stripes, we’ve collected a list of our thirteen best anti-love, anti-Valentine’s Day songs below. Take a listen to the track, or better yet, become one with your disgust for all-things-Valentine’s Day by learning to play a few of your favorites with our sheet music downloads.

… and so, without further ado, we present: 13 Anti-Love Songs for the Anti-Valentine.
