Some of you might even serenade under your Love's balcony with portable iPod speakers. And then there'll be some who just can't find the right gift for your special someone. Well, let me help you out there. Here is a mix-tape of fourteen of the most romantic songs in my playlist. I'll make sure to avoid cliched classic numbers in this one. Why don't you last-minute gift-seekers just burn a CD of these sweet melodies?

Thoughtless - KoЯn

What You Want - Evanescence

Cold (But Im Still Here) - Evans Blue

Man in the box - Alice in chains

Sleep - My Chemical Romance

Snuff - Slipknot

In The Shadows - The Rasmus
