Coffee Break: Love is love is love is love

After Sunday's mass shootings in Orlando, we want to focus this morning's music on "love".
Perhaps Lin-Manuel Miranda said it best in his emotional acceptance speech on Sunday after winning the Tony for best original score for his Broadway hip hop musical "Hamilton".
His sonet went: "We chase the melodies that seem to find us / Until they're finished songs and start to play / When senseless acts of tragedy remind us / That nothing here is promised, not one day. / This show is proof that history remembers / We lived through times when hate and fear seemed stronger / We rise and fall and light from dying embers, remembrances that hope and love last longer / And love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside."
So for today's 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that remind us love is all you need?
Songs played
Love Is All Around - Husker Du
Love Train - The O'Jays
All You Need Is Love - The Beatles
