14 Kiwi Love Songs for 14 February

To mark Valentine's Day, NZ On Screen's former Content Director Irene Gardiner selected 14 Kiwi love songs spanning 40 years of NZ music history. The list is in chronological order — from an early Loxene Golden Disc winner for Ray Columbus and the Invaders, to Dragon in the 70s, and in the 80s, everyone from Split Enz and Blam Blam Blam to Prince Tui Teka. And that's not even the half of it: along the way check out a trio of classics whose take on romance is positively oceanic: 'Anchor Me', 'Sway' and 'Not Given Lightly'.
