Oceans of Love and Love Again
Picture this: You've orchestrated the perfect at-abode engagement for your significant other, featuring candles, vino, and a lovingly habitation-cooked (or lovingly ordered via app) dinner. Only simply as your person texts you that they're on their mode, you realize that you take no idea what sort of music to play to retain the romantic ambience. After all, you tin can't have your early on 2000s guilty pleasure songs come up up on shuffle while you're trying to stare lovingly into your partner's eyes (nothing ruins the mood similar the distinctive "youuuuuu" at the beginning of "Soulja Boy." And aye, that example is based on a true story).
Anyhow, I've got you covered with my listing of the about beautiful, hopeful, and achingly romantic songs ever written (in my apprehensive stance). You'll take your crush/partner/Bumble appointment swooning.
"ROS" - Mac Miller
Nigh romantic lyrics: "I'm in your heart, I'k in your dream/ So fuck the world it's you and me"
Rationale: When the exterior world becomes savage, many couples plow inward and develop that us-against-the-world mindset. In "ROS," Mac Miller captures what it's like to experience close to someone, spending much of this song describing the petty things he loves about his partner, like her "stained drinking glass" optics, butterscotch-scented skin, and kiwi-flavored lips. The lyrics are intimate in every way, and Mac delivers them with his feature rawness.
"These Arms of Mine" - Otis Redding
Nearly romantic lyrics: "These arms of mine, they are lonely/ Lonely and feeling bluish/ These arms of mine, they are yearning/ Yearning from wanting you"
Rationale: This song hits me right in the breast. It's incommunicable not to feel your arms and chest aching like Reddings' when he sings about burning to hold his lover. The music crescendos around his smoothen vocalism as he begs, "And if you would let them concord you lot/ Oh, how grateful I would exist." It'south such a sweetness, earnest plea for love, and its focus on physicality is pretty sexy, besides.
"Ex Factor" - Lauryn Hill
Most romantic lyrics: "Run across, no i loves you more than than me/ and no one always will"
Rationale: No one knows how to obliterate me emotionally quite like Lauryn Hill does. In "Ex Factor" (and on this whole album, allow'south be existent), she's vulnerable, baring all her devotion to her fellow. We recognize straightaway that her human relationship is toxic, just Hill's honesty is so beautiful that we apprehensive listeners have no option but to sit down, transfixed, and listen.
"Skinny Love" - Bon Iver
Most romantic lyrics: "Told my dear to wreck information technology all/ Cut out all the ropes and allow me fall"
Rationale: When this song came out in 2007, I was in center school. I could non stop singing information technology as I traipsed through my house, well-nigh-tears equally I crooned well-nigh "the sink of claret and crushed veneer," as though my twelve years on world had been rife with tragic love diplomacy.
Nevertheless, this song still holds up. Bon Iver is a master at depicting what information technology'south like to fully give up yourself to someone while aware that they may hurt you in the end. I still sing this song while I lounge around my niggling studio apartment, drawing on real-life experiences this time, though I assure you that none of them involved claret-filled sinks or crushed veneers.
"Leather and Lace" - Stevie Nicks & Don Henley
Almost romantic lyrics: "Lovers forever, face to face/ My city, your mountains/ Stay with me, stay/ I need y'all to dearest me/ I demand you today/ Give me to me your leather, take from me my lace"
Rationale: This is Stevie Nicks' lyricism at its nigh poignant. She wrote "Leather and Lace" herself and and then performed it with Don Henley (of The Eagles) while they were dating. This duet is beautiful in and of itself, but their chemistry and passion for each other makes it all the more than impactful. An ex played this for me once, unprompted, and I remember thinking, My God, dude. Why would you lot practice this to me?
Wrecked.
The Way You Look This night" - Frank Sinatra
Most romantic lyrics: "Lovely, never, never modify/ keep that breathless charm/ won't you please suit information technology?/ 'Cause I dear you/ Just the fashion you look tonight"
Rationale: Ah, yeah. The song that plays at every hymeneals on earth. Popular songs are popular for a reason, though, and this one endures because of the accepting, unconditional sort of love that information technology depicts. In addition to Sinatra'south version, I'yard besides fractional to Fred Astaire'south rendition in the 1936 film Swing Time and the sweet all the same tongue-in-cheek visuals go on with it.
"Everlasting Light" - The Black Keys
Nigh romantic lyrics: "Let me be your everlasting calorie-free/ Your train going abroad from pain/ Beloved is the coal that makes this train gyre/ Let me exist your everlasting light"
Rationale: If you read the lyrics without the music, the whole vocal sounds kind of like a late nineteenth century poem. The love in this song is so pure and hopeful, and you'll definitely gain cool-points by playing The Black Keys on a first date.
"To Know Him Is To Love Him" - Amy Winehouse
Almost romantic lyrics: "To know, know, know him/ Is to love, love, dearest him/ Just to see that smile/ Makes my life worthwhile"
Rationale: No one does unbridled dearest like Amy Winehouse. Her soulful voice takes center stage in this Phil Spector cover, and if you're not already in love, it will make yous desire to exist.
"Like Real People Do" - Hozier
Most romantic lyrics: "I will not ask you where you came from/ I volition non ask you, neither should you/ Love, just put your sweet lips on my lips/ We should but kiss like real people do"
Rationale: Here, Hozier is trying to convince his honey interest to forget that they both have pasts (who doesn't?) and to only love him. In that location'southward a sense that both people in the song consider themselves odd in some way (over again, who doesn't?), and that they've been searching for partners similar each other for ages. "Like Real People Do" reminds us of how miraculous it feels to love and be loved back.
"Can't Take My Eyes Off You" - Franki Valli & The Four Seasons
Most romantic lyrics: "Y'all're just too good to exist true/ Can't take my eyes off of you/ You'd exist like heaven to bear upon/ I wanna hold yous and so much"
Rationale: To quote every Boomer from my home land of New Bailiwick of jersey: They just don't make 'em similar this anymore. And information technology's truthful―this song manages to residual emotional and sexual yearning without being rough.
And but... the gratitude Valli feels when he sings about loving his girl then much that he thanks God he'southward alive. My Lord. They actually merely do not make 'em quite like this anymore.
"Forrest Gump" - Frank Bounding main
Most romantic lyrics: "My fingertips and my lips/ They burn from the cigarettes/ Forrest Gump, you run my mind, boy/ Running on my mind, boy"
Rationale: This is Frank Bounding main's most criminally underrated song and I volition fight anyone who has anything negative to say about information technology. In fact, I once fabricated a very loud, spirited defence of this song when I was in loftier school, right later Ocean's ill-received performance of information technology at the 2013 Grammys.
The song is told from the perspective of Jenny in the 1994 film Forrest Gump. It's well-nigh a cleaved, tired person coming back to their pure, indelible honey afterward a swell deal of fourth dimension has passed. It's especially meaningful, in my opinion, because Body of water penned the song in the wake of his very public coming-out.
"Have Me The Way I Am" - Ingrid Michaelson
Near romantic lyrics: "'Cause I love you more than I could e'er promise/ And you lot take me the manner I am"
Rationale: What a throwback! Ingrid Michaelson was responsible for some of the sweetest manic-pixie-dream-girl love songs of the early 2000s, and this one was her most pop. Michaelson rejoices in having found a partner who loves her, flaws and all, and she responds in kind, promising to repair what her partner breaks and buy him Rogaine when his pilus starts falling out. It's a hope to love someone forever.
"I'm Not Dead" - P!nk
Almost romantic lyrics: "Right across the cigarette and the devilish smile/You lot're my crack of sunlight/ Yous can do the math a 1000 means/ Simply you can't erase the facts/ That others come up and others become/ Simply y'all always come back"
Rationale: This is my favorite era of P!nk'southward music. In "I'm Not Dead," she writes a frank, unapologetic love song well-nigh being a flawed homo securely in honey with another flawed human being. Waxing poetic about her and her young man's (her futurity husband, Cary Hart, by the style) tattoos and alluding to her own mental illness, P!nk eschews all tired clichés nigh love in favor of something far more accurate and affecting.
"Hannah Hunt" - Vampire Weekend
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "A human of organized religion said hidden eyes could see what I was thinkin'/ I just smiled and told him/ That was only true of Hannah"
Rationale: Oh, Ezra Koenig, how you wound me with your beautiful words! In this song, our narrator seems to be moving around the U.S. with his beloved Hannah until she grows homesick for the eastward coast. Having lived in New England for around 7 years, I'chiliad partial to this vocal for its "freezing beaches" references, merely it's also a gentle tribute to the way time glides away when you're with someone y'all love.
"A Song For You lot" - Donny Hathaway
Most romantic lyrics: "I love yous in a place/ Where there's no space or time/ I dearest you for my life/ You're a friend of mine/ And when my life is over/ Remember when we were together"
Rationale: There have been many versions of this song, just this one'south my favorite. It was also Amy Winehouse'due south favorite. Donny Hathaway sings this with such feeling that one can't help only feel he'south reciting a memoir when he sings his apology to a woman he neglected to settle down with because he was likewise busy performing around the earth.
"Maps" - Aye Aye Yeahs
Most romantic lyrics: "Don't stray/ My kind'due south your kind/ I'll stay the aforementioned."
Rationale: Yeah, this song is 90 percentage just Karen O singing "Wait, they don't dear you lot similar I love you," but it'southward and so powerful! If you say something the right manner, and the accompanying music is adept enough, there's no need to embellish much more. Proof: Beyoncé clearly nods to this song in her 2016 single "Hold Up." "Maps" endures, over a decade after, across genres.
"If I Ain't Got Yous" - Alicia Keys
Virtually romantic lyrics: "Some people desire diamond rings/ Some just want everything/ But everything ways cypher/ If I ain't got you"
Rationale: This song is all the more touching when yous remember that she wrote information technology just as she was beginning to go famous. She promises that her renown―the fruit of all her labor―along with promises of riches, jewelry, or endless life would all hateful zilch if she didn't accept her homo.
"Pine Tree Lines" - Told Slant
Nearly romantic lines: "I am the daughter my parents fabricated/ Why don't you love me anyhow/ 'Cause I love the mode you take up space"
Rationale: Devastating genius. Pb singer Felix Walworth delivers this vocal so earnestly that his vocalism literally cracks during that last line. I've never heard a simpler or more than startlingly authentic depiction of adoration than loving the style someone takes up infinite.
"Inevitable" - Shakira
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "To be fifty-fifty more than honest/ No one thinks nearly you/ The manner I do" (Translated from Castilian)
Rationale: Shakira spends most of this song laying out all her imperfections―that she doesn't know how to make coffee, that she doesn't understand soccer, that she oversleeps, etc.―and so proceeds to ask her homo to love her anyway.
"I Found You" - Alabama Shakes
Near romantic lyrics: "I call up all them lonely days/ I traveled out on my own/ Then y'all brought me everything/ Y'all made my house a home"
Rationale: This is a celebration of finally finding your person. Then who improve to listen to it with than your person? Romantic, indeed.
"Rag Doll" - Franki Valli & The 4 Seasons
Most romantic lines: "I'd modify her sad rags/ Into glad rags if I could/ My folks won't let me/ 'Cause they say that she'due south no good."
Rationale: Another Four Seasons song, yeah. I'g from Jersey. Sue me.
Franki Valli declares his unconditional love for a girl much poorer than he is, fantasizing about replacing her tattered clothes with lace and finery. In spite of her poverty, he ends the vocal by crying, "I love you but the manner you are."
He wants to give everything to someone who can offering him nothing fabric. All he wants is her.
"Since I've Been Loving Y'all" - Led Zeppelin
Near romantic lyrics: "But babe, since I've been loving you, yeah/ I'm virtually to lose my worried listen/ Oh, yep"
Rationale: Human, these lyrics look so underwhelming when written downwardly sans musical accompaniment. It's tragic.
What makes this song so romantic, to me, is the organ and bass work by John Paul Jones pair with Robert Plant's searing vocals. It'south a power blues song that hits you right in the gut. If desperate desire were a audio, this would be it.
"You Got Me" - Erykah Badu and The Roots
Most romantic lines: "If you don't worry 'bout where/ I been or who I saw or/ What club I went to with my homies/ Baby, don't worry, you know that yous got me"
Rationale: I cried when I saw this alive. Erykah reassures her boyfriend during the chorus that she'll ever be loyal to him, while Black Idea (pb MC of The Roots) uses his verses to tell the story of a lifelong romance. It'due south the best love vocal in hip hop, easily down.
"(You lot Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman - Aretha Franklin
Most romantic lyrics: "When my soul was in the lost and establish/ Yous came along to claim it/ I didn't know just what was wrong with me/ 'Til your kiss helped me name it"
Rationale: Nosotros should heal ourselves rather than expect around for someone to heal us, but that doesn't hateful that love can't exist a healing experience. Information technology's really romantic to thank someone for making you feel good, and that'south precisely what this song (written by the flawless Carole Male monarch) is most.
"Jade" - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Most romantic lyrics: "We can't assist only follow, she's Buddha, just watch her/ She moves like an erstwhile gypsy adult female but swears she'south a girl/ And all that she asks we'll allow her/ For Jade is the girl of the hour"
Rationale: Alex Ebert wrote this song for Jade Castrinos when they were both nevertheless dating and still the frontpeople of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. The vocal is a quiet love letter to Castrinos―you could imagine Ebert singing it to her at night by the campfire while the residual of the band is asleep (that'south this band's vibe, really). It's a shame that we no longer get to scout the sweetness relationship between these talented musicians, just at to the lowest degree we'll always have this hippie love song.
"Wild Horses" - The Rolling Stones
Most romantic lyrics: "Graceless lady/ You know who I am/ You know I can't permit you/ Slide through my easily/ Wild horses/ Couldn't drag me abroad"
Rationale: Ane of the wildest bands of the '60s and '70s also happened to write one of the most poignant songs about honey and devotion. This is about a long, deep intimacy betwixt 2 people, and of being physically unable to resist the person you adore.
"Jim Bogart" - The Front Bottoms
Most romantic lyrics: "I would sleep better on your flooring/ Than I would ever in my bed/ And if your carpet makes my face itch/ Information technology'd still be sky in my head"
Rationale: "Jim Bogart" opens with the in a higher place lyrics, sung with pb singer Brian Sella's signature raw vocals. He abandons all pride in his love for this girl, promising to do his guitar every dark, to slumber on her floor without complaint, and to to ignore his medico's advice―all to win her dear. Nosotros shouldn't have to debase ourselves for dear (*rolls optics* yeah, yes yeah), merely this is art. And if we're being honest, this sentiment is relatable for anyone who'due south prayed for their love to be reciprocated.
"Loving You" - Elvis Presley
Most romantic lyrics: "If I'm seen with someone new/ Don't exist blue, don't you exist blueish/ I'll be faithful, I'll be true/ Always truthful, true to yous"
Rationale: Elvis tells his beloved not to go jealous or to believe the hype around him and other women, reassuring her that she's the one for him. Although multiple sources have claimed that Elvis did, indeed, cheat on his wife, Priscilla, this remains his sweetest honey song.
"Melissa" - The Allman Brothers Ring
Most romantic lyrics: "Knowing many, loving none/ Bearin' sorrow, havin' fun/ But dorsum home he'll e'er run/ To sweet Melissa"
Rationale: Here, the Allman Brothers sing most a traveling musician who can't get over his sweetheart no matter how many other women he meets. She e'er ends up resurfacing in his listen, and eventually, he e'er returns to her.
"My Onetime Homo" - Joni Mitchell
Almost romantic lyrics: "He's my sunshine in the morning/ He'southward my fireworks at the stop of the day/ He'south the warmest chord I ever head/ Play that warm chord, play and stay, baby"
Rationale: Mitchell's soaring mezzo-soprano meanders through a portrait of her human relationship in this vocal, insisting throughout that, "We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall." She's maxim that she doesn't need external validation of the relationship―this homo gives her all she needs to feel secure in their bail.
"Devil In a New Dress" - Kanye W, Rick Ross
Most romantic lyrics: "Put your hands to the constellations/ The fashion you look should exist a sin, yous my sensation"
Rationale: Kanye Westward is a pretty polarizing figure, but this is still one of my favorite albums of all fourth dimension. It's a bittersweet tribute to his infamous relationship with Bister Rose, and this vocal encapsulates the often-sexy, always-complicated connection between two people who aren't skillful for each other, notwithstanding can't stay away from one another.
"Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop)" - Erykah Badu, Common
Most romantic lyrics: "But that is all behind me/ 'Crusade now there is no other/ My love is his and his is mine/ A friend became the/ Love of my life"

This vocal is virtually 2 lifelong best friends who find their style back to each other after time spent autonomously. With her famously beguiling voice, Erykah Badu captures the joy of being truly known by ane'southward partner.
"A Sunday Kind of Love" - Etta James
Most romantic lyrics: "I desire a Lord's day kind of love/ A love to last past Saturday nighttime/ I want to know it'due south more than beloved at first sight"
Rationale: We've all been at this point before. If Etta James were to have written this vocal today, she would have been explaining that she was ill of ane-night-stands and Tinder/Bumble/Hinge dates that go nowhere. She'd exist proverb she was tired of sweaty strangers in bars shouting into her ear, over deafening music, request if she wants to take a shot.
Instead, she'd want something substantial. Someone to relax and binge Schitt's Creek reruns with on the weekends.
May we all find that Sunday kind love.

"She Will Be Loved" - Maroon v
Most romantic lyrics:"I don't mind spendin' everyday / Out on your corner in the pourin' rain"
Rationale:I retrieve listening to this song in middle schoolhouse, wishing that the boy I had a beat on would love me enough to stand up outside my window in the rain. In hindsight, that would accept been bad-mannered and inconvenient to explain to my female parent, and these days I would probably find such beliefs creepy (when I'm in my pajamas in my apartment, peacefully eating Takis and watching The Sopranos, the terminal matter I need is a man standing outside, watching me from the street similar something out of The Exorcist), merely the sentiment of this song still stands.
"Because the Night" - Patti Smith

"Stay" - Rihanna, Mikky Ekko
Most romantic lyrics: "Not actually sure how to experience virtually it/ Somethin' in the way you lot motility/ Makes me experience like I can't alive without y'all"
Rationale: Love isn't a formula. At that place'south no real logic to why we autumn in love with some people only not others, and Rihanna hits the nail on the head when she says it'due south just "something in the way [he] move[south]." It's reminiscent of The Beatles' song "Something." Speaking of which...
"Something" - The Beatles
Most romantic lyrics: "Something in the way she moves / Attracts me similar no other lover / Something in the fashion she woos me / I don't want to leave her at present"

All he knew was that the love was in that location, and that that should be enough.

"Androgynous" - The Replacements
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "And they beloved each other so/ Androgynous/ Closer than we know, honey each other and then/ Androgynous"
Rationale: This vocal is about ii non-binary people falling in love, which is pretty cool for a vocal from 1984. Our chief characters, archetypically named Dick and Jane, love each other regardless of gender. The Replacements brand a compelling argument nearly why traditional gender roles and clothing should make no difference if you're truly in love with someone.
"I'll Be Seeing You" - Billie Holiday
Almost romantic lyrics: "I'll find you in the morning sunday/ In every lovely summertime's 24-hour interval/ In everything that's right and gay/ I'll always think of you"

Nigh romantic lyrics: "You've got to move it slowly/ Accept it in my body like information technology's holy/ I've been waiting for you for the whole week/ I've been praying for y'all, you're my Dominicus candy"

"Delight, Please, Please" - James Brown
Most romantic lyrics: "Baby please, babe delight, please me/ Baby please, babe please don't go/ Don't get, I said baby, don't baby/ I love you then"
Rationale: This song is nearly entirely comprised of James Brownish repeating "delight," and, supposedly, he got a lot of flack from his producers near that before its release. Merely, similar the Aye Yeah Yeahs' "Maps," this runway's magic lies in the passion with which it'due south delivered–and James Dark-brown is zip if not passionate.
"I Will Always Dearest Y'all" - Dolly Parton
Most romantic lyrics: "And I hope life will care for yous kind/ And I promise that you accept all/ That yous ever dreamed of/ Oh, I do wish y'all joy/ And I wish you happiness/ But above all this/ I wish you love"
Rationale: Without a doubt, y'all're familiar with Whitney Houston's rendition of "I Will Always Love You," simply I love Dolly Parton's soft-spoken, country version as well. Where Houston belts, Parton croons, making this a peachy alternative for when you want to hear this vocal on a quiet evening in.
"Songbird" - Fleetwood Mac
Most romantic lyrics: "And I wish you all the love in the world/ But most of all, I wish information technology from myself/ And the songbirds keep singing/ Like they know the score"
Rationale: Fleetwood Mac's members were notorious for hooking up within their ranks, and Christine McVie (writer and primary vocalist on this song) was no exception. This is a unique love vocal, because it does unconditional beloved unlike whatever other: It illustrates how it's entirely possible to love someone and desire the all-time for them while accepting, albeit sadly, that you might not be that best matter.
"First Day of My Life" - Bright Eyes
Most romantic lyrics: "Just I realized I need you/ And I wondered if I could come up home"
Rationale: This Bright Eyes track makes me wish I was ameliorate at playing guitar. Frontman Conor Oberst makes a frank plea for his beloved, telling her, "I'g glad I didn't dice before I met you," and request for permission to arroyo. It'south an exercise in startling honesty, and the result, like the whole album, is profound.
