I Just Wanna Make These Music Lovers Remember Again
Motion-picture show this: You've orchestrated the perfect at-abode date for your significant other, featuring candles, wine, and a lovingly home-cooked (or lovingly ordered via app) dinner. But merely as your person texts you that they're on their way, you realize that you have no idea what sort of music to play to retain the romantic ambience. After all, you can't accept your early 2000s guilty pleasure songs come 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 Male child." And aye, that example is based on a true story).
Anyway, I've got you covered with my listing of the near beautiful, hopeful, and achingly romantic songs ever written (in my humble opinion). You'll accept your shell/partner/Bumble date swooning.
"ROS" - Mac Miller
Almost romantic lyrics: "I'thousand in your heart, I'm in your dream/ So fuck the world it'south you lot and me"
Rationale: When the exterior world becomes brutal, many couples plough inward and develop that us-confronting-the-world mindset. In "ROS," Mac Miller captures what it's like to feel close to someone, spending much of this song describing the little things he loves most his partner, like her "stained drinking glass" eyes, butterscotch-scented skin, and kiwi-flavored lips. The lyrics are intimate in every way, and Mac delivers them with his characteristic rawness.
"These Arms of Mine" - Otis Redding
Most romantic lyrics: "These arms of mine, they are lone/ Alone and feeling bluish/ These artillery of mine, they are yearning/ Yearning from wanting you lot"
Rationale: This song hits me correct in the breast. It's impossible not to feel your artillery and breast aching like Reddings' when he sings about burning to hold his lover. The music crescendos effectually his smoothen vocalization as he begs, "And if yous would let them hold you/ Oh, how grateful I would exist." Information technology's such a sweet, earnest plea for love, and its focus on physicality is pretty sexy, also.
"Ex Cistron" - Lauryn Hill
Nearly romantic lyrics: "Meet, no ane loves you more me/ and no one ever will"
Rationale: No one knows how to obliterate me emotionally quite like Lauryn Loma does. In "Ex Cistron" (and on this whole album, permit's exist real), she'south vulnerable, baring all her devotion to her fellow. We recognize straightaway that her human relationship is toxic, merely Hill'due south honesty is so cute that we apprehensive listeners have no choice but to sit down, transfixed, and listen.
"Skinny Love" - Bon Iver
Near romantic lyrics: "Told my love to wreck information technology all/ Cut out all the ropes and allow me autumn"
Rationale: When this song came out in 2007, I was in centre schoolhouse. I could non stop singing it equally I traipsed through my business firm, near-tears as I crooned about "the sink of blood and crushed veneer," as though my twelve years on earth had been rife with tragic love affairs.
Nevertheless, this song still holds upwards. Bon Iver is a master at depicting what it'south like to fully surrender yourself to someone while aware that they may hurt you in the end. I withal sing this song while I lounge around my petty studio apartment, drawing on real-life experiences this time, though I clinch you that none of them involved blood-filled sinks or crushed veneers.
"Leather and Lace" - Stevie Nicks & Don Henley
Near romantic lyrics: "Lovers forever, face to confront/ My city, your mountains/ Stay with me, stay/ I demand you to dearest me/ I need y'all today/ Requite me to me your leather, accept 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 cute in and of itself, but their chemical science and passion for each other makes it all the more impactful. An ex played this for me once, unprompted, and I call up thinking, My God, dude. Why would y'all do this to me?
Wrecked.
The Way You Await This evening" - Frank Sinatra
Most romantic lyrics: "Lovely, never, never modify/ keep that breathless charm/ won't you lot please accommodate it?/ 'Cause I love you/ Just the way you wait tonight"
Rationale: Ah, yep. The song that plays at every wedding on earth. Popular songs are pop for a reason, though, and this one endures because of the accepting, unconditional sort of dear that it depicts. In addition to Sinatra'south version, I'm likewise fractional to Fred Astaire's rendition in the 1936 movie Swing Time and the sweet yet tongue-in-cheek visuals keep with it.
"Everlasting Light" - The Black Keys
Most romantic lyrics: "Let me be your everlasting light/ Your railroad train going abroad from hurting/ Beloved is the coal that makes this train coil/ Allow me be your everlasting low-cal"
Rationale: If you read the lyrics without the music, the whole song sounds kind of like a late nineteenth century poem. The dear in this song is so pure and hopeful, and you'll definitely gain absurd-points by playing The Black Keys on a first engagement.
"To Know Him Is To Love Him" - Amy Winehouse
Most romantic lyrics: "To know, know, know him/ Is to love, love, love him/ Just to see that grinning/ Makes my life worthwhile"
Rationale: No one does unbridled beloved similar Amy Winehouse. Her soulful phonation takes center phase in this Phil Spector cover, and if you're not already in honey, it will make you want to be.
"Like Real People Do" - Hozier
Most romantic lyrics: "I will not enquire you where you came from/ I volition not ask you, neither should yous/ Honey, merely put your sweet lips on my lips/ Nosotros should just kiss like real people do"
Rationale: Hither, Hozier is trying to convince his dearest interest to forget that they both have pasts (who doesn't?) and to just love him. At that place's a sense that both people in the vocal consider themselves odd in some way (again, who doesn't?), and that they've been searching for partners like each other for ages. "Like Real People Do" reminds u.s. of how miraculous it feels to love and exist loved back.
"Can't Have My Eyes Off Yous" - Franki Valli & The Four Seasons
Most romantic lyrics: "You're just as well good to be true/ Tin't take my eyes off of you/ You'd exist like sky to impact/ I wanna hold y'all so much"
Rationale: To quote every Boomer from my dwelling house land of New Jersey: They just don't make 'em like this anymore. And it'southward truthful―this song manages to balance emotional and sexual yearning without being crude.
And but... the gratitude Valli feels when he sings almost loving his girl and so much that he thanks God he's alive. My Lord. They really just do not make 'em quite like this anymore.
"Forrest Gump" - Frank Ocean
Most romantic lyrics: "My fingertips and my lips/ They fire from the cigarettes/ Forrest Gump, you run my listen, boy/ Running on my mind, boy"
Rationale: This is Frank Ocean's most criminally underrated song and I will fight anyone who has anything negative to say about it. In fact, I one time fabricated a very loud, spirited defense of this song when I was in loftier school, right afterward Sea's ill-received functioning of it at the 2013 Grammys.
The vocal is told from the perspective of Jenny in the 1994 moving picture Forrest Gump. It'southward about a broken, tired person coming back to their pure, enduring dear subsequently a nifty deal of time has passed. It's particularly meaningful, in my opinion, because Bounding main penned the song in the wake of his very public coming-out.
"Take Me The Style I Am" - Ingrid Michaelson
Most romantic lyrics: "'Crusade I love you more than I could always promise/ And you lot accept me the manner I am"
Rationale: What a throwback! Ingrid Michaelson was responsible for some of the sweetest manic-pixie-dream-daughter dearest songs of the early on 2000s, and this one was her almost popular. Michaelson rejoices in having institute 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 promise to love someone forever.
"I'yard Not Dead" - P!nk
Most romantic lyrics: "Correct beyond the cigarette and the devilish smile/You're my crack of sunlight/ Y'all can practice the math a yard ways/ But yous can't erase the facts/ That others come up and others get/ But you always come back"
Rationale: This is my favorite era of P!nk's music. In "I'grand Not Dead," she writes a frank, unapologetic love vocal about being a flawed human being deeply in love with another flawed human. Waxing poetic well-nigh her and her boyfriend's (her future husband, Cary Hart, by the way) tattoos and alluding to her ain mental illness, P!nk eschews all tired clichés nigh love in favor of something far more authentic and affecting.
"Hannah Hunt" - Vampire Weekend
Nearly romantic lyrics: "A man of faith said hidden eyes could come across 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 vocal, our narrator seems to exist moving around the U.South. with his beloved Hannah until she grows homesick for the eastward coast. Having lived in New England for effectually seven years, I'm fractional to this song for its "freezing beaches" references, but it's also a gentle tribute to the way time glides away when yous're with someone y'all dearest.
"A Song For You" - Donny Hathaway
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "I honey yous in a place/ Where there's no space or time/ I dear you for my life/ Yous're a friend of mine/ And when my life is over/ Call up when we were together"
Rationale: There have been many versions of this song, but this one'south my favorite. It was also Amy Winehouse's favorite. Donny Hathaway sings this with such feeling that one tin can't help simply feel he's reciting a memoir when he sings his apology to a woman he neglected to settle down with because he was too busy performing around the world.
"Maps" - Aye Yeah Yeahs
Most romantic lyrics: "Don't stray/ My kind's your kind/ I'll stay the aforementioned."
Rationale: Yeah, this vocal is 90 percent merely Karen O singing "Wait, they don't honey you like I love you," simply it'southward so powerful! If you say something the right way, and the accompanying music is proficient enough, at that place's no demand to embellish much more than. Proof: Beyoncé conspicuously nods to this vocal in her 2016 unmarried "Hold Up." "Maps" endures, over a decade later on, across genres.
"If I Ain't Got You" - Alicia Keys
Most romantic lyrics: "Some people want diamond rings/ Some simply want everything/ Just everything means naught/ If I ain't got you"
Rationale: This vocal is all the more touching when you call up that she wrote it just as she was get-go to get famous. She promises that her renown―the fruit of all her labor―along with promises of riches, jewelry, or endless life would all mean zero if she didn't take her man.
"Pine Tree Lines" - Told Slant
About romantic lines: "I am the girl my parents made/ Why don't you love me anyway/ 'Cause I love the way you take up space"
Rationale: Devastating genius. Lead vocalizer Felix Walworth delivers this song so earnestly that his voice literally cracks during that concluding line. I've never heard a simpler or more startlingly accurate depiction of adoration than loving the way someone takes upward space.
"Inevitable" - Shakira
Almost romantic lyrics: "To be even more than honest/ No ane thinks about you/ The way I do" (Translated from Castilian)
Rationale: Shakira spends near of this vocal laying out all her imperfections―that she doesn't know how to brand java, that she doesn't understand soccer, that she oversleeps, etc.―and then proceeds to ask her man to beloved her anyway.
"I Establish You lot" - Alabama Shakes
Most romantic lyrics: "I remember all them lone days/ I traveled out on my own/ Then you brought me everything/ You fabricated my business firm a home"
Rationale: This is a commemoration of finally finding your person. So who better to listen to it with than your person? Romantic, indeed.
"Rag Doll" - Franki Valli & The 4 Seasons
Nearly romantic lines: "I'd modify her sorry rags/ Into glad rags if I could/ My folks won't permit me/ 'Cause they say that she's no proficient."
Rationale: Another Four Seasons vocal, yes. I'one thousand from Jersey. Sue me.
Franki Valli declares his unconditional love for a girl much poorer than he is, fantasizing well-nigh replacing her tattered dress with lace and finery. In spite of her poverty, he ends the song past crying, "I dearest you only the way you are."
He wants to give everything to someone who can offer him goose egg fabric. All he wants is her.
"Since I've Been Loving You" - Led Zeppelin
Most romantic lyrics: "But baby, since I've been loving you lot, yeah/ I'm about to lose my worried heed/ Oh, yes"
Rationale: Man, these lyrics expect then underwhelming when written down sans musical accompaniment. Information technology's tragic.
What makes this song so romantic, to me, is the organ and bass piece of work by John Paul Jones pair with Robert Plant's searing vocals. It's a power blues vocal that hits y'all right in the gut. If desperate want were a sound, this would be it.
"Y'all Got Me" - Erykah Badu and The Roots
Most romantic lines: "If you lot don't worry 'bout where/ I been or who I saw or/ What club I went to with my homies/ Babe, don't worry, you know that y'all got me"
Rationale: I cried when I saw this live. Erykah reassures her boyfriend during the chorus that she'll ever be loyal to him, while Blackness Thought (pb MC of The Roots) uses his verses to tell the story of a lifelong romance. It's the best love song in hip hop, hands downward.
"(Yous Make Me Experience Similar) A Natural Woman - Aretha Franklin
About romantic lyrics: "When my soul was in the lost and constitute/ You came forth to claim it/ I didn't know just what was wrong with me/ 'Til your osculation helped me proper noun information technology"
Rationale: We should heal ourselves rather than wait effectually for someone to heal us, but that doesn't mean that love tin't exist a healing feel. Information technology'southward really romantic to thank someone for making yous feel good, and that's precisely what this song (written by the flawless Carole King) is nigh.
"Jade" - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Most romantic lyrics: "We can't help but follow, she'south Buddha, just scout her/ She moves like an old gypsy woman but swears she'south a girl/ And all that she asks we'll permit her/ For Jade is the girl of the hr"
Rationale: Alex Ebert wrote this song for Jade Castrinos when they were both still dating and still the frontpeople of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. The song is a quiet love letter to Castrinos―yous could imagine Ebert singing it to her at dark by the campfire while the rest of the band is asleep (that's this band's vibe, really). It'southward a shame that nosotros no longer go to lookout the sweet relationship between these talented musicians, but at least nosotros'll always have this hippie love vocal.
"Wild Horses" - The Rolling Stones
Most romantic lyrics: "Graceless lady/ You know who I am/ You lot know I tin can't permit you/ Slide through my easily/ Wild horses/ Couldn't drag me away"
Rationale: One of the wildest bands of the '60s and '70s also happened to write one of the most poignant songs about love and devotion. This is well-nigh a long, deep intimacy betwixt two people, and of beingness physically unable to resist the person you adore.
"Jim Bogart" - The Front Bottoms
Near romantic lyrics: "I would sleep better on your flooring/ Than I would ever in my bed/ And if your carpeting makes my face itch/ It'd all the same be sky in my head"
Rationale: "Jim Bogart" opens with the above lyrics, sung with lead vocalizer Brian Sella's signature raw vocals. He abandons all pride in his beloved for this girl, promising to practice his guitar every dark, to sleep on her floor without complaint, and to to ignore his doctor'southward communication―all to win her beloved. We shouldn't accept to debase ourselves for dearest (*rolls optics* yep, yeah yeah), but this is fine art. And if nosotros're being honest, this sentiment is relatable for anyone who'south prayed for their dear to be reciprocated.
"Loving Yous" - Elvis Presley
Most romantic lyrics: "If I'm seen with someone new/ Don't be blueish, don't you lot be blueish/ I'll exist faithful, I'll exist true/ Ever true, truthful to you"
Rationale: Elvis tells his dear not to go jealous or to believe the hype around him and other women, reassuring her that she's the i for him. Although multiple sources take claimed that Elvis did, indeed, cheat on his married woman, Priscilla, this remains his sweetest love song.
"Melissa" - The Allman Brothers Band
Most romantic lyrics: "Knowing many, loving none/ Bearin' sorrow, havin' fun/ But back home he'll ever run/ To sweet Melissa"

Almost romantic lyrics: "He's my sunshine in the morning/ He's my fireworks at the end of the mean solar day/ He's the warmest chord I always 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 song, insisting throughout that, "We don't need no slice of newspaper from the metropolis hall." She's saying that she doesn't need external validation of the relationship―this man gives her all she needs to feel secure in their bond.
"Devil In a New Dress" - Kanye West, Rick Ross
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "Put your hands to the constellations/ The style you look should be a sin, you my awareness"
Rationale: Kanye West is a pretty polarizing figure, but this is all the same one of my favorite albums of all time. It'southward a bittersweet tribute to his infamous relationship with Amber Rose, and this song encapsulates the often-sexy, always-complicated connection between 2 people who aren't good for each other, yet tin't stay away from i another.
"Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop)" - Erykah Badu, Mutual
Nearly romantic lyrics: "But that is all behind me/ 'Cause now in that location is no other/ My love is his and his is mine/ A friend became the/ Dear of my life"
Rationale: Conventional advice tells u.s.a. to fall in love with someone who can be our friend, too. This song is near two lifelong best friends who find their style back to each other afterwards fourth dimension spent apart. With her famously beguiling vox, Erykah Badu captures the joy of being truly known by one's partner.
"A Lord's day Kind of Love" - Etta James
Most romantic lyrics: "I want a Sunday kind of love/ A dearest to final past Saturday night/ I want to know it's more than dearest at first sight"
Rationale: We've all been at this point before.

She'd be saying she was tired of sweaty strangers in bars shouting into her ear, over deafening music, request if she wants to have a shot.
Instead, she'd want something substantial. Someone to relax and binge Schitt'south Creek reruns with on the weekends.
May we all find that Sunday kind love.

"She Volition Exist Loved" - Maroon 5
Most romantic lyrics:"I don't listen spendin' everyday / Out on your corner in the pourin' rain"
Rationale:I call up listening to this vocal in middle school, wishing that the boy I had a trounce on would love me enough to stand outside my window in the rain. In retrospect, that would have been awkward and inconvenient to explicate to my female parent, and these days I would probably discover such behavior creepy (when I'chiliad in my pajamas in my flat, peacefully eating Takis and watching The Sopranos, the last thing I need is a man continuing outside, watching me from the street like something out of The Exorcist), merely the sentiment of this vocal still stands.
"Because the Night" - Patti Smith

Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "Simply stay for one more night/ One day yous're gonna exist my wife/ You'll never have to worry once more/ I'm gonna be your homo"

"Wouldn't It Be Prissy" - The Beach Boys
Nearly romantic lyrics: "Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?/ Then we wouldn't take to expect so long"

"Stay" - Rihanna, Mikky Ekko
Most romantic lyrics: "Not really sure how to feel nigh it/ Somethin' in the way you move/ Makes me feel like I tin can't alive without yous"
Rationale: Love isn't a formula. In that location'due south no real logic to why we fall in love with some people but not others, and Rihanna hits the smash on the head when she says information technology's merely "something in the style [he] move[s]." It'south reminiscent of The Beatles' vocal "Something." Speaking of which...
"Something" - The Beatles
Nearly romantic lyrics: "Something in the way she moves / Attracts me like no other lover / Something in the way she woos me / I don't want to leave her now"

All he knew was that the love was there, and that that should be plenty.

"Androgynous" - The Replacements
Near romantic lyrics: "And they love each other so/ Androgynous/ Closer than we know, love each other so/ Androgynous"
Rationale: This song is about two not-binary people falling in love, which is pretty cool for a vocal from 1984. Our main characters, archetypically named Dick and Jane, dear each other regardless of gender. The Replacements make a compelling argument about why traditional gender roles and habiliment should make no departure if you lot're truly in love with someone.
"I'll Exist Seeing You" - Billie Holiday
Most romantic lyrics: "I'll find you in the morn dominicus/ In every lovely summer'south day/ In everything that's right and gay/ I'll always recollect of you lot"

Most romantic lyrics: "Y'all've got to move it slowly/ Take it in my trunk like it's holy/ I've been waiting for you for the whole week/ I've been praying for you, you're my Lord's day candy"
Rationale: The Social Experiment is the hip hop commonage that boasts members such as Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa (the former of which is featured heavily on this song). Jamila Woods performs the chorus to this song so sweetly that information technology's easy to forget the sexual implications, and she and Chance tell the story of a couple that spends a week at a time missing each other, captivated in thoughts of one another until they're finally reunited.

Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "Come as you are/ Every bit y'all were/ Every bit I want you to be"
Rationale: There are many interpretations of what this vocal means, ranging from mental health to friendship to commentary on inauthenticity. But, to me, "Come As You Are" works as the ultimate grunge love song; as a promise to dear and appreciate someone merely the way they are.
"Please, Delight, Please" - James Brownish
Almost romantic lyrics: "Baby please, babe please, delight me/ Infant please, baby please don't go/ Don't go, I said infant, don't baby/ I love you so"
Rationale: This song is almost entirely comprised of James Chocolate-brown repeating "please," and, supposedly, he got a lot of flack from his producers about that before its release. But, similar the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps," this track's magic lies in the passion with which it's delivered–and James Brownish is cipher if non passionate.
"I Will Always Love You" - Dolly Parton
About romantic lyrics: "And I hope life volition treat you kind/ And I hope that y'all have all/ That yous always dreamed of/ Oh, I do wish you joy/ And I wish you happiness/ But above all this/ I wish yous love"
Rationale: Without a doubt, y'all're familiar with Whitney Houston'south rendition of "I Volition Always Love You," but I love Dolly Parton's soft-spoken, country version as well. Where Houston belts, Parton croons, making this a keen alternative for when y'all desire to hear this song on a serenity evening in.
"Songbird" - Fleetwood Mac
Most romantic lyrics: "And I wish y'all all the love in the world/ But nigh of all, I wish information technology from myself/ And the songbirds keep singing/ Like they know the score"
Rationale: Fleetwood Mac'south members were notorious for hooking up within their ranks, and Christine McVie (writer and primary vocaliser on this song) was no exception. This is a unique love song, considering information technology does unconditional love unlike whatsoever other: It illustrates how information technology's entirely possible to love someone and desire the best for them while accepting, admitting sadly, that yous might non be that best matter.
"Offset Day of My Life" - Bright Optics
Most romantic lyrics: "Only I realized I need you/ And I wondered if I could come home"
Rationale: This Brilliant Optics track makes me wish I was better at playing guitar. Frontman Conor Oberst makes a frank plea for his beloved, telling her, "I'm glad I didn't die before I met you," and asking for permission to arroyo. It'due south an exercise in startling honesty, and the upshot, like the whole anthology, is profound.
"Bounding main of Love" - True cat Power
Nigh romantic lyrics: "Come with me, my dearest/ To the sea, the body of water of dear/ I wanna tell you/ How much I dear you "
Rationale: Originally, the last song on this list was going to be T.I.'south "Whatever You Similar" because I'm determined that it volition play at my wedding one day (I'1000 not kidding), merely "Sea of Love" is too romantic to laissez passer up.
