Heaven Knows How I Love You and Ill Never Change My Mind
Pic this: You've orchestrated the perfect at-dwelling house engagement for your significant other, featuring candles, vino, and a lovingly home-cooked (or lovingly ordered via app) dinner. But just equally your person texts you that they're on their way, you realize that you accept no thought what sort of music to play to retain the romantic ambient. After all, you tin can't have your early 2000s guilty pleasure songs come up up on shuffle while you lot're trying to stare lovingly into your partner's optics (cypher ruins the mood like the distinctive "youuuuuu" at the starting time of "Soulja Boy." And yeah, that example is based on a true story).
Anyway, I've got you covered with my list of the near beautiful, hopeful, and achingly romantic songs ever written (in my humble stance). You'll take your crush/partner/Bumble date swooning.
"ROS" - Mac Miller
Most romantic lyrics: "I'g in your heart, I'thou in your dream/ So fuck the earth it'due south yous and me"
Rationale: When the outside earth becomes vicious, many couples plough inward and develop that united states of america-against-the-earth mindset. In "ROS," Mac Miller captures what it'south like to feel close to someone, spending much of this vocal describing the little things he loves about his partner, like her "stained drinking glass" eyes, butterscotch-scented pare, and kiwi-flavored lips. The lyrics are intimate in every mode, and Mac delivers them with his feature rawness.
"These Arms of Mine" - Otis Redding
Most romantic lyrics: "These arms of mine, they are lonely/ Lonely and feeling blue/ These arms of mine, they are yearning/ Yearning from wanting yous"
Rationale: This song hits me right in the chest. It's impossible non to feel your arms and chest aching like Reddings' when he sings virtually called-for to hold his lover. The music crescendos around his shine voice every bit he begs, "And if you would let them agree y'all/ Oh, how grateful I would be." It'southward such a sweet, hostage plea for dearest, and its focus on physicality is pretty sexy, likewise.
"Ex Factor" - Lauryn Loma
Most romantic lyrics: "See, no one loves y'all more than than me/ and no ane always will"
Rationale: No one knows how to obliterate me emotionally quite like Lauryn Hill does. In "Ex Factor" (and on this whole album, permit's be real), she's vulnerable, baring all her devotion to her beau. We recognize straightaway that her relationship is toxic, only Hill's honesty is so beautiful that we humble listeners take no choice merely to sit, transfixed, and heed.
"Skinny Love" - Bon Iver
Most romantic lyrics: "Told my dear to wreck it all/ Cutting out all the ropes and permit me fall"
Rationale: When this song came out in 2007, I was in middle school. I could non terminate singing it as I traipsed through my house, near-tears equally I crooned about "the sink of blood and crushed veneer," every bit though my twelve years on earth had been rife with tragic beloved diplomacy.
Nevertheless, this song still holds upwards. Bon Iver is a master at depicting what information technology's like to fully surrender yourself to someone while enlightened that they may hurt y'all in the terminate. I withal sing this vocal while I lounge around my little 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 urban center, your mountains/ Stay with me, stay/ I need you to beloved me/ I need you today/ Give 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 so performed it with Don Henley (of The Eagles) while they were dating. This duet is cute 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 practise this to me?
Wrecked.
The Way You Await Tonight" - Frank Sinatra
Most romantic lyrics: "Lovely, never, never change/ keep that breathless charm/ won't yous delight arrange it?/ 'Cause I love you lot/ But the way you wait this evening"
Rationale: Ah, yeah. The song that plays at every nuptials on earth. Popular songs are popular for a reason, though, and this one endures because of the accepting, unconditional sort of honey that it depicts. In addition to Sinatra'south version, I'thousand also partial to Fred Astaire'south rendition in the 1936 film Swing Time and the sweet nevertheless tongue-in-cheek visuals go along with it.
"Everlasting Light" - The Black Keys
Most romantic lyrics: "Let me be your everlasting light/ Your train going away from pain/ Love is the coal that makes this train ringlet/ Let me exist your everlasting lite"
Rationale: If you lot read the lyrics without the music, the whole song sounds kind of like a belatedly nineteenth century poem. The love in this song is so pure and hopeful, and you'll definitely gain cool-points by playing The Blackness Keys on a commencement date.
"To Know Him Is To Love Him" - Amy Winehouse
Nigh romantic lyrics: "To know, know, know him/ Is to love, beloved, dearest him/ Just to see that smile/ Makes my life worthwhile"
Rationale: No one does unbridled honey similar Amy Winehouse. Her soulful vox takes center stage in this Phil Spector encompass, and if you're not already in love, information technology will make you want to be.
"Like Real People Do" - Hozier
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "I will not ask you where you lot came from/ I volition not ask you, neither should you/ Beloved, simply put your sweet lips on my lips/ We should merely kiss like real people exercise"
Rationale: Here, Hozier is trying to convince his honey interest to forget that they both have pasts (who doesn't?) and to just love him. At that place'due south a sense that both people in the song consider themselves odd in some way (once again, who doesn't?), and that they've been searching for partners like each other for ages. "Like Existent 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 4 Seasons
Most romantic lyrics: "You're just too good to exist truthful/ Can't take my optics off of yous/ You'd exist like sky to touch/ I wanna agree you so much"
Rationale: To quote every Boomer from my dwelling house land of New Jersey: They merely don't make 'em similar this anymore. And it's true―this song manages to balance emotional and sexual yearning without being rough.
And just... the gratitude Valli feels when he sings about loving his girl so much that he thanks God he's alive. My Lord. They actually only exercise not make 'em quite like this anymore.
"Forrest Gump" - Frank Ocean
Nearly romantic lyrics: "My fingertips and my lips/ They burn down from the cigarettes/ Forrest Gump, you run my mind, male child/ Running on my heed, boy"
Rationale: This is Frank Ocean'due south nigh criminally underrated vocal and I will fight anyone who has anything negative to say well-nigh it. In fact, I once made a very loud, spirited defence force of this vocal when I was in loftier school, correct after Ocean'due south sick-received functioning of it at the 2013 Grammys.
The song is told from the perspective of Jenny in the 1994 film Forrest Gump. It's about a broken, tired person coming back to their pure, enduring love afterwards a bang-up deal of time has passed. Information technology's especially meaningful, in my opinion, because Ocean penned the song in the wake of his very public coming-out.
"Take Me The Way I Am" - Ingrid Michaelson
Almost romantic lyrics: "'Cause I dear you more than than I could always promise/ And you lot take me the fashion I am"
Rationale: What a throwback! Ingrid Michaelson was responsible for some of the sweetest manic-pixie-dream-girl love songs of the early on 2000s, and this 1 was her about 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 promise to love someone forever.
"I'1000 Non Expressionless" - P!nk
Almost romantic lyrics: "Right across the cigarette and the devilish grin/Y'all're my crack of sunlight/ You can do the math a thousand ways/ But you can't erase the facts/ That others come and others go/ Only y'all always come back"
Rationale: This is my favorite era of P!nk's music. In "I'm Not Expressionless," she writes a frank, unapologetic love song about being a flawed human deeply in honey with another flawed human. Waxing poetic about her and her swain's (her hereafter husband, Cary Hart, by the way) tattoos and alluding to her own mental illness, P!nk eschews all tired clichés well-nigh honey in favor of something far more authentic and affecting.
"Hannah Hunt" - Vampire Weekend
Almost romantic lyrics: "A homo of faith said hidden eyes could come across what I was thinkin'/ I only smiled and told him/ That was merely true of Hannah"
Rationale: Oh, Ezra Koenig, how you lot wound me with your beautiful words! In this song, our narrator seems to be moving around the U.Due south. with his dear Hannah until she grows homesick for the east declension. Having lived in New England for effectually vii years, I'k partial to this song for its "freezing beaches" references, but it'due south also a gentle tribute to the way time glides away when you're with someone you love.
"A Song For Y'all" - Donny Hathaway
Most romantic lyrics: "I love you in a place/ Where there'south no infinite or fourth dimension/ 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 take been many versions of this vocal, only this one's my favorite. It was also Amy Winehouse'due south favorite. Donny Hathaway sings this with such feeling that one tin can't aid but experience he's reciting a memoir when he sings his apology to a woman he neglected to settle down with considering he was besides busy performing around the world.
"Maps" - Yes Yeah Yeahs
Virtually romantic lyrics: "Don't stray/ My kind'south your kind/ I'll stay the same."
Rationale: Yes, this song is 90 percent simply Karen O singing "Await, they don't love you like I honey you," only it's and so powerful! If you lot say something the right way, and the accompanying music is good plenty, there's no need to embellish much more. Proof: Beyoncé clearly nods to this song in her 2016 single "Hold Upward." "Maps" endures, over a decade afterwards, across genres.
"If I Ain't Got You" - Alicia Keys
Most romantic lyrics: "Some people want diamond rings/ Some just want everything/ Simply everything means nothing/ If I ain't got you lot"
Rationale: This song is all the more than touching when you recall that she wrote it but equally she was outset 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 hateful nothing if she didn't have her man.
"Pine Tree Lines" - Told Slant
Most romantic lines: "I am the girl my parents made/ Why don't you dear me anyway/ 'Crusade I beloved the way you accept upward space"
Rationale: Devastating genius. Atomic number 82 singer Felix Walworth delivers this song so earnestly that his voice literally cracks during that last line. I've never heard a simpler or more startlingly authentic depiction of adoration than loving the way someone takes up space.
"Inevitable" - Shakira
Virtually romantic lyrics: "To be even more honest/ No i thinks virtually you/ The way I do" (Translated from Spanish)
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 man to honey her anyway.
"I Constitute You" - Alabama Shakes
Nigh romantic lyrics: "I call back all them solitary days/ I traveled out on my own/ So you brought me everything/ You made my house a home"
Rationale: This is a commemoration of finally finding your person. So who better to listen to information technology with than your person? Romantic, indeed.
"Rag Doll" - Franki Valli & The Iv Seasons
Most romantic lines: "I'd change her sad rags/ Into glad rags if I could/ My folks won't let me/ 'Cause they say that she'south no good."
Rationale: Some other Four Seasons vocal, yes. I'thousand from Jersey. Sue me.
Franki Valli declares his unconditional dearest for a daughter much poorer than he is, fantasizing about replacing her tattered wearing apparel with lace and finery. In spite of her poverty, he ends the song past crying, "I love y'all merely the style you are."
He wants to give everything to someone who can offering him zippo textile. All he wants is her.
"Since I've Been Loving You" - Led Zeppelin
Nearly romantic lyrics: "But baby, since I've been loving you, yeah/ I'm most to lose my worried listen/ Oh, yeah"
Rationale: Man, these lyrics wait 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 work by John Paul Jones pair with Robert Plant's searing vocals. It's a power dejection vocal that hits you lot right in the gut. If desperate desire were a sound, this would exist 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 gild I went to with my homies/ Baby, don't worry, you know that you lot got me"
Rationale: I cried when I saw this live. Erykah reassures her swain during the chorus that she'll always exist loyal to him, while Black Thought (lead MC of The Roots) uses his verses to tell the story of a lifelong romance. It's the best love vocal in hip hop, hands down.

Virtually romantic lyrics: "When my soul was in the lost and found/ You lot came along to merits it/ I didn't know just what was incorrect with me/ 'Til your osculation helped me name it"
Rationale: We should heal ourselves rather than wait around for someone to heal us, but that doesn't mean that love tin can't be a healing experience. It'due south actually romantic to thank someone for making you feel practiced, and that's precisely what this song (written past the flawless Carole King) is almost.
"Jade" - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Most romantic lyrics: "We can't help but follow, she'south Buddha, only watch her/ She moves like an old gypsy woman but swears she's a girl/ And all that she asks nosotros'll allow her/ For Jade is the girl of the hr"
Rationale: Alex Ebert wrote this song for Jade Castrinos when they were both however dating and still the frontpeople of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. The song is a repose beloved letter to Castrinos―you could imagine Ebert singing information technology to her at night past the campfire while the rest of the band is asleep (that'south this ring's vibe, actually). It's a shame that we no longer get to watch the sweet relationship between these talented musicians, but at least nosotros'll e'er have this hippie dearest song.
"Wild Horses" - The Rolling Stones
About romantic lyrics: "Graceless lady/ You lot know who I am/ You know I can't let you/ Slide through my easily/ Wild horses/ Couldn't elevate me abroad"

"Jim Bogart" - The Front Bottoms
Most romantic lyrics: "I would slumber better on your floor/ Than I would e'er in my bed/ And if your rug makes my confront itch/ Information technology'd withal be sky in my head"
Rationale: "Jim Bogart" opens with the to a higher place lyrics, sung with lead singer Brian Sella's signature raw vocals. He abandons all pride in his love for this girl, promising to practice his guitar every night, to sleep on her floor without complaint, and to to ignore his md's advice―all to win her love. Nosotros shouldn't have to debase ourselves for love (*rolls eyes* aye, aye yes), just this is art. And if we're beingness honest, this sentiment is relatable for anyone who'south prayed for their beloved to be reciprocated.
"Loving Y'all" - Elvis Presley
Most romantic lyrics: "If I'thou seen with someone new/ Don't be bluish, don't you lot be blue/ I'll exist faithful, I'll exist true/ Ever true, true to you"
Rationale: Elvis tells his beloved non to become jealous or to believe the hype around him and other women, reassuring her that she's the 1 for him. Although multiple sources take claimed that Elvis did, indeed, cheat on his married woman, Priscilla, this remains his sweetest dear song.
"Melissa" - The Allman Brothers Band
Virtually romantic lyrics: "Knowing many, loving none/ Bearin' sorrow, havin' fun/ Merely dorsum dwelling he'll always run/ To sweet Melissa"
Rationale: Here, the Allman Brothers sing almost a traveling musician who tin't get over his sweetheart no matter how many other women he meets. She always ends up resurfacing in his mind, and somewhen, he always returns to her.

"Devil In a New Apparel" - Kanye West, Rick Ross
Virtually romantic lyrics: "Put your hands to the constellations/ The manner you look should be a sin, you my sensation"
Rationale: Kanye West is a pretty polarizing figure, but this is however 1 of my favorite albums of all time. It's a bittersweet tribute to his infamous relationship with Bister Rose, and this song encapsulates the oft-sexy, e'er-complicated connection between two people who aren't good for each other, yet can't stay away from ane some other.
"Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop)" - Erykah Badu, Mutual

About romantic lyrics: "I want a Sun kind of dearest/ A beloved to last by Sabbatum nighttime/ I want to know it's more than than love at showtime sight"
Rationale: We've all been at this point before. If Etta James were to have written this song today, she would accept been explaining that she was sick of one-nighttime-stands and Tinder/Bumble/Swivel dates that go nowhere. She'd be saying she was tired of sweaty strangers in bars shouting into her ear, over deafening music, asking if she wants to accept a shot.
Instead, she'd desire something substantial. Someone to relax and binge Schitt'southward Creek reruns with on the weekends.
May nosotros all detect that Sunday kind love.

Nearly romantic lyrics:"I don't mind spendin' everyday / Out on your corner in the pourin' rain"

"Stay" - Rihanna, Mikky Ekko
Most romantic lyrics: "Not really sure how to experience about it/ Somethin' in the way you move/ Makes me feel similar I can't live without you"

It'southward reminiscent of The Beatles' song "Something." Speaking of which...

The Replacements make a compelling argument virtually why traditional gender roles and habiliment should make no divergence if yous're truly in beloved with someone.

Most romantic lyrics: "Baby please, baby delight, please me/ Baby please, babe please don't go/ Don't go, I said infant, don't infant/ I love you and then"
