60s Girl Groups Will I Ever See You Again
Film this: You've orchestrated the perfect at-home date for your significant other, featuring candles, wine, and a lovingly abode-cooked (or lovingly ordered via app) dinner. But just every bit your person texts yous that they're on their way, you realize that you have no idea what sort of music to play to retain the romantic ambient. Afterward all, you tin can't have your early 2000s guilty pleasure songs come on shuffle while you're trying to stare lovingly into your partner'south eyes (nothing ruins the mood like the distinctive "youuuuuu" at the starting time of "Soulja Male child." And yes, 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 always written (in my humble opinion). You'll accept your beat out/partner/Bumble date swooning.
"ROS" - Mac Miller
Most romantic lyrics: "I'thou in your centre, I'm in your dream/ Then fuck the globe it's you and me"
Rationale: When the exterior world becomes brutal, many couples plow inwards and develop that u.s.a.-against-the-world mindset. In "ROS," Mac Miller captures what information technology's like to feel close to someone, spending much of this song describing the little things he loves most his partner, like her "stained glass" optics, butterscotch-scented peel, and kiwi-flavored lips. The lyrics are intimate in every style, and Mac delivers them with his characteristic rawness.
"These Arms of Mine" - Otis Redding
Almost romantic lyrics: "These artillery of mine, they are solitary/ Lonely and feeling blue/ These arms of mine, they are yearning/ Yearning from wanting you"
Rationale: This song hits me right in the breast. It's impossible not to feel your arms and chest aching like Reddings' when he sings about burning to hold his lover. The music crescendos effectually his smooth voice as he begs, "And if y'all would let them agree you lot/ Oh, how grateful I would be." It's such a sweet, earnest plea for love, and its focus on physicality is pretty sexy, as well.
"Ex Factor" - Lauryn Hill
Most romantic lyrics: "See, no one loves you lot more than me/ and no one e'er will"
Rationale: No one knows how to obliterate me emotionally quite like Lauryn Hill does. In "Ex Gene" (and on this whole anthology, permit's be existent), she'south vulnerable, baring all her devotion to her beau. We recognize straightaway that her human relationship is toxic, but Hill's honesty is so cute that we humble listeners take no selection only to sit, transfixed, and listen.
"Skinny Beloved" - Bon Iver
Most romantic lyrics: "Told my love to wreck it all/ Cut out all the ropes and let me fall"
Rationale: When this song came out in 2007, I was in middle schoolhouse. I could non cease singing it as I traipsed through my business firm, near-tears as I crooned well-nigh "the sink of blood and crushed veneer," as though my twelve years on earth had been rife with tragic dear diplomacy.
Nevertheless, this song still holds up. Bon Iver is a master at depicting what information technology'due south like to fully surrender yourself to someone while aware that they may hurt you in the end. I nevertheless sing this vocal while I lounge around my little studio apartment, drawing on real-life experiences this time, though I clinch you lot that none of them involved claret-filled sinks or crushed veneers.
"Leather and Lace" - Stevie Nicks & Don Henley
Nigh romantic lyrics: "Lovers forever, face to confront/ My urban center, your mountains/ Stay with me, stay/ I need you to love me/ I need you today/ Give me to me your leather, accept from me my lace"
Rationale: This is Stevie Nicks' lyricism at its about poignant. She wrote "Leather and Lace" herself and then performed information technology 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 y'all do this to me?
Wrecked.
The Way You Await This evening" - Frank Sinatra
Almost romantic lyrics: "Lovely, never, never alter/ keep that incoherent amuse/ won't you please adapt it?/ 'Cause I dearest y'all/ Just the fashion you look tonight"
Rationale: Ah, yes. The song that plays at every wedding on earth. Popular songs are popular for a reason, though, and this one endures because of the accepting, unconditional sort of dearest that it depicts. In improver to Sinatra'due south version, I'k besides fractional to Fred Astaire'due south rendition in the 1936 film Swing Time and the sweetness nevertheless tongue-in-cheek visuals go forth with it.
"Everlasting Calorie-free" - The Black Keys
Near romantic lyrics: "Allow me be your everlasting light/ Your train going away from pain/ Love is the coal that makes this train curl/ Let me exist your everlasting light"
Rationale: If y'all read the lyrics without the music, the whole vocal sounds kind of like a late nineteenth century poem. The dearest in this song is so pure and hopeful, and you'll definitely gain cool-points by playing The Blackness Keys on a first date.
"To Know Him Is To Love Him" - Amy Winehouse
Nigh romantic lyrics: "To know, know, know him/ Is to love, love, honey him/ Just to encounter that grin/ Makes my life worthwhile"
Rationale: No one does unbridled love like Amy Winehouse. Her soulful voice takes center stage in this Phil Spector cover, and if you're not already in honey, it will make yous want to be.
"Like Real People Exercise" - Hozier
Most romantic lyrics: "I will not ask you lot where you lot came from/ I volition non inquire you, neither should yous/ Dearest, just put your sweet lips on my lips/ Nosotros should just kiss like existent people exercise"
Rationale: Here, Hozier is trying to convince his love interest to forget that they both take pasts (who doesn't?) and to just love him. There'due south a sense that both people in the song consider themselves odd in some manner (again, who doesn't?), and that they've been searching for partners like each other for ages. "Similar Real People Exercise" reminds us of how miraculous information technology feels to love and be loved back.
"Tin can't Take My Eyes Off Y'all" - Franki Valli & The Iv Seasons
Near romantic lyrics: "You lot're just too skilful to be true/ Can't take my eyes off of you/ Y'all'd be similar sky to touch/ I wanna concord yous and so much"
Rationale: To quote every Boomer from my home country of New Bailiwick of jersey: They just don't make 'em like this anymore. And information technology's truthful―this vocal manages to residual emotional and sexual yearning without beingness crude.
And merely... the gratitude Valli feels when he sings nearly loving his girl so much that he thank you God he's alive. My Lord. They really just practise non make 'em quite similar this anymore.
"Forrest Gump" - Frank Ocean
Most romantic lyrics: "My fingertips and my lips/ They burn from the cigarettes/ Forrest Gump, you run my heed, boy/ Running on my listen, boy"
Rationale: This is Frank Sea'due south near criminally underrated song and I will fight anyone who has anything negative to say about it. In fact, I in one case made a very loud, spirited defense force of this song when I was in high school, right subsequently Ocean'due south ill-received performance of it at the 2013 Grammys.
The vocal is told from the perspective of Jenny in the 1994 film Forrest Gump. Information technology's about a broken, tired person coming dorsum to their pure, enduring honey subsequently a great deal of time has passed. It's especially meaningful, in my stance, because Sea penned the song in the wake of his very public coming-out.
"Take Me The Way I Am" - Ingrid Michaelson
Most romantic lyrics: "'Crusade I dear you more than than I could always promise/ And you take me the way 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 ane was her nigh pop. Michaelson rejoices in having constitute 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 hair starts falling out. It'south a promise to dear someone forever.
"I'm Not Expressionless" - P!nk
Most romantic lyrics: "Right beyond the cigarette and the devilish smile/You're my crevice of sunlight/ You can do the math a thousand ways/ But you lot can't erase the facts/ That others come and others get/ But you always come back"
Rationale: This is my favorite era of P!nk's music. In "I'one thousand Non Dead," she writes a frank, unapologetic love vocal about being a flawed human deeply in love with another flawed human being. Waxing poetic about her and her swain's (her future husband, Cary Hart, past the style) tattoos and alluding to her own mental illness, P!nk eschews all tired clichés nigh honey in favor of something far more accurate and affecting.
"Hannah Hunt" - Vampire Weekend
Most romantic lyrics: "A human of faith said subconscious eyes could see what I was thinkin'/ I just smiled and told him/ That was simply true of Hannah"
Rationale: Oh, Ezra Koenig, how you wound me with your cute words! In this song, our narrator seems to be moving around the U.South. with his beloved Hannah until she grows homesick for the e declension. Having lived in New England for around seven years, I'm fractional to this song for its "freezing beaches" references, but it'southward besides a gentle tribute to the fashion time glides abroad when you're with someone y'all love.
"A Vocal For Y'all" - Donny Hathaway
Most romantic lyrics: "I love yous in a place/ Where there's no infinite or fourth dimension/ I love you for my life/ Yous're a friend of mine/ And when my life is over/ Remember when nosotros were together"
Rationale: At that place have been many versions of this song, simply this one'due south my favorite. It was also Amy Winehouse'due south favorite. Donny Hathaway sings this with such feeling that 1 can't aid just feel he'due south reciting a memoir when he sings his apology to a adult female he neglected to settle downwardly with because he was also decorated performing around the world.
"Maps" - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Most romantic lyrics: "Don't stray/ My kind's your kind/ I'll stay the same."
Rationale: Yes, this song is xc pct just Karen O singing "Wait, they don't love you like I dear yous," merely it's and so powerful! If you say something the right manner, and the accompanying music is skilful enough, there's no need to embellish much more. Proof: Beyoncé conspicuously nods to this song in her 2016 single "Concur Up." "Maps" endures, over a decade later, across genres.
"If I Ain't Got Y'all" - Alicia Keys
Most romantic lyrics: "Some people want diamond rings/ Some simply desire everything/ But everything means nix/ If I ain't got you"
Rationale: This vocal is all the more touching when you recall that she wrote it just as she was start 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 mean nothing if she didn't have her man.
"Pine Tree Lines" - Told Camber
Most romantic lines: "I am the daughter my parents made/ Why don't you love me anyway/ 'Crusade I dear the manner yous take up space"
Rationale: Devastating genius. Lead singer Felix Walworth delivers this vocal and so earnestly that his phonation literally cracks during that terminal line. I've never heard a simpler or more than startlingly accurate depiction of adoration than loving the mode someone takes upwards space.
"Inevitable" - Shakira
Near romantic lyrics: "To be even more than honest/ No one thinks virtually you/ The style I do" (Translated from Spanish)
Rationale: Shakira spends most of this song laying out all her imperfections―that she doesn't know how to brand coffee, that she doesn't sympathize soccer, that she oversleeps, etc.―and so proceeds to inquire her homo to dearest her anyway.
"I Found Y'all" - Alabama Shakes
Most romantic lyrics: "I remember all them lonely days/ I traveled out on my own/ And then y'all brought me everything/ You made my house a home"
Rationale: This is a celebration of finally finding your person. So who meliorate to listen to it 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/ 'Crusade they say that she's no skilful."
Rationale: Another Four Seasons vocal, yes. I'yard from Jersey. Sue me.
Franki Valli declares his unconditional love for a girl much poorer than he is, fantasizing nigh replacing her tattered dress with lace and finery. In spite of her poverty, he ends the song past crying, "I love you just the way you are."
He wants to requite everything to someone who tin can offering him zippo material. All he wants is her.
"Since I've Been Loving You lot" - Led Zeppelin
Virtually romantic lyrics: "But baby, since I've been loving you, yes/ I'1000 about to lose my worried listen/ Oh, yeah"
Rationale: Human, these lyrics look and then underwhelming when written downward sans musical accompaniment. It's tragic.
What makes this song and so romantic, to me, is the organ and bass work by John Paul Jones pair with Robert Constitute'south searing vocals. Information technology's a ability blues song that hits you right in the gut. If desperate desire were a sound, this would exist information technology.
"You Got Me" - Erykah Badu and The Roots
About romantic lines: "If you don't worry 'bout where/ I been or who I saw or/ What society I went to with my homies/ Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me"
Rationale: I cried when I saw this live. Erykah reassures her fellow 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'south the all-time love song in hip hop, hands down.
"(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Adult female - Aretha Franklin
About romantic lyrics: "When my soul was in the lost and institute/ You lot came along to claim it/ I didn't know just what was wrong with me/ 'Til your kiss helped me proper noun it"
Rationale: Nosotros should heal ourselves rather than wait around for someone to heal us, but that doesn't mean that dearest can't exist a healing experience. It's really romantic to thank someone for making you feel skillful, and that's precisely what this song (written past the flawless Carole King) is about.
"Jade" - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Most romantic lyrics: "We tin't help simply follow, she's Buddha, just watch her/ She moves similar an old gypsy woman but swears she's a girl/ And all that she asks we'll let her/ For Jade is the girl of the hour"
Rationale: Alex Ebert wrote this song for Jade Castrinos when they were both notwithstanding dating and still the frontpeople of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. The song is a tranquility dear letter to Castrinos―you could imagine Ebert singing it to her at nighttime by the campfire while the remainder of the band is asleep (that'due south this ring's vibe, really). It'due south a shame that we no longer get to watch the sweet relationship between these talented musicians, but at least we'll e'er take this hippie dear song.
"Wild Horses" - The Rolling Stones
About romantic lyrics: "Graceless lady/ You lot know who I am/ Yous know I tin can't permit yous/ Slide through my hands/ Wild horses/ Couldn't drag me abroad"
Rationale: 1 of the wildest bands of the '60s and '70s also happened to write one of the most poignant songs about dear and devotion. This is about a long, deep intimacy between two people, and of beingness physically unable to resist the person y'all admire.
"Jim Bogart" - The Front Bottoms
About 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 lead vocaliser Brian Sella's signature raw vocals. He abandons all pride in his love for this daughter, promising to exercise his guitar every night, to slumber on her floor without complaint, and to to ignore his dr.'s advice―all to win her honey. Nosotros shouldn't have to debase ourselves for love (*rolls eyes* yeah, yeah yeah), but this is fine art. And if we're being honest, this sentiment is relatable for anyone who's prayed for their love to be reciprocated.
"Loving You" - Elvis Presley
Most romantic lyrics: "If I'm seen with someone new/ Don't be blueish, don't you be blue/ I'll be faithful, I'll be truthful/ Always true, true to you lot"
Rationale: Elvis tells his beloved not to get 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, crook on his wife, Priscilla, this remains his sweetest dearest vocal.
"Melissa" - The Allman Brothers Band
Virtually romantic lyrics: "Knowing many, loving none/ Bearin' sorrow, havin' fun/ But back habitation he'll always run/ To sweet Melissa"
Rationale: Here, the Allman Brothers sing about a traveling musician who can't get over his sweetheart no matter how many other women he meets. She always ends up resurfacing in his mind, and eventually, he ever returns to her.

She's saying that she doesn't need external validation of the relationship―this man gives her all she needs to experience secure in their bond.
"Devil In a New Dress" - Kanye West, Rick Ross
Most romantic lyrics: "Put your easily to the constellations/ The fashion y'all look should be a sin, you my sensation"
Rationale: Kanye West is a pretty polarizing figure, simply this is nonetheless one of my favorite albums of all fourth dimension. It's a bittersweet tribute to his infamous relationship with Bister Rose, and this song encapsulates the often-sexy, always-complicated connectedness between 2 people who aren't good for each other, even so tin can't stay away from 1 another.

Most romantic lyrics: "But that is all behind me/ 'Cause at present there is no other/ My love is his and his is mine/ A friend became the/ Love of my life"

This vocal is almost two lifelong best friends who find their fashion back to each other later time spent apart. With her famously beguiling vocalism, Erykah Badu captures the joy of being truly known by i's partner.
"A Sunday Kind of Honey" - Etta James
Near romantic lyrics: "I want a Sunday kind of dearest/ A dearest to last past Saturday dark/ I want to know it'south more than than love at first sight"
Rationale: We've all been at this signal earlier. If Etta James were to have written this song today, she would accept been explaining that she was sick of i-night-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 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 Sun kind dearest.

"She Volition Be Loved" - Maroon 5
Nearly romantic lyrics:"I don't heed spendin' everyday / Out on your corner in the pourin' rain"
Rationale:I recall listening to this vocal in middle school, wishing that the male child I had a vanquish on would beloved me enough to stand outside my window in the rain. In retrospect, that would have been bad-mannered and inconvenient to explicate to my mother, and these days I would probably find such behavior creepy (when I'yard in my pajamas in my apartment, peacefully eating Takis and watching The Sopranos, the last thing I need is a man standing outside, watching me from the street like something out of The Exorcist), but the sentiment of this vocal still stands.
"Considering the Night" - Patti Smith

"Stay" - Rihanna, Mikky Ekko
Most romantic lyrics: "Non actually sure how to feel about information technology/ Somethin' in the way yous move/ Makes me feel like I tin't alive without you"
Rationale: Honey isn't a formula. In that location's no existent logic to why we autumn in love with some people but not others, and Rihanna hits the blast on the head when she says it'southward just "something in the style [he] movement[s]." It's reminiscent of The Beatles' song "Something." Speaking of which...
"Something" - The Beatles
Most romantic lyrics: "Something in the mode she moves / Attracts me like no other lover / Something in the fashion she woos me / I don't want to get out her now"

"Androgynous" - The Replacements
Most romantic lyrics: "And they love each other and then/ Androgynous/ Closer than we know, love each other so/ Androgynous"
Rationale: This song is well-nigh 2 not-binary people falling in beloved, which is pretty cool for a song from 1984. Our main 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 brand no difference if you're truly in dear with someone.
"I'll Be Seeing You" - Billie Vacation
Most romantic lyrics: "I'll detect you in the morning sun/ In every lovely summertime's day/ In everything that's right and gay/ I'll ever call up of y'all"

Most romantic lyrics: "Yous've got to motility information technology slowly/ Take it in my body similar it's holy/ I've been waiting for you lot for the whole week/ I've been praying for you, yous're my Sunday candy"

"Please, Please, Delight" - James Chocolate-brown
Most romantic lyrics: "Baby please, baby please, delight me/ Baby please, baby please don't become/ Don't go, I said baby, don't babe/ I dearest yous so"
Rationale: This song is well-nigh entirely comprised of James Brown repeating "delight," and, supposedly, he got a lot of flack from his producers about that before its release. But, like the Yeah Aye Yeahs' "Maps," this track's magic lies in the passion with which it's delivered–and James Brown is cypher if not passionate.

"Songbird" - Fleetwood Mac

Rationale: Fleetwood Mac's members were notorious for hooking up inside their ranks, and Christine McVie (writer and primary vocalizer on this song) was no exception. This is a unique honey song, because it does unconditional love unlike whatsoever other: Information technology illustrates how it's entirely possible to love someone and want the all-time for them while accepting, albeit sadly, that you might not be that best matter.

It'southward an exercise in startling honesty, and the outcome, like the whole album, is profound.
