Song I Wished to Be Single Again
Moving-picture show this: You've orchestrated the perfect at-domicile engagement for your significant other, featuring candles, wine, and a lovingly dwelling-cooked (or lovingly ordered via app) dinner. But just as your person texts yous that they're on their way, you realize that you take no idea what sort of music to play to retain the romantic ambience. After all, yous tin can't accept your early 2000s guilty pleasure songs come up on shuffle while yous're trying to stare lovingly into your partner'southward optics (nothing ruins the mood similar the distinctive "youuuuuu" at the beginning of "Soulja Boy." And yes, that example is based on a true story).
Anyhow, I've got you covered with my list of the about beautiful, hopeful, and achingly romantic songs ever written (in my humble opinion). Yous'll take your crush/partner/Bumble date swooning.
"ROS" - Mac Miller
About romantic lyrics: "I'm in your center, I'g in your dream/ So fuck the globe it'south you lot and me"
Rationale: When the outside globe becomes roughshod, many couples turn inward and develop that us-against-the-world mindset. In "ROS," Mac Miller captures what it'south like to experience shut to someone, spending much of this song describing the little things he loves about his partner, like her "stained 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
Virtually romantic lyrics: "These arms of mine, they are solitary/ Solitary and feeling blue/ These artillery of mine, they are yearning/ Yearning from wanting you lot"
Rationale: This vocal hits me right in the chest. It's impossible not to feel your arms and breast aching similar Reddings' when he sings about burning to concur his lover. The music crescendos effectually his polish voice as he begs, "And if you would allow them concord y'all/ Oh, how grateful I would be." Information technology'southward such a sweet, earnest plea for dear, and its focus on physicality is pretty sexy, too.
"Ex Cistron" - Lauryn Hill
Most romantic lyrics: "See, no one loves you more than me/ and no one ever will"
Rationale: No one knows how to obliterate me emotionally quite like Lauryn Colina does. In "Ex Factor" (and on this whole anthology, permit's be real), she's vulnerable, baring all her devotion to her young man. We recognize straightaway that her relationship is toxic, merely Hill's honesty is so beautiful that nosotros humble listeners accept no choice just to sit, transfixed, and mind.
"Skinny Love" - 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 school. I could not cease singing it every bit I traipsed through my house, 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 love affairs.
However, this song still holds up. Bon Iver is a main at depicting what it'south like to fully surrender yourself to someone while aware that they may hurt y'all in the end. I still sing this song while I lounge effectually my trivial studio apartment, drawing on real-life experiences this time, though I assure y'all that none of them involved blood-filled sinks or crushed veneers.
"Leather and Lace" - Stevie Nicks & Don Henley
Virtually romantic lyrics: "Lovers forever, face to face/ My city, your mountains/ Stay with me, stay/ I need you to beloved me/ I need you today/ Requite me to me your leather, take from me my lace"
Rationale: This is Stevie Nicks' lyricism at its most poignant. She wrote "Leather and Lace" herself and then performed it with Don Henley (of The Eagles) while they were dating. This duet is beautiful in and of itself, just their chemical science and passion for each other makes information technology all the more than impactful. An ex played this for me in one case, unprompted, and I recollect thinking, My God, dude. Why would you lot do 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 arrange it?/ 'Cause I love you/ Only the mode y'all look tonight"
Rationale: Ah, yeah. The song that plays at every wedding on earth. Popular songs are pop for a reason, though, and this 1 endures because of the accepting, unconditional sort of dearest that information technology depicts. In add-on to Sinatra's version, I'm also partial to Fred Astaire's rendition in the 1936 film Swing Time and the sweetness yet tongue-in-cheek visuals become along with it.
"Everlasting Light" - The Black Keys
Most romantic lyrics: "Allow me be your everlasting light/ Your railroad train going away from pain/ Beloved is the coal that makes this train roll/ Let me exist your everlasting calorie-free"
Rationale: If you lot read the lyrics without the music, the whole song sounds kind of like a late nineteenth century poem. The dear in this song is and then pure and hopeful, and you'll definitely gain cool-points by playing The Black Keys on a get-go date.
"To Know Him Is To Honey Him" - Amy Winehouse
Most romantic lyrics: "To know, know, know him/ Is to love, love, honey him/ Only to run into that smile/ Makes my life worthwhile"
Rationale: No one does unbridled love similar Amy Winehouse. Her soulful voice takes center stage in this Phil Spector encompass, and if you lot're not already in beloved, it will brand you lot want to be.
"Similar Real People Do" - Hozier
Most romantic lyrics: "I will not ask you where y'all came from/ I volition not ask yous, neither should y'all/ Beloved, but put your sweetness lips on my lips/ We should only kiss like real people do"
Rationale: Here, Hozier is trying to convince his love interest to forget that they both take pasts (who doesn't?) and to just beloved him. There's a sense that both people in the vocal consider themselves odd in some way (once again, who doesn't?), and that they've been searching for partners similar each other for ages. "Similar Real People Practice" reminds us of how miraculous it feels to dear and exist loved back.
"Tin't Take My Optics Off You lot" - Franki Valli & The Four Seasons
Virtually romantic lyrics: "You're just too expert to be truthful/ Can't accept my eyes off of you/ You'd be like heaven to touch/ I wanna hold you then much"
Rationale: To quote every Boomer from my home state of New Jersey: They just don't make 'em like this anymore. And it'southward true―this song manages to balance emotional and sexual yearning without being crude.
And just... the gratitude Valli feels when he sings about loving his girl then much that he thanks God he's live. My Lord. They really just do non make 'em quite like this anymore.
"Forrest Gump" - Frank Ocean
Nearly romantic lyrics: "My fingertips and my lips/ They burn from the cigarettes/ Forrest Gump, you run my mind, boy/ Running on my heed, boy"
Rationale: This is Frank Body of water's most criminally underrated song and I will fight anyone who has anything negative to say about it. In fact, I once made a very loud, spirited defense of this song when I was in high school, correct after Sea's sick-received performance of it at the 2013 Grammys.
The song is told from the perspective of Jenny in the 1994 motion picture Forrest Gump. It'south well-nigh a cleaved, tired person coming dorsum to their pure, enduring love after a corking deal of time has passed. It's especially meaningful, in my stance, considering Ocean penned the song in the wake of his very public coming-out.
"Take Me The Way I Am" - Ingrid Michaelson
Most romantic lyrics: "'Cause I dearest you lot more than I could ever hope/ And you have me the style I am"
Rationale: What a throwback! Ingrid Michaelson was responsible for some of the sweetest manic-pixie-dream-girl dear songs of the early 2000s, and this i was her most popular. Michaelson rejoices in having establish 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'g Not Expressionless" - P!nk
About romantic lyrics: "Right beyond the cigarette and the devilish smile/You're my fissure of sunlight/ You tin practice the math a g ways/ But you tin't erase the facts/ That others come up and others go/ Just you always come back"
Rationale: This is my favorite era of P!nk's music. In "I'm Non Expressionless," she writes a frank, unapologetic honey song about being a flawed human securely in love with another flawed human. Waxing poetic about her and her boyfriend's (her time to come husband, Cary Hart, by the way) tattoos and alluding to her own mental affliction, P!nk eschews all tired clichés nigh beloved in favor of something far more authentic and affecting.
"Hannah Hunt" - Vampire Weekend
Most romantic lyrics: "A man 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.South. with his beloved Hannah until she grows homesick for the east coast. Having lived in New England for around seven years, I'm partial to this vocal for its "freezing beaches" references, but it's also a gentle tribute to the way time glides abroad when you're with someone y'all love.
"A Song For You" - Donny Hathaway
Most romantic lyrics: "I love you lot in a identify/ Where there's no space or time/ I dearest you lot for my life/ Y'all're a friend of mine/ And when my life is over/ Remember when we were together"
Rationale: There have been many versions of this vocal, but this one's my favorite. It was besides Amy Winehouse's favorite. Donny Hathaway sings this with such feeling that i can't assistance but feel he'southward reciting a memoir when he sings his apology to a woman he neglected to settle down with because he was too decorated performing around the world.
"Maps" - Yes Yes Yeahs
Most romantic lyrics: "Don't stray/ My kind's your kind/ I'll stay the same."
Rationale: Yes, this song is 90 percent but Karen O singing "Wait, they don't dear you similar I dearest you," only it'south so powerful! If you say something the right manner, and the accompanying music is good enough, there's no demand to embellish much more. Proof: Beyoncé conspicuously nods to this song in her 2022 single "Hold Up." "Maps" endures, over a decade after, across genres.
"If I Ain't Got You" - Alicia Keys
Almost romantic lyrics: "Some people want diamond rings/ Some just want everything/ But everything means zip/ If I own't got you"
Rationale: This song is all the more touching when you recall that she wrote information technology only 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 countless life would all mean nothing if she didn't have her man.
"Pine Tree Lines" - Told Slant
Most romantic lines: "I am the daughter my parents made/ Why don't you love me anyway/ 'Cause I love the fashion you take up space"
Rationale: Devastating genius. Atomic number 82 vocaliser Felix Walworth delivers this song then earnestly that his vocalization literally cracks during that last line. I've never heard a simpler or more than startlingly accurate depiction of adoration than loving the way someone takes up space.
"Inevitable" - Shakira
Almost romantic lyrics: "To exist even more honest/ No i thinks near you/ The mode I practice" (Translated from Spanish)
Rationale: Shakira spends nigh of this vocal 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 then proceeds to enquire her human being to love her anyway.
"I Found Y'all" - Alabama Shakes
Most romantic lyrics: "I remember all them lonely days/ I traveled out on my own/ Then you lot brought me everything/ You made my house a abode"
Rationale: This is a celebration of finally finding your person. Then who meliorate to listen to it with than your person? Romantic, indeed.
"Rag Doll" - Franki Valli & The Four Seasons
Most romantic lines: "I'd alter her sad rags/ Into glad rags if I could/ My folks won't let me/ 'Cause they say that she's no good."
Rationale: Another Four Seasons vocal, yes. I'k from Jersey. Sue me.
Franki Valli declares his unconditional dearest for a girl much poorer than he is, fantasizing about replacing her tattered apparel with lace and finery. In spite of her poverty, he ends the song by crying, "I beloved you just the way you are."
He wants to give everything to someone who can offering him zilch material. All he wants is her.
"Since I've Been Loving You" - Led Zeppelin
Nigh romantic lyrics: "But baby, since I've been loving you, yep/ I'g about to lose my worried mind/ Oh, yeah"
Rationale: Man, these lyrics expect so underwhelming when written down sans musical accompaniment. It'southward 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 blues vocal that hits you correct in the gut. If desperate desire were a sound, this would be it.
"Y'all Got Me" - Erykah Badu and The Roots
Nigh romantic lines: "If you don't worry 'tour where/ I been or who I saw or/ What club I went to with my homies/ Baby, don't worry, y'all know that y'all got me"
Rationale: I cried when I saw this live. Erykah reassures her beau during the chorus that she'll always be loyal to him, while Blackness Thought (atomic number 82 MC of The Roots) uses his verses to tell the story of a lifelong romance. It's the best dear song in hip hop, hands down.
"(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Adult female - Aretha Franklin
Nearly romantic lyrics: "When my soul was in the lost and found/ You lot came along to claim information technology/ I didn't know just what was wrong with me/ 'Til your kiss helped me proper name it"
Rationale: We should heal ourselves rather than wait around for someone to heal usa, but that doesn't hateful that honey tin can't be a healing experience. It's actually romantic to thank someone for making you lot feel skilful, and that's precisely what this song (written by the flawless Carole Male monarch) is about.
"Jade" - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Nigh romantic lyrics: "We can't assistance but follow, she's Buddha, just sentry her/ She moves similar an former gypsy woman but swears she's a girl/ And all that she asks nosotros'll allow her/ For Jade is the girl of the hour"
Rationale: Alex Ebert wrote this song for Jade Castrinos when they were both yet dating and still the frontpeople of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. The song is a repose love letter to Castrinos―you lot could imagine Ebert singing it to her at night by the campfire while the rest of the band is asleep (that's this band's vibe, actually). It'due south a shame that nosotros no longer get to watch the sweet relationship between these talented musicians, simply at least we'll always have this hippie love song.
"Wild Horses" - The Rolling Stones
About romantic lyrics: "Graceless lady/ You know who I am/ Y'all know I can't let you/ Slide through my hands/ Wild horses/ Couldn't drag me away"
Rationale: One of the wildest bands of the '60s and '70s too happened to write ane of the most poignant songs almost dear and devotion. This is about a long, deep intimacy between 2 people, and of being physically unable to resist the person you adore.
"Jim Bogart" - The Front Bottoms
Most romantic lyrics: "I would slumber improve on your flooring/ Than I would ever in my bed/ And if your rug makes my confront itch/ It'd notwithstanding be heaven in my head"
Rationale: "Jim Bogart" opens with the above lyrics, sung with lead vocalizer Brian Sella'due south signature raw vocals. He abandons all pride in his love for this girl, promising to exercise his guitar every night, to sleep on her flooring without complaint, and to to ignore his md's advice―all to win her love. We shouldn't have to debase ourselves for love (*rolls eyes* yep, yeah yep), but this is art. And if we're being honest, this sentiment is relatable for anyone who's prayed for their love to be reciprocated.
"Loving Y'all" - Elvis Presley
Most romantic lyrics: "If I'thou seen with someone new/ Don't be blue, don't you be blue/ I'll exist true-blue, I'll be true/ Always true, true to you"
Rationale: Elvis tells his love not to become 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 married woman, Priscilla, this remains his sweetest love vocal.
"Melissa" - The Allman Brothers Band
About romantic lyrics: "Knowing many, loving none/ Bearin' sorrow, havin' fun/ Just back home he'll always run/ To sweet Melissa"
Rationale: Here, the Allman Brothers sing about a traveling musician who can't go over his sweetheart no matter how many other women he meets. She always ends up resurfacing in his heed, and eventually, he always returns to her.
"My One-time Man" - Joni Mitchell
Almost romantic lyrics: "He'southward my sunshine in the morning/ He's my fireworks at the finish of the day/ He's the warmest chord I always head/ Play that warm chord, play and stay, babe"
Rationale: Mitchell'due south soaring mezzo-soprano meanders through a portrait of her relationship in this song, insisting throughout that, "We don't demand no piece of paper from the city hall." She'south maxim that she doesn't demand external validation of the human relationship―this human being gives her all she needs to feel secure in their bond.
"Devil In a New Dress" - Kanye West, Rick Ross
Most romantic lyrics: "Put your hands to the constellations/ The way you look should exist a sin, you lot my sensation"
Rationale: Kanye West is a pretty polarizing figure, but this is still one of my favorite albums of all fourth dimension. It'due south a bloodshot tribute to his infamous relationship with Bister Rose, and this song encapsulates the frequently-sexy, always-complicated connexion between two people who aren't good for each other, notwithstanding tin can't stay abroad from ane another.
"Honey of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop)" - Erykah Badu, Common
Most romantic lyrics: "Simply 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/ Beloved of my life"
Rationale: Conventional communication tells u.s.a. to fall in beloved with someone who can be our friend, too. This song is nearly two lifelong best friends who find their way back to each other later time spent apart. With her famously fallacious voice, Erykah Badu captures the joy of being truly known by ane's partner.
"A Dominicus Kind of Love" - Etta James
Most romantic lyrics: "I want a Sunday kind of love/ A love to final past Sat night/ I want to know it's more than love at starting time sight"
Rationale: Nosotros've all been at this point earlier. If Etta James were to have written this vocal today, she would have been explaining that she was sick of one-night-stands and Tinder/Bumble/Swivel dates that go nowhere. She'd be proverb 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'south Creek reruns with on the weekends.
May we all observe that Lord's day kind dear.

"She Will Be Loved" - Maroon 5
Near romantic lyrics:"I don't mind spendin' everyday / Out on your corner in the pourin' rain"
Rationale:I remember listening to this vocal in middle school, wishing that the male child I had a crush on would dearest me plenty to stand outside my window in the rain. In hindsight, that would have been awkward and inconvenient to explicate to my mother, and these days I would probably notice such beliefs creepy (when I'm in my pajamas in my apartment, peacefully eating Takis and watching The Sopranos, the concluding matter I demand is a homo standing outside, watching me from the street similar something out of The Exorcist), but the sentiment of this song still stands.
"Because the Nighttime" - Patti Smith
Most romantic lyrics: "Come on, now, try and empathise/ The way I experience when I'yard in your hands/ Take my hand, come undercover/ They can't injure y'all now"

"Wouldn't Information technology Be Nice" - The Beach Boys
Almost romantic lyrics: "Wouldn't it be prissy if we were older?/ Then nosotros wouldn't have to wait and so long"

"Stay" - Rihanna, Mikky Ekko
Most romantic lyrics: "Not really certain how to feel almost it/ Somethin' in the style you move/ Makes me feel like I can't live without you"
Rationale: Love isn't a formula. There's no existent logic to why we autumn in dear with some people but not others, and Rihanna hits the smash on the head when she says it's just "something in the mode [he] move[s]." It'southward reminiscent of The Beatles' song "Something." Speaking of which...
"Something" - The Beatles

"Androgynous" - The Replacements
Most romantic lyrics: "And they love each other and then/ Androgynous/ Closer than we know, love each other then/ Androgynous"
Rationale: This song is nearly two not-binary people falling in love, which is pretty cool for a song from 1984. Our chief characters, archetypically named Dick and Jane, dear each other regardless of gender. The Replacements make a compelling argument well-nigh why traditional gender roles and vesture should make no difference if y'all're truly in love with someone.
"I'll Be Seeing You" - Billie Holiday
Most romantic lyrics: "I'll find y'all in the morning sun/ In every lovely summer's day/ In everything that's correct and gay/ I'll e'er remember of you lot"

"Dominicus Candy" - Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment
Most romantic lyrics: "Y'all've got to move it slowly/ Have it in my body similar it's holy/ I've been waiting for you lot for the whole week/ I've been praying for y'all, you're my Sunday processed"
Rationale: The Social Experiment is the hip hop collective that boasts members such equally Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa (the former of which is featured heavily on this song). Jamila Wood performs the chorus to this vocal then sweetly that it'southward like shooting fish in a barrel to forget the sexual implications, and she and Take a chance tell the story of a couple that spends a week at a time missing each other, absorbed in thoughts of one another until they're finally reunited.

Most romantic lyrics: "Come up as you lot are/ Every bit yous were/ Equally I desire you lot to be"
Rationale: There are many interpretations of what this song means, ranging from mental wellness to friendship to commentary on inauthenticity. Merely, to me, "Come Equally You lot Are" works as the ultimate grunge love vocal; as a promise to love and capeesh someone just the way they are.
"Please, Delight, Please" - James Brownish
Most romantic lyrics: "Infant please, babe please, please me/ Babe please, infant please don't get/ Don't go, I said baby, don't baby/ I love y'all so"
Rationale: This song is nearly entirely comprised of James Brown repeating "please," and, supposedly, he got a lot of flack from his producers about that earlier its release. But, like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps," this rails's magic lies in the passion with which it'southward delivered–and James Brownish is nothing if non passionate.
"I Will Always Honey You" - Dolly Parton
Almost romantic lyrics: "And I promise life will treat you kind/ And I hope that y'all accept all/ That you always dreamed of/ Oh, I do wish you joy/ And I wish you happiness/ But above all this/ I wish you love"
Rationale: Without a dubiety, yous're familiar with Whitney Houston's rendition of "I Will Ever Love Y'all," but I love Dolly Parton's soft-spoken, country version as well. Where Houston belts, Parton croons, making this a great culling for when you want to hear this song on a tranquility evening in.
"Songbird" - Fleetwood Mac
Most romantic lyrics: "And I wish you all the honey in the world/ But about of all, I wish it from myself/ And the songbirds keep singing/ Like they know the score"
Rationale: Fleetwood Mac's members were notorious for hooking up inside their ranks, and Christine McVie (writer and principal vocalist on this song) was no exception. This is a unique love vocal, because it does unconditional honey different any other: It illustrates how it'southward entirely possible to love someone and want the best for them while accepting, albeit sadly, that you might non be that best thing.
"Get-go Day of My Life" - Bright Eyes
Nigh romantic lyrics: "Only I realized I need you lot/ And I wondered if I could come abode"
Rationale: This Vivid Eyes track makes me wish I was amend at playing guitar. Frontman Conor Oberst makes a frank plea for his love, telling her, "I'm glad I didn't die before I met you," and request for permission to arroyo. It'due south an exercise in startling honesty, and the upshot, similar the whole anthology, is profound.
"Ocean of Love" - Cat Power
Most romantic lyrics: "Come up with me, my dearest/ To the ocean, the sea of dearest/ I wanna tell you/ How much I love you "
Rationale: Originally, the terminal song on this list was going to be T.I.'due south "Whatever You Like" because I'm determined that it will play at my wedding ceremony one day (I'1000 not kidding), but "Sea of Love" is too romantic to pass up.
