Butterflies in your stomach, The smell of roses and chocolate, and the soft sweetness in the air surrounding you. Feb has made it to our door step and it is time to let it in. Valentine’s Day is all about love. There is also the giving and receiving of gifts from those you care about, but what helps describe love better than a love song? That is besides a love poem. Actually here’s a good poem; roses are red, violets are blue, here are the top five recommended love songs that you should listen to:
At number five is the song, “love is mine all mine” by Mitski. Her gentle voice makes you feel like an old couple willing to spend life together, till death do them part. This song really focuses on the internal beauty of love itself. It makes you want to treat love like the most fragile and precious thing in the world, to share your love even after life ends.
Coming in at number four is, “Gonna love me” by Teyana Taylor. Relationships can have their highs and people like to show it, but they don’t really talk about the lows. This song talks about those downs. It really focuses on enduring the struggles and finding a deep love within those challenges. It shows their commitment to that person and their willingness to overcome it all. The passion and longing in her voice makes you really appreciate your partner and makes you really think, are your lows really that low?
Now at the top three, coming in third ‘Power trip’ By J Cole. Do not be fooled by the nice beats and the steady tempo. Cole’s song is a complex unrequitedly obsessed love song that talks about the intense jealousy and possessiveness you can feel when you are in love with someone that you can not have, causing you sleepless nights and constant thoughts of them. We all go through this feeling sometimes, just do not let it get the best of you like Mr. Cole.
At number two, an oldie but goodie, ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’ By Elvis Presley. A beautiful slow love song that was a hit when it first came out. Expressing the overwhelming feeling of deeply falling for someone. A beautiful surrender to love. A song to slow dance with your partner too. Leaving a warm feeling in your heart and a warm hand in yours. Take things slow and learn to love because you know what the wise men say “only fools rush in.”
And last but definitely not least, number one on the chart ‘Perfect’ By Ed Sheeran. The perfect love song. Celebrating true love and a lifelong partnership. His sentimental lyrics about seeing someone as perfect and growing old really captures a timeless and heartfelt romance. It makes you want to hold your loved one close and never let go. Even as time flies you know that you will still have each other.
Valentine’s Day songs help express feelings that can be hard to say out loud. Whether you are celebrating love or reflecting on past relationships, these songs make the day more meaningful. Music truly brings any moment to life.
