Best love songs for me: Maybe I’m Amazed by Paul McCartney and Case of You by Joni Mitchell which I believe is a beautiful song depicting more complex, deep but insufficient love.
I think you'd love Noah Kahan's album Stick Season. The songs are heartbreakingly beautiful and full of very good metaphores and allegories. Hope you analise some of his lyrics soon
Yeah, I Will Always Love You was the first one that came to mind, and I got a nice smile once I saw that was one of the two in this video. I'm trying to think of others, but all that's coming to mind are the great ones from musicals like A Whole New World, I See the Light, etc. Oh! I thought of one that's kind of a smart-alec answer (but still genuinely a magnificent song), Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder. :)
Ooooh I'm very excited to get into the musical space soon :D and idk, I think Isn't She Lovely is a great love song! Doesn't have to be limited to romantic love :)
Neither are "the best love songs of all time" (and anyway, music/the arts is not a football game!). They're classics, but I wouldn't say that's even the best love song that The Beatles ever put out (they put out many, many classic love songs. There even was a great compilation double album, "The Beatles Love Songs" in the 70s). But Cole Porter's "Every Time We Say Goodbye" or an old standard like "You Stepped Out Of A Dream"...or "Stardust"! 1964 alone had both "My Girl" AND "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" just for a start (The Beatles had "And I Love Her" and "If I Fell" the same year as well) There are a MILLION love songs, there are probably 1000 contenders tied for #1.
Yeah, most songs are love songs, so too many contenders for sure! Tbh, I was surprised Something was on a lot of the lists I looked at, but once I broke down the words it made a bit more sense. Probably wouldn't make my top 5 though haha! Thanks for adding some of your favs as well ^.^
