Love songs are all around us. Not only has it been one of
the most
popular themes in music for the last six decades, but “love” has also been
one of the most popular words in songs for the same period of time. This means that
there is no shortage of songs to tell your significant other how you feel about
them on Valentine’s Day.
We all know that the right song can set the mood for a day
or moment. The same goes for love songs. Just as cathartic as they might be for
their singers, the right love song can help it’s listener express how they feel
about their significant other.
In honor of Valentine’s Day, Vinyl Bay 777, Long Island’s
music outlet, has created a list of some of our favorite love songs from the
last six decades. Here are seven songs to help you express your feelings to the
one you love.
1.
Ed Sheeran, “Perfect”: Ed Sheeran always has
that one song on an album that screams “I Love You” from the top of its lungs. On
2017’s ‘÷,’ that song was “Perfect.” The vivid image Sheeran paints with his words,
describing the love he has for his girl, combined with its waltz timing and
heart-fluttering voice, can’t help but make you smile. This song is bound to be
the wedding song of so many couples to come. (video)
2.
Sixpence None the Richer, “Kiss Me”: Sixpence
None the Richer had two hits in their career: their cover of The La’s “There
She Goes” and original “Kiss Me.” The latter’s ultra-sweet lyrics about the
perfect way to end the perfect date continue to invoke warm thoughts nearly two
decades later. (video)
3.
Savage
Garden, “Truly, Madly, Deeply”: There’s a reason why “Truly, Madly, Deeply”
is one of those songs that people constantly come back to on Valentine’s Day
year after year. The devotion expressed in the song’s lyrics is sweet without
being too over the top (a la Bruno Mars’ “Grenade”). Anyone who loves love has to admire the kind
that will withstand the end of the world. (video)
4.
Stevie
Wonder, “I Just Called to Say I Love You”: Another song that gets renewed
interest every Valentine’s Day, “I Just Called to Say I Love You” is Wonder’s
ode to the power of the words “I Love You.” Letting the one you love know how
you feel and that you care is important, especially when it’s not expected. (video)
5.
Elvis
Presley, “Can’t Help Falling in Love”: A classic inside and out, Presley’s “Can’t
Help Falling in Love” has been covered by just about everyone. Its smooth
melody, with its slight country tinge, and sweet, innocent lyrics convey the
feeling of loving someone so completely. (video)
6.
Celine
Dion, “Because You Loved Me”: Actions speak louder than words and the
lyrics for “Because You Loved Me” attest to that. The song describes the
gratefulness the protagonist feels from their partner whose love has helped
them be the best they could be, even at their lowest point. Now that’s love. (video)
7.
All-4-One, “I Swear”: Originally written by John
Michael Montgomery and most famously covered by All-4-One, “I Swear” is a passionate
confession of one’s devotion to their partner. The protagonist here is overwhelmingly
in love with their significant other, to the point that they want to spend the
rest of their lives with them. (video)
Love is a very popular theme in music and has been for
decades. That is why it is imperative to find the right one that expresses
precisely how you feel about your significant other. Check out some of our
favorites above and let us know what your favorite love songs are. Happy
Valentine’s Day!
