Music is one of my favorite things in the world and, naturally, I enjoy making playlists. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, here is a small playlist of 10 of my favorite songs about love, all of which have a similar indie, soft sound. Whether you are in a relationship or crushing hard, this mixtape is for you.
1. I Only See You - Benton Paul
"I only see you in all that I do, to the rest I am blind. / I don't want something new, other than you, for the rest of my life."
2. Wasn't Expecting That - Jamie Lawson
"What did I get right to deserve somebody like you? I wasn't expecting that."
3. Hourglass - Catfish and the Bottlemen
"And I'm so impatient when you're not mine. / I just wanna catch up on all the lost times."
4. So Close - Jon Mclaughlin
"So close to reaching that famous happy end. / Almost believing this one's not pretend. / Now you're beside me, and look how far we've come."
5. Yours - Ella Henderson
"I feel like I'm ready for love, and I wanna be your everything and more."
6. Perfect For Me - Ron Pope
"I know you too well to say you're perfect, but you'll see, oh my sweet love, you're perfect for me."
