Now that the month of February is coming to a close, it's time to reminice on the good times that it brought is, specifically Valentine's Day. With love and galentine friendship in the air, there are a few songs that go perfectly with the February mood. Here are some of the best love songs for you and your SO.
1. "Wonderwall"- Oasis
Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
2. "Chasing Cars"- Snow Patrol
This is one of my favorite, and I think that it has always been a go-to for the lovestruck. Also, this song should ALWAYS play at any type of school dance.
3. "You and Me"- Lifehouse
A beatiful song with easy lyrics to follow. It helps that the singer is so darn cute, I can't help but feel butterflies!
4. "The Only Exception"- Paramore
Thirteen year old me would blast this and sing about the past heartbreak and newfound love as if I had actually experienced it.
5. "Home"- Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros
If you haven't heard this folksy song of two people being in love, you need to. Here you go.
6. "High Hopes"- Kodaline
This song is sweet, and the video is even sweeter, with two people chosing each other over the outside world. Honestly, the song doesn't reach its full potential until you watch the video.
7. "Peach"- The Front Bottoms
If you like indie rock, this song is for you. "You are my peach, you are my plum. You are my earth, you are my sun."
8. "Medicine"- The 1975
So so so so many of their songs are like liquid love. Or liquid anti-love. But the intro to Medicine, when the guitar starts to play, it sounds like falling in love. A realization. THE moment.
9. "First Day of My Life"- Bright Eyes
I have always thought that the premise of this song was the most romantic thing ever. The first day that my life began was the day that I saw you. If a boy ever said that to me, I'd melt right to the floor.
10. "I Wanna Be Yours"- Arctic Monkeys
Hunky Alex Turner and his low, sexy voice telling me he wants to be mine. I'm in, sign me up.
11. "I Will Follow You into the Dark"- Death Cab For Cutie
Acoustic always strums my heart strings, and this song has a special place in my heart.
12. "Kiss Me"- Ed Sheeran
Any Ed Sheeran song is good, but I think this is his best. It's truly romantic, not just thinly guised as romantic like The A Team.
13. "Come On Get Higher"- Matt Nathanson
Smooth, silky, and slightly explicit.
14. "You and I"- Ingrid Michaelson
Pretty ukuele, acting like bunnies, both a duet and a chorus, this song hits all the high notes of a cute love song.
15. "If I Tremble"- Front Porch Step
"If I tremble at the sight of you, it's not because I'm cold. It's because I'm staring at the girl I want to love me when I'm old". I shake when I get nervous around boys, so this song is perfect and lovely.
16. "I'm In Love with You"- Joy Williams
This is the song for an older me, when I'm waking up in bed with my husband at my side and children in the next room. It's a song where you already know you're in love, you have been for years and it's only getting better.
17. "Sloppy Seconds"- Watsky
Watsky is a master of spoken poetry and rap, and he's also a big softy. Sloppy seconds says that you're fine no matter where you've been. Maybe you're even better because of your scars.
18."Your Song"- Rita Ora
Her voice is absolutely magical. And she only wants love songs.
19. "Mine"- Taylor Swift
The pre-teen inside of me was screaming for old school Taylor to be included on this list.
20. "Name"- The Goo Goo Dolls
I have always loved The Goo Goo Dolls. I feel like this song is very melancholic, because it's sung as if he's having to encourage a lover to come back, and he won't spoil her secret.
21. "A Thousand Miles"- Vanessa Carlton
A song that any age can picture singing with their loved one. Even Terry Crews loves this song!
22. "Fall into Me"- Brantley Gilbert
I'm not usually one to like country, but I think the slow lyrics are romantic, and Gilbert artfully infuses them with emotion.
23. "505"- Arctic Monkeys
They deserve another spot on this list with this song, since he waited so long for her in room 505.
24. "I Miss You"- Blink-182
As surprising as it is that they made it on the list, Blink-182 managed to make this (bitter?)sweet song.
25. "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out"- Citizen (The Smiths cover)
What's more romantic than someone saying that if they were going to get hit by a bus, by your side is where they want to be?
26. "Vanilla Twilight"- Owl City
Remember Owl City? Yeah, he came out with this sweet gem.
27. "Just Like Heaven"- The Cure
I heard this from a movie with the same name starring Mark Ruffalo and Reese Witherspoon, and it's one of my favorite songs.
28. "All My Days"- Alexi Murdoch
It's you I've been looking for.
29. "Can't Help Falling In Love"- Twenty One Pilots (Elvis cover)
Elvis know that what he was writing would make people swoon. And Tyler gave it a cute twist with the ukulele.
30. "Fallingforyou"- The 1975
To close up the list, here's another 1975 song. "I don't wanna be your friend, I wanna kiss your neck".
I would have like to add more to this list because there are so many good love songs. But here are some of my favorites!
