I Know That I Would Not Ever Touch You Hold You Feel You in My Arms Ever Again
Motion picture this: You've orchestrated the perfect at-home date for your meaning other, featuring candles, wine, and a lovingly home-cooked (or lovingly ordered via app) dinner. But only as your person texts you that they're on their style, yous realize that you have no idea what sort of music to play to retain the romantic ambience. Afterwards all, yous tin't have your early 2000s guilty pleasure songs come up up on shuffle while you're trying to stare lovingly into your partner's eyes (nil ruins the mood like the distinctive "youuuuuu" at the beginning of "Soulja Boy." And yes, that example is based on a true story).
Anyhow, I've got you lot covered with my list of the almost beautiful, hopeful, and achingly romantic songs ever written (in my humble stance). You'll have your crush/partner/Bumble date swooning.
"ROS" - Mac Miller
Almost romantic lyrics: "I'1000 in your heart, I'thou in your dream/ And then fuck the world information technology's you and me"
Rationale: When the exterior globe becomes barbarous, many couples turn inward and develop that united states-against-the-world mindset. In "ROS," Mac Miller captures what it's like to feel shut to someone, spending much of this song describing the little things he loves almost his partner, like her "stained glass" eyes, butterscotch-scented peel, and kiwi-flavored lips. The lyrics are intimate in every way, and Mac delivers them with his characteristic rawness.
"These Arms of Mine" - Otis Redding
Most romantic lyrics: "These arms of mine, they are alone/ Lone and feeling blue/ These arms of mine, they are yearning/ Yearning from wanting you lot"
Rationale: This song hits me right in the breast. It'southward incommunicable non to feel your artillery and chest aching like Reddings' when he sings nearly burning to agree his lover. The music crescendos around his smooth voice every bit he begs, "And if y'all would let them agree you/ Oh, how grateful I would be." It's such a sweet, earnest plea for beloved, and its focus on physicality is pretty sexy, too.
"Ex Cistron" - Lauryn Hill
Most romantic lyrics: "See, no one loves yous more than me/ and no one ever volition"
Rationale: No 1 knows how to obliterate me emotionally quite similar Lauryn Hill does. In "Ex Gene" (and on this whole album, allow's be real), she's vulnerable, baring all her devotion to her boyfriend. Nosotros recognize straightaway that her relationship is toxic, but Hill's honesty is so beautiful that we apprehensive listeners take no choice only to sit, transfixed, and listen.
"Skinny Love" - Bon Iver
Most romantic lyrics: "Told my love to wreck it all/ Cut out all the ropes and let me autumn"
Rationale: When this song came out in 2007, I was in eye school. I could not stop singing it as I traipsed through my house, nearly-tears as I crooned near "the sink of blood and crushed veneer," every bit though my twelve years on earth had been rife with tragic love affairs.
Nevertheless, this song still holds up. Bon Iver is a master at depicting what information technology's like to fully surrender yourself to someone while enlightened that they may hurt you in the end. I yet sing this song while I lounge around my picayune studio apartment, cartoon on existent-life experiences this fourth dimension, though I clinch you that none of them involved blood-filled sinks or crushed veneers.
"Leather and Lace" - Stevie Nicks & Don Henley
Almost romantic lyrics: "Lovers forever, face to face/ My urban center, your mountains/ Stay with me, stay/ I need you to honey me/ I need y'all today/ Give me to me your leather, take from me my lace"
Rationale: This is Stevie Nicks' lyricism at its most poignant. She wrote "Leather and Lace" herself and and so performed information technology with Don Henley (of The Eagles) while they were dating. This duet is cute in and of itself, merely their chemistry and passion for each other makes information technology all the more impactful. An ex played this for me once, unprompted, and I remember thinking, My God, dude. Why would you practice this to me?
Wrecked.
The Way Y'all Look This night" - Frank Sinatra
Most romantic lyrics: "Lovely, never, never change/ keep that breathless charm/ won't you please adapt it?/ 'Cause I love yous/ Just the way yous await tonight"
Rationale: Ah, yes. The song that plays at every wedding on world. Popular songs are popular for a reason, though, and this one endures because of the accepting, unconditional sort of love that it depicts. In addition to Sinatra's version, I'm also partial to Fred Astaire's rendition in the 1936 film Swing Fourth dimension and the sweet however tongue-in-cheek visuals go along with information technology.
"Everlasting Light" - The Black Keys
Most romantic lyrics: "Let me exist your everlasting light/ Your railroad train going away from pain/ Love is the coal that makes this railroad train roll/ Let me be your everlasting light"
Rationale: If yous read the lyrics without the music, the whole vocal sounds kind of similar a tardily nineteenth century poem. The love in this song is so pure and hopeful, and you'll definitely gain cool-points by playing The Black Keys on a first date.
"To Know Him Is To Dear Him" - Amy Winehouse
Nearly romantic lyrics: "To know, know, know him/ Is to love, love, love him/ Just to see that smile/ Makes my life worthwhile"
Rationale: No one does unbridled love like Amy Winehouse. Her soulful vocalisation takes heart stage in this Phil Spector cover, and if you're not already in beloved, it will brand you want to exist.
"Similar Real People Do" - Hozier
Nigh romantic lyrics: "I will non ask y'all where you came from/ I volition not ask you, neither should you/ Love, but put your sweet lips on my lips/ We should only buss like real people exercise"
Rationale: Here, Hozier is trying to convince his love interest to forget that they both have pasts (who doesn't?) and to just love him. There's a sense that both people in the vocal consider themselves odd in some way (again, who doesn't?), and that they've been searching for partners like each other for ages. "Like Real People Exercise" reminds us of how miraculous information technology feels to love and be loved back.
"Can't Take My Optics Off Yous" - Franki Valli & The Four Seasons
Most romantic lyrics: "You're simply too adept to be true/ Tin can't take my eyes off of you/ You'd be similar heaven to impact/ I wanna concur you and so much"
Rationale: To quote every Boomer from my home state of New Jersey: They just don't brand 'em like this anymore. And it's true―this song manages to balance emotional and sexual yearning without being crude.
And merely... the gratitude Valli feels when he sings nigh loving his daughter then much that he thank you God he's alive. My Lord. They really just practise not make 'em quite like this anymore.
"Forrest Gump" - Frank Ocean
Virtually romantic lyrics: "My fingertips and my lips/ They burn from the cigarettes/ Forrest Gump, y'all run my mind, boy/ Running on my mind, boy"
Rationale: This is Frank Sea's most criminally underrated song and I will fight anyone who has anything negative to say about it. In fact, I once made a very loud, spirited defense of this song when I was in high school, right after Bounding main's sick-received performance of it at the 2013 Grammys.
The song is told from the perspective of Jenny in the 1994 film Forrest Gump. Information technology'south nearly a broken, tired person coming back to their pure, enduring dear later a great bargain of time has passed. It'south specially meaningful, in my opinion, because Sea penned the song in the wake of his very public coming-out.
"Accept Me The Way I Am" - Ingrid Michaelson
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "'Cause I honey you more than than I could ever promise/ And yous accept me the fashion I am"
Rationale: What a throwback! Ingrid Michaelson was responsible for some of the sweetest manic-pixie-dream-daughter love songs of the early 2000s, and this ane was her most popular. Michaelson rejoices in having found a partner who loves her, flaws and all, and she responds in kind, promising to repair what her partner breaks and purchase him Rogaine when his pilus starts falling out. It's a promise to love someone forever.
"I'm Not Dead" - P!nk
Most romantic lyrics: "Right beyond the cigarette and the devilish smile/You're my crack of sunlight/ You tin can practise the math a one thousand means/ But you lot can't erase the facts/ That others come and others become/ Only y'all ever come back"
Rationale: This is my favorite era of P!nk'south music. In "I'one thousand Not Dead," she writes a frank, unapologetic beloved vocal about being a flawed human deeply in love with another flawed human. Waxing poetic almost her and her boyfriend's (her futurity husband, Cary Hart, by the way) tattoos and alluding to her own mental illness, P!nk eschews all tired clichés almost honey in favor of something far more authentic and affecting.
"Hannah Hunt" - Vampire Weekend
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "A human of faith said hidden optics could see what I was thinkin'/ I just smiled and told him/ That was only true of Hannah"
Rationale: Oh, Ezra Koenig, how you wound me with your beautiful words! In this song, our narrator seems to be moving effectually the U.S. with his dear Hannah until she grows homesick for the east coast. Having lived in New England for effectually 7 years, I'm partial to this vocal for its "freezing beaches" references, merely it'due south also a gentle tribute to the way time glides away when you're with someone you love.
"A Song For You lot" - Donny Hathaway
Nearly romantic lyrics: "I love you in a identify/ Where there's no space or time/ I love y'all for my life/ You're a friend of mine/ And when my life is over/ Recollect when we were together"
Rationale: There have been many versions of this song, but this one's my favorite. It was besides Amy Winehouse's favorite. Donny Hathaway sings this with such feeling that one can't assist but feel he's reciting a memoir when he sings his apology to a woman he neglected to settle down with because he was too busy performing around the earth.
"Maps" - Yes Yeah Yeahs
Most romantic lyrics: "Don't stray/ My kind'southward your kind/ I'll stay the same."
Rationale: Yes, this vocal is 90 per centum simply Karen O singing "Wait, they don't love you similar I love yous," just it's and then powerful! If y'all say something the right manner, and the accompanying music is good enough, there's no need to embellish much more. Proof: Beyoncé clearly nods to this song in her 2016 single "Hold Upwards." "Maps" endures, over a decade later, across genres.
"If I Ain't Got You" - Alicia Keys
Near romantic lyrics: "Some people want diamond rings/ Some only want everything/ Simply everything ways nothing/ If I ain't got you"
Rationale: This song is all the more touching when you lot recall that she wrote information technology merely as she was beginning to get famous. She promises that her renown―the fruit of all her labor―along with promises of riches, jewelry, or endless life would all hateful naught if she didn't have her man.
"Pine Tree Lines" - Told Slant
Most romantic lines: "I am the girl my parents made/ Why don't you lot love me anyhow/ 'Cause I love the way y'all take up infinite"
Rationale: Devastating genius. Pb singer Felix Walworth delivers this song then earnestly that his voice literally cracks during that terminal line. I've never heard a simpler or more startlingly authentic delineation of admiration than loving the style someone takes upwardly space.
"Inevitable" - Shakira
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "To be even more honest/ No 1 thinks about you/ The way I practise" (Translated from Castilian)
Rationale: Shakira spends well-nigh of this song laying out all her imperfections―that she doesn't know how to make coffee, that she doesn't understand soccer, that she oversleeps, etc.―and then proceeds to enquire her man to love her anyhow.
"I Establish Y'all" - Alabama Shakes
Most romantic lyrics: "I think all them lonely days/ I traveled out on my own/ So you brought me everything/ You made my house a domicile"
Rationale: This is a commemoration of finally finding your person. So who better to listen to it with than your person? Romantic, indeed.
"Rag Doll" - Franki Valli & The Iv Seasons
Most romantic lines: "I'd change her deplorable rags/ Into glad rags if I could/ My folks won't permit me/ 'Cause they say that she's no good."
Rationale: Another Four Seasons song, aye. I'm from Jersey. Sue me.
Franki Valli declares his unconditional beloved for a girl much poorer than he is, fantasizing about replacing her tattered dress with lace and finery. In spite of her poverty, he ends the song by crying, "I love you just the manner you are."
He wants to requite everything to someone who can offer him nothing fabric. All he wants is her.
"Since I've Been Loving You" - Led Zeppelin
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "But infant, since I've been loving you, yeah/ I'k nearly to lose my worried heed/ Oh, yes"
Rationale: Man, these lyrics await so underwhelming when written down sans musical accompaniment. It's tragic.
What makes this song and then romantic, to me, is the organ and bass work by John Paul Jones pair with Robert Plant's searing vocals. It's a ability blues song that hits you lot right in the gut. If drastic desire were a sound, this would exist information technology.
"Yous Got Me" - Erykah Badu and The Roots
Most romantic lines: "If you don't worry 'bout where/ I been or who I saw or/ What club I went to with my homies/ Baby, don't worry, you know that you got me"
Rationale: I cried when I saw this live. Erykah reassures her swain during the chorus that she'll always be loyal to him, while Black Thought (lead MC of The Roots) uses his verses to tell the story of a lifelong romance. It'due south the best beloved vocal in hip hop, hands downward.

Most romantic lyrics: "When my soul was in the lost and found/ You came along to claim information technology/ I didn't know only what was incorrect with me/ 'Til your kiss helped me proper noun it"
Rationale: We should heal ourselves rather than wait around for someone to heal us, but that doesn't mean that love can't be a healing experience. It's really romantic to thank someone for making you lot feel good, and that's precisely what this song (written by the flawless Carole Rex) is about.
"Jade" - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
About romantic lyrics: "We can't assist but follow, she'due south Buddha, simply sentinel her/ She moves like an old gypsy adult female but swears she'south a girl/ And all that she asks we'll allow her/ For Jade is the daughter of the hour"
Rationale: Alex Ebert wrote this song for Jade Castrinos when they were both still dating and still the frontpeople of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. The song is a quiet dearest letter of the alphabet to Castrinos―you could imagine Ebert singing information technology to her at nighttime by the campfire while the residue of the band is asleep (that's this band's vibe, really). Information technology'southward a shame that we no longer go to scout the sweetness relationship between these talented musicians, only at to the lowest degree we'll e'er accept this hippie love song.
"Wild Horses" - The Rolling Stones
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "Graceless lady/ You know who I am/ You know I can't let you/ Slide through my hands/ Wild horses/ Couldn't drag me away"

"Jim Bogart" - The Front Bottoms
Nearly romantic lyrics: "I would sleep better on your floor/ Than I would e'er in my bed/ And if your carpet makes my face itch/ It'd however exist sky in my head"
Rationale: "Jim Bogart" opens with the above lyrics, sung with lead singer Brian Sella's signature raw vocals. He abandons all pride in his love for this girl, promising to practice his guitar every dark, to sleep on her flooring without complaint, and to to ignore his doctor'due south communication―all to win her love. We shouldn't take to debase ourselves for love (*rolls optics* yeah, yes yeah), but this is art. And if we're existence honest, this sentiment is relatable for anyone who's prayed for their love to exist reciprocated.
"Loving You" - Elvis Presley
Most romantic lyrics: "If I'1000 seen with someone new/ Don't be blue, don't yous be blue/ I'll be faithful, I'll exist true/ Ever truthful, true to y'all"
Rationale: Elvis tells his beloved not to get jealous or to believe the hype around him and other women, reassuring her that she's the i for him. Although multiple sources have claimed that Elvis did, indeed, cheat on his wife, Priscilla, this remains his sweetest love vocal.

Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "Knowing many, loving none/ Bearin' sorrow, havin' fun/ But back dwelling house he'll always run/ To sugariness Melissa"

She'south proverb that she doesn't need external validation of the human relationship―this human gives her all she needs to feel secure in their bail.
"Devil In a New Wearing apparel" - Kanye West, Rick Ross
Nearly romantic lyrics: "Put your easily to the constellations/ The way you look should be a sin, you my sensation"
Rationale: Kanye West is a pretty polarizing figure, only this is still one of my favorite albums of all time. It'south a bloodshot tribute to his infamous relationship with Bister Rose, and this vocal encapsulates the oft-sexy, always-complicated connection between 2 people who aren't good for each other, nevertheless tin't stay away from one some other.
"Dearest of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop)" - Erykah Badu, Common
Nigh romantic lyrics: "Only that is all behind me/ 'Cause now there is no other/ My love is his and his is mine/ A friend became the/ Love of my life"
Rationale: Conventional advice tells us to fall in beloved with someone who can be our friend, likewise. This song is about two lifelong all-time friends who find their fashion back to each other after fourth dimension spent apart. With her famously beguiling vocalisation, Erykah Badu captures the joy of being truly known by ane'southward partner.
"A Lord's day Kind of Love" - Etta James
Most romantic lyrics: "I want a Sunday kind of love/ A love to last past Sabbatum night/ I want to know information technology's more than love at kickoff sight"
Rationale: Nosotros've all been at this point earlier. If Etta James were to accept written this song today, she would accept been explaining that she was sick of one-dark-stands and Tinder/Bumble/Hinge dates that go nowhere. She'd be saying she was tired of sweaty strangers in confined shouting into her ear, over deafening music, asking if she wants to take a shot.
Instead, she'd desire something substantial. Someone to relax and binge Schitt's Creek reruns with on the weekends.
May we all find that Dominicus kind dear.

"She Will Be Loved" - Maroon 5
Almost romantic lyrics:"I don't mind spendin' everyday / Out on your corner in the pourin' rain"
Rationale:I remember listening to this song in middle schoolhouse, wishing that the boy I had a crush on would dear me enough to stand up outside my window in the rain. In hindsight, that would have been awkward and inconvenient to explain to my female parent, and these days I would probably find such behavior creepy (when I'm in my pajamas in my apartment, peacefully eating Takis and watching The Sopranos, the last thing I need is a man standing outside, watching me from the street like something out of The Exorcist), but the sentiment of this vocal all the same stands.
"Considering the Dark" - Patti Smith

"Stay" - Rihanna, Mikky Ekko
Almost romantic lyrics: "Not really certain how to experience about it/ Somethin' in the way you lot move/ Makes me feel like I tin't live without you"
Rationale: Dearest isn't a formula. At that place's no real logic to why we fall in love with some people just not others, and Rihanna hits the nail on the head when she says it's simply "something in the way [he] move[south]." Information technology'south reminiscent of The Beatles' song "Something." Speaking of which...
"Something" - The Beatles
About romantic lyrics: "Something in the fashion she moves / Attracts me like no other lover / Something in the manner she woos me / I don't want to leave her now"

"Androgynous" - The Replacements
About romantic lyrics: "And they love each other and so/ Androgynous/ Closer than nosotros know, beloved each other so/ Androgynous"
Rationale: This song is about two not-binary people falling in dearest, which is pretty absurd for a song from 1984. Our chief characters, archetypically named Dick and Jane, love each other regardless of gender. The Replacements brand a compelling argument about why traditional gender roles and clothing should make no difference if you're truly in dearest with someone.
"I'll Exist Seeing You" - Billie Vacation
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "I'll observe you in the morning sunday/ In every lovely summertime'south twenty-four hours/ In everything that'due south right and gay/ I'll always think of you"

Most romantic lyrics: "You lot've got to motility it slowly/ Have it in my body like it'southward holy/ I've been waiting for you for the whole week/ I've been praying for you lot, you're my Sunday candy"

"Come As You Are" - Nirvana
Nearly romantic lyrics: "Come as you are/ As you were/ As I want you to exist"

"Please, Please, Please" - James Chocolate-brown
Almost romantic lyrics: "Baby please, baby please, please me/ Babe please, babe please don't go/ Don't become, I said infant, don't infant/ I love you so"
Rationale: This song is about entirely comprised of James Brown repeating "please," and, supposedly, he got a lot of flack from his producers about that earlier its release. But, similar the Aye Yeah Yeahs' "Maps," this track's magic lies in the passion with which it'due south delivered–and James Brownish is nothing if not passionate.
"I Will Always Love You lot" - Dolly Parton
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "And I hope life will treat you kind/ And I hope that yous have all/ That you always dreamed of/ Oh, I do wish you joy/ And I wish you happiness/ But higher up all this/ I wish you dear"
Rationale: Without a uncertainty, you're familiar with Whitney Houston'south rendition of "I Will Always Love You," simply I love Dolly Parton's soft-spoken, country version as well. Where Houston belts, Parton croons, making this a groovy alternative for when you want to hear this song on a quiet evening in.
"Songbird" - Fleetwood Mac
Most romantic lyrics: "And I wish you all the love in the world/ Simply well-nigh of all, I wish information technology from myself/ And the songbirds go on singing/ Similar they know the score"
Rationale: Fleetwood Mac'due south members were notorious for hooking upwardly within their ranks, and Christine McVie (author and primary vocalist on this song) was no exception. This is a unique love vocal, considering information technology does unconditional love unlike whatsoever other: Information technology illustrates how it's entirely possible to love someone and want the all-time for them while accepting, albeit sadly, that yous might non be that all-time matter.

Information technology's an practise in startling honesty, and the result, like the whole album, is profound.
"Sea of Love" - True cat Ability
Most romantic lyrics: "Come up with me, my dearest/ To the body of water, the bounding main of beloved/ I wanna tell you lot/ How much I love you "
Rationale: Originally, the last song on this list was going to be T.I.'s "Whatever You Like" because I'm determined that it volition play at my hymeneals one 24-hour interval (I'm not kidding), but "Sea of Dearest" is too romantic to pass upwardly. With minimal instrumentation, Cat Ability delivers a brief merely heartfelt love alphabetic character whose genius lies in its profound simplicity. 10/10.
