Ahh songs and music I love them all with a passion, what would I do without them? I don't know. In this post we shall discuss love songs of all kinds, whether they're about falling in love, wanting to get married, going all the way, crushing on someone, being heart broken, unrequited love, all shall be discussed!
Let's get to it. These are just random ones that I enjoy and I randomly chose from a list of songs that I considered for this. They aren't the top fifteen or anything like that because I just wouldn't be able to choose.
I'll try to make the fifteen songs go in a somewhat chronological order. As in start with songs about having a crush, falling for them, things getting serious and ultimately heartbreak. Sound good ya?
1. Don't judge, but we'll be starting with One Thing by One Direction. It's catchy as hell, and you know what the lyrics are actually things that I've felt before and I can relate. The lyrics, "I've tried playing it cool, but when I'm looking at you, I can't ever be brave, cause you make my heart race....Get out, get out, get out of my head and fall into my arms instead, I don't, don't know what it is but I need that one thing and you've got that one thing." Who hasn't felt this way when they develop a crush, you just can't get them out of your mind. You wake up excited to go to school, you wake up with hopes and a smile. You dream about them at night. Your days get brighter when they look at you, and darker when they don't. This is a favorite song of mine because it perfectly describes how it feels to have a crush. And hell listening to it, just dance around and have fun. Enjoy the brighter days because it feels good.
2. You Belong With Me by Ms. T Swift. Everyone knows this song, and everyone knows the feeling. You've fallen for someone you can't have. Whether it's because they're your friend, or because they're taken.
You see them suffer through the horrible douche bags or hoes. And you hurt for them. And you love them, and you're there for them. But do they ever realize it? Nope. And you just want to slap them till they realize they belong with you. That or you know just bust out in a song and dance, telling them your feelings. It's a great song because who hasn't been friendzoned while their crush goes after someone that leaves them broken hearted. It's a cycle of pain and yet this song provides a tiny bit of hope that the one person will turn around and realize that you're the one for them. "If you could see that I'm the one who understands you, been here all along so why can't you see? You belong with me."
3. Happy by NeverShoutNever, "you make me happy, whether you know it or not, we should be happy, that's what I said from the start, I am so happy knowing you are the one that I want for the rest of my days. For the rest of my days, you're all of my days." Ok, this song is just amazing and catchy and adorable. I want a relationship to be like this. So easy and carefree, and you just happy. Often times we kind of push the idea that a relationship should be about finding happiness together, and this song just brings it back front and center, if I could get my voice to go high I would sing this song more often, but I can't. Curse this low voice of mine.
4. Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. You've gotten to that point. Stuff is getting real. You've realized you are loving each other, and you're each other's teenage dream. Stuff happens eh? "I let my walls come down, down. Before you met me, I was wreck but things were kinda heavy, you brought me to life, now every February you'll be my Valentine, Valentine, let's go all the way tonight, no regrets, just love." You're going all the way. Things are happening and emotions are intensifying. This song captures that perfectly. Ya know?
5. Marry You by Bruno Mars. Ok, you've gone to that step in your relationship where in the back of your mind you think of marriage. "It's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do. Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you...Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can gooooo, no one will knooooww. Oh come on girl." This song just creates that image of marrying someone you love, and it makes it seem just so carefree and easy. And by the end of this song I'm always itching to get married. Even if I don't have a job, or money, or a place to be married at or even a girlfriend. But who cares because this song makes me want to do it anyways!
6. The Last Song Ever by Secondhand Serenade. Things get emotional in your relationship. Things are intense. And hearts are laid on the table. A first real serious fight, you're both crying. And you want to make up though because you love each other. This song is great for contemplating life, and love. "I wish my life was this song cause songs they never die, I could write for years and years, never have to cry, I'd show you how I feel, without saying a word. I could wrap up both our hearts, I know it sounds absurd, and I saw the tears in your face, I shot you down, and I slammed the door but couldn't make a song. So please stay sweet my dear don't hate me now...I can't tell how this last song ends." If I'm feeling depressed, this song is known to unleash a tear or two, or more from me. But it's a good song to fall asleep to when you're crying.
7. More Than Words by Extreme. You've made up and are back together. "Saying I love you, is not the words I want to hear from you. It's not that I want you not to say but if you only knew. How easy it would be to show me how you feel. More than words, is all you have to do to make it real. Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me, cause I'd already know." The fight shook things up and you both want to prove to the other that you love each other with more than words. You want it to be real. And so you do. You're both happy again. This song is a great one to listen to and sing along to because you can put that emotion that you need to get out in that song.
8. A Thousand Years by Christina Perri, this song was written for Breaking Dawn, but that in no way should make anyone hate this song. This is one of the best and sweetest love songs I've ever heard. Emotions are abundant with this song. Whoever hates this song has no heart. The intro with the piano sends my heart racing for love. "Heart beats fast, colors and promises, how to be brave, how can I love when I'm afraid to fall, but watching you stand alone, all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow." I could quote this song forevermore. "I have died every day waiting for you. Darling don't be afraid I have loved you for a thousand years, I'll love you for a thousand more." This song is what love should be like, what we should all strive to find. Guys dedicate this song to the ladies. Ladies, listen to this song have your heart swell and dream that you'll find this.
9. California King Bed by Rihanna, this is my favorite song by her, just because it's not so much pop, and dance around play on the radio all the time. It's a slow song. And it's about being in love and drifting apart. Maybe it wasn't meant to be? This song certainly brings it up. "So how come when I reach out my fingers, it seems like more than distance between us in this California king bed, we're ten thousand miles apart. I've been California wishing on these stars for your heart on me." Once you drift apart, feelings change and then it's over. That fairy tale love story is gone. It's no longer there. And that's the end.
10. Am I Not Pretty Enough? by Kasey Chambers. This song gets to me all the time. My friend who was going through a heart break freshman year told me about this song and I could just imagine her crying to this song. And it broke my heart. It's a sad song. And whenever I listened to the song, I could easily replace the word pretty with good, and it made me think of my own heart breaks. So you're broken up and you're feeling depressed. "Am I not pretty enough? Is my heart too broken? Do I cry too much? Am I too outspoken? Don't I make you laugh? Should I try it harder? Why do you see right through me?" This song is depressing, and yet I still enjoy, maybe because it's a good song, or maybe because I'm a sadist who enjoys listening to heart wrenching songs. I choose the second one. Moving on this is a great song when you're having a pity party, and every one deserves those every once in a while. Cry and let it out.
11. Which brings us to the next stage. I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace. Notice the major shift? So you're done crying (for now). And now you're angry. It was all lies. It all was a big mess and you want to punch and scream. "Every feeling that I get, but I haven't missed you yet. Every roommate kept awake by every silent scream we make. All the feelings that I get, but I still don't miss you yet. Only when I stop to think about it...I hate everything about you. Why do I love you? I hate everything about you, why do I love you." So you hate them...but no matter how much you hate them. You still love them. A confusing and angry time period yes? So time passes...
12. Swing, Swing by The All American Rejects. Ahh this brings back memories. This song was my all time favorite when I was a freshman even if it was a break up song. Don't judge me. "Days swiftly come and go, I'm dreaming of her, she's seeing other guys, emotions they stir. The sun is gone, the nights are long and I am left while the tears fall, did you think that I would cry...on the phone? Do you know what it feels like being alone? I'll find someone new...Swing, swing from the tangles of my heart is crushed by a former love, can you help me find a way to carry on again?" So time has gone and you're still hurting but things are getting better, and you put up a strong face. And you have hope. Even if it still hurts.
13. The First Cut Is The Deepest by Sheryl Crow.You're a little scarred and that's okay. So someone new comes into your life. They flirt with you. They make you feel nice and you want nothing more than to devote yourself into these new feelings but it's not easy. It still hurts. "I would have given you all of my heart. But there's someone who's torn it apart and he's taken just all that I had. But if you wanna try to love again, baby I'll try to love again but I know the first cut is the deepest." This is an amazing song when you've been dealt that horrible broken heart. And if you're like me listening to a song that describes your feelings perfectly will help you get over it and move on. And then you realize something about love and the first cut that you received...
14. The Reason by Hoobastank. You don't want to cry anymore, you don't want to be angry and you don't want to hate. And then you realize...You realize that the person that broke your heart did you a favor and in the end you thank them. This song is amazing and is another great one to contemplate to, it changes perspectives. "I'm not a perfect person, there's many things I wish I didn't do, but I continue learning. I never meant to do those things to you. And so I have to say before I go, that I just want you to know. I found a reason for me. To change who I used to be. A reason to start over new. And the reason is you." This person hurt you, and you hurt them. And you've broken up. It's time to move on and you realize that now you are a stronger person. And you're thankful for everything you've been through. I know I am.
15. Painting Flowers by All Time Low. You've moved on, there will always be those memories. And a small part of you will always love them. But for now you're with someone else. And you're happy with the strangeness of life and the current place you're at is something you're content with. This will forever be one of my favorite songs ever and a favorite song done by All Time Low. "Strange maze, what is this place? I hear voices over my shoulder, nothing's making sense at all. Wonder why do we race when every day we're running in circles, such a funny way to fall. Try to open up my eyes, I'm hoping for a chance to make it alright, when I wake up the dream isn't done, I wanna see your face and know I made it home. If nothing is true what more can I do? I am still painting flowers for you."
You had a crush, you fell in love, you broke up, your heart was crushed, and you rose from those ashes. Stronger than ever. And you've learned and loved. And you're loving again and keep on painting flowers for that special someone.
