How Well Do You Know 50s Music
Moving picture this: You've orchestrated the perfect at-home appointment for your pregnant other, featuring candles, wine, and a lovingly dwelling house-cooked (or lovingly ordered via app) dinner. But just equally your person texts you that they're on their way, you realize that you have no idea what sort of music to play to retain the romantic ambience. After all, y'all can't have your early 2000s guilty pleasance songs come up upward on shuffle while you lot're trying to stare lovingly into your partner's optics (nothing ruins the mood similar the distinctive "youuuuuu" at the kickoff of "Soulja Boy." And yes, that instance is based on a truthful story).
Anyway, I've got y'all covered with my listing of the about beautiful, hopeful, and achingly romantic songs always written (in my humble opinion). You'll have your shell/partner/Bumble date swooning.
"ROS" - Mac Miller
Nigh romantic lyrics: "I'1000 in your centre, I'thou in your dream/ So fuck the globe it'southward you lot and me"
Rationale: When the outside world becomes cruel, many couples turn inward and develop that us-against-the-earth mindset. In "ROS," Mac Miller captures what it's like to feel close to someone, spending much of this song describing the little things he loves well-nigh his partner, like her "stained glass" eyes, butterscotch-scented pare, and kiwi-flavored lips. The lyrics are intimate in every way, and Mac delivers them with his characteristic rawness.
"These Artillery of Mine" - Otis Redding
Most romantic lyrics: "These arms of mine, they are lonely/ Lonely and feeling blue/ These artillery of mine, they are yearning/ Yearning from wanting you"
Rationale: This song hits me right in the chest. Information technology'southward impossible not to feel your arms and chest aching like Reddings' when he sings nearly burning to agree his lover. The music crescendos effectually his smoothen voice as he begs, "And if you would allow them concord y'all/ Oh, how grateful I would exist." It's such a sweet, earnest plea for love, and its focus on physicality is pretty sexy, also.
"Ex Factor" - Lauryn Hill
Most romantic lyrics: "Run across, no one loves yous more than than me/ and no i e'er will"
Rationale: No one knows how to obliterate me emotionally quite similar Lauryn Hill does. In "Ex Factor" (and on this whole album, let'south be real), she's vulnerable, baring all her devotion to her boyfriend. We recognize straightaway that her relationship is toxic, simply Hill's honesty is and then beautiful that we humble listeners have no choice but to sit, transfixed, and listen.
"Skinny Love" - Bon Iver
Most romantic lyrics: "Told my love to wreck information technology all/ Cut out all the ropes and let me fall"
Rationale: When this song came out in 2007, I was in middle school. I could not stop singing it as I traipsed through my business firm, near-tears every bit I crooned about "the sink of claret and crushed veneer," equally though my twelve years on globe had been rife with tragic dearest affairs.
Nevertheless, this song notwithstanding holds up. Bon Iver is a master at depicting what information technology'southward similar to fully surrender yourself to someone while enlightened that they may hurt y'all in the finish. I all the same sing this vocal while I lounge effectually my lilliputian studio flat, drawing on real-life experiences this time, though I assure y'all that none of them involved claret-filled sinks or crushed veneers.
"Leather and Lace" - Stevie Nicks & Don Henley
Most romantic lyrics: "Lovers forever, face to face up/ My city, your mountains/ Stay with me, stay/ I need you lot to love me/ I need you today/ Requite 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 so performed it with Don Henley (of The Eagles) while they were dating. This duet is beautiful in and of itself, but their chemistry and passion for each other makes it all the more impactful. An ex played this for me once, unprompted, and I think thinking, My God, dude. Why would yous practise this to me?
Wrecked.
The Way You Look Tonight" - Frank Sinatra
Near romantic lyrics: "Lovely, never, never change/ keep that breathless charm/ won't you lot please adjust information technology?/ 'Crusade I love you/ Just the way you lot expect this evening"
Rationale: Ah, yes. The song that plays at every wedding on earth. Pop songs are popular for a reason, though, and this one endures considering of the accepting, unconditional sort of love that it depicts. In addition to Sinatra's version, I'yard besides partial to Fred Astaire'southward rendition in the 1936 film Swing Time and the sweet all the same tongue-in-cheek visuals go along with it.
"Everlasting Light" - The Black Keys
Most romantic lyrics: "Let me be your everlasting light/ Your train going abroad from pain/ Love is the coal that makes this train roll/ Let me be your everlasting calorie-free"
Rationale: If you read the lyrics without the music, the whole song sounds kind of like a late nineteenth century poem. The love in this vocal is so pure and hopeful, and you'll definitely gain cool-points by playing The Black Keys on a get-go appointment.
"To Know Him Is To Dear Him" - Amy Winehouse
Most romantic lyrics: "To know, know, know him/ Is to beloved, honey, love him/ Simply to see that smile/ Makes my life worthwhile"
Rationale: No one does unbridled love similar Amy Winehouse. Her soulful vocalisation takes center stage in this Phil Spector cover, and if you lot're not already in honey, information technology volition make you desire to exist.
"Like Existent People Do" - Hozier
Virtually romantic lyrics: "I will non ask you where you came from/ I volition not enquire you, neither should you/ Honey, just put your sweetness lips on my lips/ We should just kiss like real people do"
Rationale: Hither, Hozier is trying to convince his love interest to forget that they both have pasts (who doesn't?) and to but love him. At that place'southward a sense that both people in the song consider themselves odd in some style (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 dearest and be loved back.
"Tin't Have My Eyes Off Yous" - Franki Valli & The 4 Seasons
Most romantic lyrics: "You're just too expert to be true/ Can't accept my eyes off of you/ You'd exist like sky to touch/ I wanna hold you and then much"
Rationale: To quote every Boomer from my home country of New Jersey: They merely don't make 'em like this anymore. And it'south true―this vocal manages to remainder emotional and sexual yearning without being crude.
And just... the gratitude Valli feels when he sings about loving his girl and then much that he thanks God he's alive. My Lord. They actually just do not brand 'em quite like this anymore.
"Forrest Gump" - Frank Sea
Most romantic lyrics: "My fingertips and my lips/ They burn from the cigarettes/ Forrest Gump, you run my mind, boy/ Running on my mind, male child"
Rationale: This is Frank Ocean's most criminally underrated song and I will fight anyone who has anything negative to say about it. In fact, I once fabricated a very loud, spirited defence of this song when I was in loftier school, right after Ocean's ill-received performance of it at the 2013 Grammys.
The song is told from the perspective of Jenny in the 1994 film Forrest Gump. It'due south about a cleaved, tired person coming back to their pure, enduring dear later a great deal of fourth dimension has passed. It's specially meaningful, in my opinion, because Ocean penned the song in the wake of his very public coming-out.
"Accept Me The Fashion I Am" - Ingrid Michaelson
Most romantic lyrics: "'Crusade I dear you lot more than I could always promise/ And you accept me the way 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 one was her most popular. Michaelson rejoices in having institute 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 hair starts falling out. It's a hope to love someone forever.
"I'm Non Expressionless" - P!nk
Most romantic lyrics: "Right across the cigarette and the devilish smile/You're my fissure of sunlight/ Yous tin do the math a thousand ways/ But you can't erase the facts/ That others come and others go/ Just you ever come back"
Rationale: This is my favorite era of P!nk'south music. In "I'm Not Dead," she writes a frank, unapologetic love vocal about being a flawed human deeply in honey with some other flawed human. Waxing poetic well-nigh her and her young man'due south (her future married man, Cary Hart, by the fashion) tattoos and alluding to her ain mental illness, P!nk eschews all tired clichés nigh love in favor of something far more authentic and affecting.
"Hannah Hunt" - Vampire Weekend
Almost romantic lyrics: "A man of faith said hidden optics could see what I was thinkin'/ I just smiled and told him/ That was just true of Hannah"
Rationale: Oh, Ezra Koenig, how you wound me with your beautiful words! In this song, our narrator seems to be moving around the U.S. with his dear Hannah until she grows homesick for the east coast. Having lived in New England for effectually seven years, I'm partial to this song for its "freezing beaches" references, but it'southward besides a gentle tribute to the way fourth dimension glides abroad when you're with someone yous love.
"A Song For You" - Donny Hathaway
Most romantic lyrics: "I love you in a identify/ Where there'due south no space or time/ I dearest you for my life/ You're a friend of mine/ And when my life is over/ Recall when we were together"
Rationale: At that place accept been many versions of this song, but this one'due south 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 likewise busy performing around the globe.
"Maps" - Aye Yeah Yeahs
Most romantic lyrics: "Don't devious/ My kind's your kind/ I'll stay the same."
Rationale: Yes, this vocal is 90 percent just Karen O singing "Look, they don't love yous like I dearest yous," but it'due south so powerful! If you say something the right way, and the accompanying music is expert enough, there's no need to embellish much more. Proof: Beyoncé clearly nods to this song in her 2016 unmarried "Hold Up." "Maps" endures, over a decade subsequently, across genres.
"If I Ain't Got You" - Alicia Keys
Most romantic lyrics: "Some people desire diamond rings/ Some just desire everything/ Just everything means nothing/ If I ain't got you"
Rationale: This song is all the more touching when y'all retrieve that she wrote it just as she was showtime to get famous. She promises that her renown―the fruit of all her labor―forth with promises of riches, jewelry, or endless life would all hateful nothing if she didn't have her man.
"Pino Tree Lines" - Told Slant
Most romantic lines: "I am the girl my parents made/ Why don't yous dear me anyway/ 'Cause I beloved the way you accept up infinite"
Rationale: Devastating genius. Atomic number 82 vocalizer Felix Walworth delivers this song then earnestly that his vocalism literally cracks during that concluding line. I've never heard a simpler or more than startlingly accurate depiction of adoration than loving the fashion someone takes upward space.
"Inevitable" - Shakira
Almost romantic lyrics: "To be even more honest/ No ane thinks almost you/ The way I do" (Translated from Spanish)
Rationale: Shakira spends nearly of this vocal laying out all her imperfections―that she doesn't know how to make java, that she doesn't understand soccer, that she oversleeps, etc.―and and so gain to ask her man to love her anyway.
"I Found You lot" - Alabama Shakes
Virtually romantic lyrics: "I remember all them solitary days/ I traveled out on my own/ And so you lot brought me everything/ Yous fabricated my house a home"
Rationale: This is a celebration of finally finding your person. Then who better to mind to it with than your person? Romantic, indeed.
"Rag Doll" - Franki Valli & The Four Seasons
Most romantic lines: "I'd change her sad rags/ Into glad rags if I could/ My folks won't let me/ 'Cause they say that she's no good."
Rationale: Some other 4 Seasons song, yes. I'm from Jersey. Sue me.
Franki Valli declares his unconditional love for a girl much poorer than he is, fantasizing virtually replacing her tattered clothes with lace and finery. In spite of her poverty, he ends the song by crying, "I love you just the mode 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 lot" - Led Zeppelin
Near romantic lyrics: "Merely babe, since I've been loving y'all, yeah/ I'm about to lose my worried listen/ Oh, yeah"
Rationale: Human, these lyrics look then underwhelming when written downwardly sans musical accompaniment. It'southward tragic.
What makes this vocal so romantic, to me, is the organ and bass work by John Paul Jones pair with Robert Plant's searing vocals. It's a power blues song that hits you right in the gut. If desperate desire were a sound, this would be it.
"You 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 guild I went to with my homies/ Babe, don't worry, you know that you got me"
Rationale: I cried when I saw this live. Erykah reassures her boyfriend during the chorus that she'll always exist loyal to him, while Blackness Thought (lead MC of The Roots) uses his verses to tell the story of a lifelong romance. It's the best dearest song in hip hop, easily down.
"(Y'all Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman - Aretha Franklin
Most romantic lyrics: "When my soul was in the lost and plant/ You lot came along to claim it/ I didn't know merely what was wrong with me/ 'Til your kiss helped me name it"
Rationale: Nosotros should heal ourselves rather than look around for someone to heal us, but that doesn't mean that honey can't exist a healing experience. Information technology's really romantic to thank someone for making you feel good, and that'south precisely what this song (written by the flawless Carole Rex) is near.
"Jade" - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Most romantic lyrics: "We can't help only follow, she'south Buddha, just watch her/ She moves similar an former gypsy woman but swears she's a girl/ And all that she asks we'll allow her/ For Jade is the girl of the hour"
Rationale: Alex Ebert wrote this song for Jade Castrinos when they were both yet dating and notwithstanding the frontpeople of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. The song is a repose dearest letter to Castrinos―you could imagine Ebert singing information technology to her at night by the bivouac while the residue of the band is asleep (that'southward this band'south vibe, actually). Information technology'south a shame that we no longer get to lookout man the sweet human relationship between these talented musicians, only at least we'll always accept this hippie love vocal.
"Wild Horses" - The Rolling Stones
Most romantic lyrics: "Graceless lady/ You know who I am/ You know I can't let you/ Slide through my hands/ Wild horses/ Couldn't elevate me away"
Rationale: One of the wildest bands of the '60s and '70s also happened to write one of the nigh poignant songs about love and devotion. This is nigh a long, deep intimacy betwixt ii people, and of being physically unable to resist the person you adore.
"Jim Bogart" - The Front Bottoms
Most romantic lyrics: "I would slumber better on your floor/ Than I would e'er in my bed/ And if your carpet makes my face itch/ It'd still be heaven in my head"
Rationale: "Jim Bogart" opens with the above lyrics, sung with lead vocalizer Brian Sella'south signature raw vocals. He abandons all pride in his honey for this girl, promising to exercise his guitar every night, to sleep on her floor without complaint, and to to ignore his doctor's communication―all to win her love. We shouldn't have to debase ourselves for love (*rolls eyes* yes, yeah yep), but this is art. And if we're being honest, this sentiment is relatable for anyone who's prayed for their dearest to be reciprocated.
"Loving You lot" - Elvis Presley
Nearly romantic lyrics: "If I'one thousand seen with someone new/ Don't be blue, don't you be blue/ I'll be faithful, I'll be true/ Always truthful, true to you lot"
Rationale: Elvis tells his love not to get jealous or to believe the hype around him and other women, reassuring her that she's the 1 for him. Although multiple sources take claimed that Elvis did, indeed, cheat on his wife, Priscilla, this remains his sweetest love song.
"Melissa" - The Allman Brothers Band
Most romantic lyrics: "Knowing many, loving none/ Bearin' sorrow, havin' fun/ Merely back dwelling he'll always run/ To sweet Melissa"
Rationale: Here, the Allman Brothers sing about a traveling musician who can't get over his sweetheart no matter how many other women he meets. She always ends up resurfacing in his listen, and eventually, he always returns to her.
"My Old Man" - Joni Mitchell
Almost romantic lyrics: "He's my sunshine in the morning/ He'south my fireworks at the end of the day/ He'southward the warmest chord I ever caput/ Play that warm chord, play and stay, baby"
Rationale: Mitchell'due south soaring mezzo-soprano meanders through a portrait of her relationship in this vocal, insisting throughout that, "We don't need no piece of newspaper from the city hall." She's maxim that she doesn't need external validation of the relationship―this man gives her all she needs to feel secure in their bond.
"Devil In a New Wearing apparel" - Kanye W, Rick Ross
Most romantic lyrics: "Put your hands to the constellations/ The way you look should be a sin, y'all my sensation"
Rationale: Kanye West is a pretty polarizing effigy, just this is still one of my favorite albums of all fourth dimension. It's a bittersweet tribute to his infamous human relationship with Bister Rose, and this song encapsulates the frequently-sexy, ever-complicated connection between 2 people who aren't practiced for each other, yet can't stay away from one another.
"Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop)" - Erykah Badu, Common
Most romantic lyrics: "But that is all behind me/ 'Cause now there is no other/ My dearest is his and his is mine/ A friend became the/ Beloved of my life"
Rationale: Conventional advice tells us to fall in love with someone who tin can be our friend, too. This song is about two lifelong best friends who notice their style back to each other after fourth dimension spent apart. With her famously beguiling voice, Erykah Badu captures the joy of beingness truly known by one's partner.
"A Lord's day Kind of Dear" - Etta James
About romantic lyrics: "I desire a Sunday kind of dear/ A love to terminal past Saturday night/ I want to know it'south more than dearest at first sight"
Rationale: We've all been at this point earlier. If Etta James were to have written this song today, she would have been explaining that she was sick of one-night-stands and Tinder/Bumble/Hinge dates that go nowhere. She'd exist saying she was tired of sweaty strangers in bars shouting into her ear, over deafening music, request if she wants to take a shot.
Instead, she'd want something substantial. Someone to relax and binge Schitt'south Creek reruns with on the weekends.
May we all find that Sun kind love.

Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "Infant, I'm yours/ And I'll be yours until the stars autumn from the sky/ Yours until the rivers all run dry/ In other words, until I die"
Rationale: This song sounds like information technology was written in the '50s or '60s. In some ways, it'southward your run-of-the-mill boring song, but there's something mannerly most the Chill Monkeys being the ones to perform this retro pledge of devotion.
"She Will Be Loved" - Maroon v
Most romantic lyrics:"I don't mind spendin' everyday / Out on your corner in the pourin' rain"
Rationale:I recall listening to this vocal in middle school, wishing that the boy I had a vanquish on would love me enough to stand outside my window in the rain. In retrospect, that would accept been awkward and inconvenient to explain to my mother, 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 terminal affair I need is a human standing outside, watching me from the street like something out of The Exorcist), but the sentiment of this song nevertheless stands.
"Because the Night" - Patti Smith
Most romantic lyrics: "Come on, now, try and understand/ The way I feel when I'grand in your hands/ Take my hand, come undercover/ They can't hurt you now"
Rationale: In this song, which was originally written past lyrical legend Bruce Springsteen, Smith promises her lover that he's condom with her.

"La Vie En Rose" - Edith Piaf
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "When he holds me in his artillery/ And he speaks to me softly/ I see the globe through rose-colored glasses" (Translated from French)

Nearly romantic lyrics: "Only stay for one more night/ Ane 24-hour interval you lot're gonna be my wife/ You'll never have to worry again/ I'm gonna exist your man"

Most romantic lyrics: "Wouldn't it be prissy if we were older?/ Then we wouldn't take to look so long"

"Stay" - Rihanna, Mikky Ekko
Most romantic lyrics: "Not really sure how to feel about information technology/ Somethin' in the style you move/ Makes me feel similar I can't live without you"
Rationale: Love isn't a formula. There'southward no real logic to why nosotros fall in love with some people but not others, and Rihanna hits the smash on the caput when she says it's but "something in the way [he] movement[south]." It's reminiscent of The Beatles' song "Something." Speaking of which...
"Something" - The Beatles
Most romantic lyrics: "Something in the fashion she moves / Attracts me similar no other lover / Something in the way she woos me / I don't want to leave her now"
Rationale:This song is a boring, dreamy ode on an otherwise bluesy album. George Harrison was the Beatle who penned information technology, writing that he wasn't sure what exactly triggered his beloved or whether information technology would abound. All he knew was that the love was at that place, and that that should be enough.

"Androgynous" - The Replacements
Most romantic lyrics: "And they love each other then/ Androgynous/ Closer than we know, dear each other so/ Androgynous"
Rationale: This vocal is almost 2 not-binary people falling in love, which is pretty cool for a song from 1984. Our main 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 love with someone.
"I'll Exist Seeing You lot" - Billie Holiday
Most romantic lyrics: "I'll find you in the morning time sun/ In every lovely summertime's mean solar day/ In everything that's correct and gay/ I'll always remember of you"
Rationale: You know when you're freshly in love (or heartbroken), and everything reminds you of that person? That'due south what this song is almost. Everything around Holiday―the natural globe, a park, a buffet, a carousel―is a fond reminder of her beloved.
"Sunday Candy" - Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment
Most romantic lyrics: "You've got to move it slowly/ Have information technology in my body like it's holy/ I've been waiting for you for the whole calendar week/ I've been praying for you, yous're my Sunday processed"
Rationale: The Social Experiment is the hip hop collective that boasts members such as Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa (the old of which is featured heavily on this song). Jamila Woods performs the chorus to this song and then sweetly that it's easy to forget the sexual implications, and she and Chance tell the story of a couple that spends a week at a fourth dimension missing each other, absorbed in thoughts of i another until they're finally reunited.
"Come up As You Are" - Nirvana
Most romantic lyrics: "Come as y'all are/ As you were/ As I desire y'all to be"
Rationale: In that location are many interpretations of what this song means, ranging from mental wellness to friendship to commentary on inauthenticity. But, to me, "Come up Equally You Are" works every bit the ultimate grunge beloved song; every bit a promise to love and appreciate someone just the manner they are.
"Please, Please, Please" - James Brown
About romantic lyrics: "Baby please, baby delight, please me/ Baby please, baby please don't go/ Don't get, I said baby, don't baby/ I love you then"
Rationale: This song is almost entirely comprised of James Brown repeating "please," and, supposedly, he got a lot of flack from his producers about that before its release. Merely, like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps," this runway's magic lies in the passion with which it'southward delivered–and James Brown is zippo if non passionate.
"I Will Ever Love You" - Dolly Parton
Most romantic lyrics: "And I hope life volition treat you kind/ And I hope that you have all/ That you e'er dreamed of/ Oh, I practice wish y'all joy/ And I wish y'all happiness/ But in a higher place all this/ I wish you love"
Rationale: Without a doubtfulness, you're familiar with Whitney Houston's rendition of "I Will Ever Dear Y'all," just I beloved Dolly Parton'south soft-spoken, country version also. Where Houston belts, Parton croons, making this a great alternative for when you want to hear this song on a repose evening in.
"Songbird" - Fleetwood Mac
Virtually romantic lyrics: "And I wish you all the love in the world/ But most of all, I wish it from myself/ And the songbirds proceed singing/ Like they know the score"
Rationale: Fleetwood Mac's members were notorious for hooking up within their ranks, and Christine McVie (writer and principal vocalist on this song) was no exception. This is a unique love vocal, because it does unconditional honey unlike whatsoever other: It illustrates how information technology'southward entirely possible to honey someone and want the best for them while accepting, albeit sadly, that you might non be that best thing.
"Commencement Day of My Life" - Vivid Eyes
Most romantic lyrics: "But I realized I need you/ And I wondered if I could come home"
Rationale: This Vivid Optics rails makes me wish I was ameliorate at playing guitar. Frontman Conor Oberst makes a frank plea for his honey, telling her, "I'one thousand glad I didn't dice before I met yous," and asking for permission to approach. It'due south an exercise in startling honesty, and the consequence, like the whole album, is profound.
"Sea of Dear" - True cat Power
Most romantic lyrics: "Come up with me, my love/ To the bounding main, the body of water of honey/ I wanna tell you lot/ How much I love you lot "
Rationale: Originally, the last song on this listing was going to exist T.I.'south "Whatever Yous Like" because I'm determined that information technology volition play at my hymeneals one mean solar day (I'chiliad not kidding), but "Sea of Love" is likewise romantic to pass up. With minimal instrumentation, Cat Power delivers a brief merely heartfelt love letter whose genius lies in its profound simplicity. 10/10.
