♥♥♥ Love is the universal language...♥♥♥
...And what better way to express the feeling of love than with music. I am sure everyone who has ever been in love has their own special love songs that they hold close to their heart. For a lot of people, certain songs will reflect on memories shared and reflect on the feelings they have had for someone at certain times in their life whether it be at present or in the past. For those of you who have yet to experience this, trust me, your time will come! And then you will understand what I am talking about.
My list is compiled of my personal favorite love songs, the songs that remind me of different times of my life and capture the special moments that I have shared with the ones I have loved. (By the way, I found it impossible to narrow the list down to five...Sorry!)
♫♫ Everything I Do (I Do It For You)- Brandy ♫♫
This version did not reach the same heights as the original as Bryan Adams, in fact, I don't think a lot of people know that Brandy did a cover of this song! However, although the original was great, I think that this is even better! Brandy's vocals on this are superb and the slow R'n'B beats are more appealing than Bryan Adams' soft rock version in my opinion.
♫ Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart - search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more
Don't tell me it's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me it's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do - I do it for you.. ♫
The lyrics are phenomenal and this has to be one of the greatest love songs ever written. It is a song that will always remain a classic and one that will hold certain memories for individual reasons. I can listen to this song over and over again and not get bored of it.
♫♫ How Do I Live..?- LeAnn Rimes ♫♫
LeAnn Rimes shot to fame with this song and rightly so! It was beautifully sung and the lyrics are brilliant. It really brings out the mushy side in you! (Well, I speak for myself!)
♫ Without you,
There'd be no sun in my sky,
There would be no love in my life,
There'd be no world left for me.
And I,
Baby I don't know what I would do,
I'd be lost if I lost you,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything real in my life,
And tell me now,
How do I live without you? ♫
♫♫ Careless Whisper- George Michael/Wham♫♫
A sad love song that sounds extremely sexy with the use of a saxophone as the background music. This rightfully deserves to be one of the all-time ultimate love songs!
♫ I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byes
I'm never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it's easy to pretend
I know your not a fool ♫
The seductive sound of the saxophone really gets you in the mood for a night in with your loved one..Nudge, nudge, wink, wink!
♫♫ I Will Always Love You- Whitney Houston♫♫
Whitney held the number one spot in the UK for a massive 10 weeks with this song that was taken from The Bodyguard soundtrack, and whoever has heard this would instantly know why. Whitney’s powerful vocals are simply mind-blowing and the lyrics are beautifully written and the words express so much feeling and passion.
♫ If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go, but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way ♫
♫♫ One Sweet Day- Mariah Carey/Boyz II Men ♫♫
This song is about losing a loved one and really does bring out deep emotions if you listen to the words carefully and are moved by the strong vocals of gospel-sounding Boyz II Men and the sweet angelic voice of Mariah Carey. These two acts make a dynamic combination and can not fail to move you.
♫ Sorry I never told you
All I wanted to say
And now it's too late to hold you
'Cause you've flown away
So far away ♫
♫♫ Have You Ever?- Brandy ♫♫
I love this song mainly for the lyrics rather than the tune. The words just reach out to you and it is beautifully sung by the artist too.
♫ Have you ever loved somebody so much
It makes you cry
Have you ever needed something so bad
You can't sleep at night
Have you ever tried to find the words
But they don't come out right ♫
The words say it all, it is a song that I could just lay back and listen to and really make me appreciate the feeling of being in love.
♫♫ Toni Braxton- Unbreak My heart ♫♫
This is a wonderful slow, ballad that will reach out to anyone who has ever had their heart broken. It captures the mood perfectly and the words express the emotions effectively. Toni’s vocals are powerful in this slow RnB ballad.
♫ Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The night are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me ♫
♫♫ Evergreen- Will Young ♫♫
This is one of the most recent favorites of mine and all credit goes to Will Young for bringing justice to this song! This was a cover version by Westlife but I feel that Will’s version was far better because of his vocals and style.
♫ I'm gonna take this moment
and make it last forever
I'm gonna give my heart away
and pray we'll stay together
'Cause you're the one good reason
You're the only girl that I need
'Cause you're more beautiful than I have ever seen
I'm gonna take this night
and make it Evergreen ♫
It is a song that can be enjoyed time and time again, and one that makes you want to reach out and hold the hand of your loved one…
Thanks for reading this! I would love to know what you think of my choices and whether any of you share the same musical tastes as me!
By the way, I got a little help with the song lyrics by using the Lyrics A-Z Universe. The url for this is https://azlyrics.com/
