His Love Is Softer Than a Baby Song
Motion picture this: You've orchestrated the perfect at-dwelling date for your significant other, featuring candles, wine, and a lovingly home-cooked (or lovingly ordered via app) dinner. Only just as your person texts yous that they're on their fashion, you realize that you lot accept no idea what sort of music to play to retain the romantic ambience. After all, y'all can't have your early 2000s guilty pleasure songs come upwards on shuffle while you're trying to stare lovingly into your partner'southward eyes (nothing ruins the mood like the distinctive "youuuuuu" at the kickoff of "Soulja Boy." And yes, that case is based on a true story).
Anyway, I've got you lot covered with my list of the most beautiful, hopeful, and achingly romantic songs ever written (in my humble opinion). You lot'll take your shell/partner/Bumble engagement swooning.
"ROS" - Mac Miller
Most romantic lyrics: "I'chiliad in your eye, I'm in your dream/ So fuck the world information technology's you and me"
Rationale: When the exterior world becomes brutal, many couples plough inward and develop that u.s.-against-the-world mindset. In "ROS," Mac Miller captures what it'southward like to feel close to someone, spending much of this vocal describing the trivial things he loves nigh his partner, like her "stained glass" eyes, butterscotch-scented pare, and kiwi-flavored lips. The lyrics are intimate in every mode, and Mac delivers them with his characteristic rawness.
"These Arms of Mine" - Otis Redding
Nearly romantic lyrics: "These arms of mine, they are lonely/ Solitary and feeling blue/ These arms of mine, they are yearning/ Yearning from wanting you"
Rationale: This song hits me right in the chest. It'southward incommunicable not to experience your arms and chest aching like Reddings' when he sings well-nigh burning to hold his lover. The music crescendos around his smoothen vocalism as he begs, "And if you would let them concur y'all/ Oh, how grateful I would be." Information technology's such a sweet, earnest plea for love, and its focus on physicality is pretty sexy, too.
"Ex Cistron" - Lauryn Colina
Most romantic lyrics: "Encounter, no one loves yous more than me/ and no one ever will"
Rationale: No one knows how to obliterate me emotionally quite like Lauryn Hill does. In "Ex Gene" (and on this whole album, let's be real), she's vulnerable, baring all her devotion to her beau. We recognize straightaway that her human relationship is toxic, but Hill's honesty is and then cute that we humble listeners accept no selection merely to sit, transfixed, and listen.
"Skinny Beloved" - Bon Iver
Nearly romantic lyrics: "Told my love to wreck it all/ Cut out all the ropes and allow 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 house, nearly-tears equally I crooned near "the sink of claret and crushed veneer," as though my twelve years on earth had been rife with tragic beloved affairs.
However, this song nonetheless holds upward. Bon Iver is a primary at depicting what it'southward like to fully give up yourself to someone while enlightened that they may hurt you in the terminate. I still sing this vocal while I lounge around my little studio flat, cartoon on existent-life experiences this fourth dimension, though I assure you that none of them involved blood-filled sinks or crushed veneers.
"Leather and Lace" - Stevie Nicks & Don Henley
Most romantic lyrics: "Lovers forever, face to face/ My city, your mountains/ Stay with me, stay/ I need you to love me/ I demand you today/ Requite me to me your leather, accept from me my lace"
Rationale: This is Stevie Nicks' lyricism at its virtually 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 remember thinking, My God, dude. Why would you exercise this to me?
Wrecked.
The Way Y'all Expect Tonight" - Frank Sinatra
Most romantic lyrics: "Lovely, never, never change/ keep that breathless amuse/ won't y'all please arrange it?/ 'Crusade I love y'all/ Just the manner you look tonight"
Rationale: Ah, yep. The song that plays at every wedding on earth. Popular songs are popular for a reason, though, and this one endures because of the accepting, unconditional sort of honey that it depicts. In addition to Sinatra'southward version, I'm also partial to Fred Astaire's rendition in the 1936 film Swing Fourth dimension and the sweetness yet tongue-in-cheek visuals go along with it.
"Everlasting Light" - The Black Keys
Most romantic lyrics: "Permit me be your everlasting lite/ Your train going away from pain/ Dearest is the coal that makes this railroad train roll/ Let me be your everlasting light"
Rationale: If you read the lyrics without the music, the whole song sounds kind of similar a late nineteenth century poem. The love in this song is so pure and hopeful, and you'll definitely proceeds cool-points by playing The Blackness Keys on a first appointment.
"To Know Him Is To Love Him" - Amy Winehouse
Most romantic lyrics: "To know, know, know him/ Is to dear, dear, honey him/ Simply to see that smile/ Makes my life worthwhile"
Rationale: No one does unbridled love like Amy Winehouse. Her soulful vocalisation takes centre stage in this Phil Spector cover, and if you're not already in love, information technology will brand you want to be.
"Like Real People Exercise" - Hozier
Most romantic lyrics: "I volition not ask you lot where you came from/ I will not enquire you, neither should y'all/ Honey, just put your sugariness lips on my lips/ Nosotros should but kiss similar real people do"
Rationale: Hither, Hozier is trying to convince his dearest involvement to forget that they both have pasts (who doesn't?) and to merely dear him. In that location's a sense that both people in the song consider themselves odd in some way (again, who doesn't?), and that they've been searching for partners like each other for ages. "Similar Real People Do" reminds us of how miraculous it feels to love and exist loved back.
"Can't Take My Eyes Off Y'all" - Franki Valli & The Four Seasons
Most romantic lyrics: "You're only as well good to be truthful/ Can't have my optics off of y'all/ You'd be like heaven to touch/ I wanna agree yous and then much"
Rationale: To quote every Boomer from my home state of New Jersey: They just don't brand 'em like this anymore. And it'due south truthful―this song manages to remainder emotional and sexual yearning without existence rough.
And just... the gratitude Valli feels when he sings nearly loving his daughter then much that he thanks God he'due south alive. My Lord. They really just practise non make 'em quite like this anymore.
"Forrest Gump" - Frank Bounding main
Most romantic lyrics: "My fingertips and my lips/ They burn from the cigarettes/ Forrest Gump, you lot run my mind, boy/ Running on my heed, boy"
Rationale: This is Frank Ocean'due south most criminally underrated song and I will fight anyone who has anything negative to say well-nigh it. In fact, I one time made a very loud, spirited defense of this song when I was in high school, correct after Body of water's ill-received operation of it at the 2013 Grammys.
The song is told from the perspective of Jenny in the 1994 film Forrest Gump. It's about a broken, tired person coming back to their pure, indelible honey after a peachy bargain of time has passed. It's peculiarly meaningful, in my stance, because Ocean penned the song in the wake of his very public coming-out.
"Accept Me The Mode I Am" - Ingrid Michaelson
Most romantic lyrics: "'Cause I honey you more than than I could e'er hope/ And you lot accept me the manner 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 pop. Michaelson rejoices in having establish a partner who loves her, flaws and all, and she responds in kind, promising to repair what her partner breaks and buy him Rogaine when his hair starts falling out. It's a hope 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/ Y'all can practice the math a thousand ways/ But you can't erase the facts/ That others come and others go/ But you lot always come back"
Rationale: This is my favorite era of P!nk'southward music. In "I'm Not Dead," she writes a frank, unapologetic love song about being a flawed human being securely in love with another flawed human. Waxing poetic about her and her boyfriend's (her future husband, Cary Hart, by the way) tattoos and alluding to her ain mental illness, P!nk eschews all tired clichés about dearest in favor of something far more authentic and affecting.
"Hannah Hunt" - Vampire Weekend
Most romantic lyrics: "A man of faith said hidden eyes could encounter what I was thinkin'/ I just smiled and told him/ That was simply true of Hannah"
Rationale: Oh, Ezra Koenig, how y'all wound me with your beautiful words! In this song, our narrator seems to be moving around the U.S. with his beloved Hannah until she grows homesick for the due east declension. Having lived in New England for around vii years, I'm partial to this song for its "freezing beaches" references, but it's besides a gentle tribute to the way time glides abroad when you're with someone you love.
"A Song For You lot" - Donny Hathaway
Most romantic lyrics: "I love you in a place/ Where in that location's no space or time/ I honey y'all for my life/ You lot're a friend of mine/ And when my life is over/ Remember when we were together"
Rationale: There have been many versions of this vocal, but this one's my favorite. It was besides Amy Winehouse'south favorite. Donny Hathaway sings this with such feeling that i can't help merely experience he's reciting a memoir when he sings his apology to a woman he neglected to settle down with considering he was too busy performing around the world.
"Maps" - Yeah Yes Yeahs
Most romantic lyrics: "Don't stray/ My kind's your kind/ I'll stay the same."
Rationale: Aye, this vocal is 90 percent but Karen O singing "Await, they don't honey you like I love you," but it's so powerful! If y'all say something the right way, and the accompanying music is good enough, in that location's no need to embellish much more. Proof: Beyoncé clearly nods to this vocal in her 2016 single "Concur Up." "Maps" endures, over a decade later, across genres.
"If I Ain't Got You" - Alicia Keys
Most romantic lyrics: "Some people want diamond rings/ Some just desire everything/ But everything ways nothing/ If I ain't got you"
Rationale: This song is all the more than touching when y'all call up that she wrote it simply equally she was offset 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 nothing if she didn't have her man.
"Pine Tree Lines" - Told Slant
Almost romantic lines: "I am the girl my parents made/ Why don't you love me anyway/ 'Crusade I love the way you take up infinite"
Rationale: Devastating genius. Lead singer Felix Walworth delivers this song and then earnestly that his voice literally cracks during that terminal line. I've never heard a simpler or more startlingly accurate depiction of adoration than loving the way someone takes upwardly infinite.
"Inevitable" - Shakira
Most romantic lyrics: "To be even more honest/ No one thinks about you/ The way I do" (Translated from Spanish)
Rationale: Shakira spends most of this song laying out all her imperfections―that she doesn't know how to make coffee, that she doesn't empathise soccer, that she oversleeps, etc.―and then proceeds to inquire her man to honey her anyway.
"I Establish You" - Alabama Shakes
Most romantic lyrics: "I recall all them lonely days/ I traveled out on my own/ And so you brought me everything/ Yous made my house a home"
Rationale: This is a commemoration of finally finding your person. So who amend to listen to it with than your person? Romantic, indeed.
"Rag Doll" - Franki Valli & The 4 Seasons
Most romantic lines: "I'd alter her sorry rags/ Into glad rags if I could/ My folks won't let me/ 'Cause they say that she'south no skillful."
Rationale: Another Four Seasons vocal, yeah. I'1000 from Jersey. Sue me.
Franki Valli declares his unconditional dearest for a girl much poorer than he is, fantasizing virtually replacing her tattered dress with lace and finery. In spite of her poverty, he ends the vocal by crying, "I love you simply the manner you lot are."
He wants to give everything to someone who can offer him zippo material. All he wants is her.
"Since I've Been Loving You" - Led Zeppelin
Most romantic lyrics: "But baby, since I've been loving you lot, yep/ I'm near to lose my worried listen/ Oh, yeah"
Rationale: Human being, these lyrics wait so underwhelming when written downwards sans musical accompaniment. Information technology'south tragic.
What makes this song so romantic, to me, is the organ and bass piece of work by John Paul Jones pair with Robert Institute'southward searing vocals. It's a power blues song that hits you right in the gut. If desperate want were a audio, this would be information technology.
"You lot 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 (pb MC of The Roots) uses his verses to tell the story of a lifelong romance. It'south the best love song in hip hop, easily downwardly.
"(Y'all Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman - Aretha Franklin
Most romantic lyrics: "When my soul was in the lost and plant/ You came along to claim it/ I didn't know just what was wrong with me/ 'Til your buss helped me name it"
Rationale: Nosotros should heal ourselves rather than await effectually for someone to heal us, but that doesn't mean that beloved can't be a healing experience. It's actually romantic to thank someone for making yous feel expert, and that's precisely what this song (written by the flawless Carole King) is almost.
"Jade" - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "We can't help but follow, she's Buddha, just watch her/ She moves like an old gypsy woman but swears she's a daughter/ And all that she asks we'll allow her/ For Jade is the girl of the 60 minutes"
Rationale: Alex Ebert wrote this vocal for Jade Castrinos when they were both nevertheless dating and still the frontpeople of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. The vocal is a quiet dear letter of the alphabet to Castrinos―you lot could imagine Ebert singing it to her at night by the bivouac while the residue of the ring is asleep (that's this band's vibe, really). Information technology'due south a shame that nosotros no longer become to watch the sugariness human relationship between these talented musicians, just at least we'll always have this hippie beloved vocal.
"Wild Horses" - The Rolling Stones
About romantic lyrics: "Graceless lady/ Yous know who I am/ Yous know I can't let yous/ Slide through my hands/ Wild horses/ Couldn't drag me away"
Rationale: Ane of the wildest bands of the '60s and '70s too happened to write one of the most poignant songs nigh love and devotion. This is near a long, deep intimacy betwixt two people, and of beingness physically unable to resist the person yous admire.
"Jim Bogart" - The Front Bottoms
Most romantic lyrics: "I would slumber improve on your floor/ Than I would always in my bed/ And if your carpeting makes my confront itch/ It'd still exist heaven 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 practise his guitar every dark, to sleep on her flooring without complaint, and to to ignore his physician'south advice―all to win her dear. We shouldn't accept to debase ourselves for love (*rolls optics* yeah, yeah yes), but this is art. And if we're beingness honest, this sentiment is relatable for anyone who's prayed for their love to be reciprocated.
"Loving You lot" - Elvis Presley
Most romantic lyrics: "If I'thousand seen with someone new/ Don't be blue, don't you be blueish/ I'll exist faithful, I'll be true/ Always truthful, true to you"
Rationale: Elvis tells his love non to become jealous or to believe the hype effectually him and other women, reassuring her that she'south the one for him. Although multiple sources take claimed that Elvis did, indeed, crook on his wife, Priscilla, this remains his sweetest love song.
"Melissa" - The Allman Brothers Band
Virtually romantic lyrics: "Knowing many, loving none/ Bearin' sorrow, havin' fun/ Simply back home he'll always run/ To sweet Melissa"
Rationale: Hither, the Allman Brothers sing about a traveling musician who tin can't get over his sweetheart no affair how many other women he meets. She always ends up resurfacing in his mind, and eventually, he always returns to her.
"My Old Man" - Joni Mitchell
Virtually romantic lyrics: "He's my sunshine in the morning/ He's my fireworks at the stop of the day/ He's the warmest chord I e'er head/ Play that warm chord, play and stay, baby"
Rationale: Mitchell'due south soaring mezzo-soprano meanders through a portrait of her human relationship in this song, insisting throughout that, "We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall." She's saying that she doesn't need external validation of the relationship―this man gives her all she needs to feel secure in their bail.
"Devil In a New Dress" - Kanye West, Rick Ross
Most romantic lyrics: "Put your hands to the constellations/ The way you look should be a sin, you my sensation"
Rationale: Kanye West is a pretty polarizing figure, just this is notwithstanding one of my favorite albums of all fourth dimension. It's a bloodshot tribute to his infamous human relationship with Amber Rose, and this vocal encapsulates the often-sexy, always-complicated connection between two people who aren't good for each other, yet can't stay away from one some other.
"Dearest of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop)" - Erykah Badu, Common
Nearly romantic lyrics: "Simply that is all backside me/ 'Cause now in that location is no other/ My love is his and his is mine/ A friend became the/ Love of my life"
Rationale: Conventional advice tells united states of america to autumn in love with someone who tin can be our friend, too. This song is about 2 lifelong best friends who discover their manner back to each other after fourth dimension spent apart. With her famously beguiling vox, Erykah Badu captures the joy of existence truly known by 1's partner.
"A Sunday Kind of Honey" - Etta James
Most romantic lyrics: "I want a Sunday kind of love/ A love to final past Saturday dark/ I want to know information technology's more than honey 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/Swivel dates that go nowhere. She'd be maxim she was tired of sweaty strangers in confined shouting into her ear, over deafening music, asking if she wants to have 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 Sunday kind dear.

"She Will Be Loved" - Maroon five
Most 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 male child I had a crush on would love me plenty to stand outside my window in the rain. In retrospect, that would have been awkward and inconvenient to explicate to my mother, and these days I would probably find such behavior creepy (when I'1000 in my pajamas in my apartment, peacefully eating Takis and watching The Sopranos, the last affair I need is a human being standing outside, watching me from the street like something out of The Exorcist), but the sentiment of this song still stands.
"Because the Night" - Patti Smith

"Stay" - Rihanna, Mikky Ekko
Most romantic lyrics: "Not really certain how to feel about it/ Somethin' in the way yous motility/ Makes me feel like I can't alive without you"
Rationale: Love isn't a formula. There's no real logic to why we autumn in love with some people simply non others, and Rihanna hits the nail on the head when she says it's just "something in the way [he] move[due south]." It's reminiscent of The Beatles' song "Something." Speaking of which...

"Androgynous" - The Replacements
Almost romantic lyrics: "And they love each other and so/ Androgynous/ Closer than nosotros know, honey each other so/ Androgynous"
Rationale: This vocal is well-nigh two non-binary people falling in love, which is pretty absurd for a vocal from 1984. Our main characters, archetypically named Dick and Jane, love each other regardless of gender. The Replacements make a compelling argument about why traditional gender roles and clothing should make no divergence if you're truly in love with someone.
"I'll Be Seeing Yous" - Billie Holiday
Nigh romantic lyrics: "I'll find you in the morning lord's day/ In every lovely summer's day/ In everything that'due south correct and gay/ I'll always think of you"

"Sun Candy" - Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment
Most romantic lyrics: "You've got to move it slowly/ Accept it in my body like it's holy/ I've been waiting for you lot for the whole week/ I've been praying for yous, you lot're my Sunday processed"

"Come As You Are" - Nirvana
Nearly romantic lyrics: "Come equally you are/ As you lot were/ Every bit I want you to be"
Rationale: There are many interpretations of what this song means, ranging from mental health to friendship to commentary on inauthenticity. But, to me, "Come As You Are" works every bit the ultimate grunge dearest song; equally a promise to dear and appreciate someone just the way they are.
"Delight, Delight, Please" - James Brown
Almost romantic lyrics: "Infant please, infant delight, delight me/ Babe please, baby please don't go/ Don't go, I said baby, don't baby/ I love you and then"
Rationale: This song is virtually entirely comprised of James Brown repeating "please," and, supposedly, he got a lot of flack from his producers about that before its release.

Rationale: Without a dubiousness, you're familiar with Whitney Houston's rendition of "I Will E'er Beloved You," only I love Dolly Parton's soft-spoken, land version as well. Where Houston belts, Parton croons, making this a swell alternative for when y'all want to hear this vocal on a quiet evening in.

Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "And I wish you all the love in the globe/ Just most of all, I wish it from myself/ And the songbirds keep singing/ Similar they know the score"
Rationale: Fleetwood Mac's members were notorious for hooking upwards within their ranks, and Christine McVie (writer and main vocalist on this vocal) was no exception. This is a unique love vocal, considering information technology does unconditional beloved unlike whatever other: It illustrates how it's entirely possible to love someone and desire the best for them while accepting, albeit sadly, that yous might not be that best matter.
"First Day of My Life" - Brilliant Optics
Most romantic lyrics: "Just I realized I need you/ And I wondered if I could come dwelling"
Rationale: This Bright Eyes runway makes me wish I was amend at playing guitar.

It'southward an exercise in startling honesty, and the result, like the whole anthology, is profound.
"Sea of Love" - Cat Ability
Most romantic lyrics: "Come up with me, my love/ To the bounding main, the sea of love/ I wanna tell yous/ How much I love you "
Rationale: Originally, the last song on this list was going to be T.I.'southward "Whatever You Like" because I'm determined that it volition play at my wedding one solar day (I'1000 not kidding), just "Sea of Love" is too romantic to pass upwardly.
