message 12: by Gabby (last edited May 29, 2014 03:50PM) (new)

Gabby (gabriellaglad) | 7 comments 1.So Amazing-Luther Vandross
2. Oblivion-Bastille
3.Somewhere Only We Know-Keane (but the darren criss version is pretty great)
4. Skinny Love-Bon Iver (or Birdy because she's pretty great as well)
5.Kiss Me-Ed Sheeran


message 13: by Lilly (new)

Lilly Povey In no particular order:
Paramore- The Only Exception (love isn't exactly reasonable)
Claude Debussy- Clair de Lune (love does not always need words)
Keane- Somewhere Only We Know (love needs a place to be alone)
Kimbra- Two Way Street (love isn't always one sided, it ought to be a mutual appreciation)
Elton John- Your Song (sometimes it's nice to just be adored, you know?)

I feel like these songs aren't like entirely "love songs" but i think they're my top 5 choices anyway. Sometimes love songs are more depressing than uplifting, which is sad because love is happy.
