My 101 All Time Favorite Love/Sad Songs
I interpret the first 12 songs and then list the rest. Enjoy.
1. My Heart Will Go On – Celine Dion
As cliché as it may seem, coming in at number one is this now, timeless song from the Titanic soundtrack. What makes this song a standout track is its assisted visuals of the movie’s ending where the viewer witnesses Rose dying warm in her bed. The camera pans through photographs of her accomplishing everything that Jack wanted her to and the movie ends with her being reunited with Jack in the afterlife: a concept that many couples still hope will come true. The idea of being together forever and until the end of time.
2. Bleeding Love – Leona Lewis
Coming in at number 2 is a song that, as of late, has been finding me everywhere I go. It’s years old yet whenever I think of someone special I could turn on the radio or walk into a store and this song will come on. To me, it’s not a coincidence. And I believe it's telling me that when I am in love with someone I should try and hold onto it and pursue it regardless of what my friends or family or anyone else thinks. Just follow my instincts.
3. We Belong Together – Mariah Carey
To me this song is about settling with someone you don’t really love and then realizing that you have loved someone else this whole time and that you have made a mistake so you go after the one you truly love.
4. Enchanted – Taylor Swift
This is a very beautiful song about catching the eye of someone across the table at a party or large a group outing and having no idea that sooner or later you will have a beautiful love affair with them. And despite it possibly never going anywhere you will still have been enchanted to meet them.
5. Iris – Goo Goo Dolls
This song is about wanting to be loved and accepted for who you are.
6. True Colors – Cyndi Lauper
This song is about showing your true colors because you are beautiful just the way you are and you shouldn't have to change yourself.
7. Every Breath You Take – The Police
With lyrics such as “Every move you make, Every bond you break, Every step you take, I'll be watching you” this song could appear to have a “stalking” vibe to it. But my interpretation of this song is that the singer is a guardian angel watching over the one they loved when they were alive.
8. Fade – Jakwob featuring MaidayA dark song about recovering from a broken heart and wanting to fall into the sky. “Did you mean to blow me up? I just wanted to be loved”
9. The Moment I Knew – Taylor Swift
A song about being stood up by the person that means the most to you on your birthday no less. This song relates to me in that I have had a very similar experience.
10. Don’t Forget About Us – Mariah Carey
This song is about begging your ex-lover to remember the best of times and to never forget what they had.“Baby I must confess, We were bigger than anything, Remember us at our best, And don't forget about us”
11. Last Night I Heard Everything In Slow Motion - Oliver Tank
A song used for a gay marriage campaign in Australia. Every time I listen to this song I just think of the cycle of a relationship. Meeting someone for the very first time, exchanging phone numbers, going on dates, becoming lovers, being there for each other when their family dies, getting married, starting a family and growing old together. It’s the cycle of love.
12. Someone Like You – Adele
Imagine walking alone in the romantic city of Paris hoping that someday you will find someone just like the lover who broke your heart.
