Best Love Songs Of All Time

There are so many love songs that it’s hard to choose the best ones of all time, but here is a small list of some of the best, and my reasoning for choosing those songs.

Unchained Melody by Righteous Brothers

This songs gets you from the very first syllable. The first syllable is “wo” which is nothing special, but you immediately feel the passion and emotion in this song.

This is one of the best love songs of all time because its perspective on love is rich in that throughout the song, different emotions are expressed and experienced. There is everything from longing to melancholy to hope to joy.

The singers are tremendous vocalists. They are able to create and transmit all those feelings with just their voices. Bravo!

Moon River by Audrey Hepburn

This may not be a love song in the most direct way where we expect people to fall in love. This is a love song to one’s own sense of wander. But it’s often viewed as a love song because it’s from a romantic movie, so this masterpiece makes our list of best love songs of all time because it’s one of the best tunes overall.

Candle In The Wind by Sir Elton John

Here is the original:

Here is the version dedicated to Princess Diana:

One of the things that makes this song so emotional is that we already know the sad fate of the main character. That melancholy feel of this song is magical and sweet. If this song resonates with you, you may be interested in my list of some of the best sad love songs.
