Highly recommend his Unbroken Promise as well, because…”It won’t be perfect. Dude gets the whole ‘I’m a man and I’ve fucked up’ perspective. Saw him at the same place as this YouTube video a few years earlier. Ok, so I guess the hopeless romantic in me let a few conventional ones slip in this list. Period.Ĭan’t really have a love song list without a country song in there now can we? That being said, I feel like this song more accurately represents the struggle that the women I was with before now went through. Much more indicative of what a real relationship entails. Makes me think of my friends Matt and Stephanie. Not sure this song really represents my own feelings or experiences, but I think it’s a beautifully honest and raw song about love nonetheless. This may not necessarily buck the trend, but this is what I want love to be.

Probably should start with something sappy before I lose you all. I probably wouldn’t feel the desire to make this list if that weren’t the case, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t some truth to it all either. Or, at least, what real relationships look like.Ĭourse, this is coming from a single guy. To show what I mean, I have listed some love songs below that I feel more accurately represent real love: hard, complicated, painful, confusing, often disappointing, struggle filled, up and down, and just earth moving. Real love, or just our experiences with love in general, are far more complicated. The I will always love you’s of the world are far more Disney fairy tale than reality despite how much we adore them. Regardless, I’m not sure all the traditional sappy tunes out there really represent what real love is like. Orrrr, one of those songs that comes on your stereo and you swear your stereo is trying to fuck with you, and that somehow it knows you’ve just had your heart broken. Like many people, I love a good ballad, or some soul engulfing love song that promotes ALL THE FEELS.Ī song you can turn on when you just wanna be engulfed in every little feeling you’re experiencing like some giddy little school girl.
