Many people think of love songs as being a typical slow song, but love songs come in many different fashions. It can be an upbeat tempo, rocked out, or a good old fashion slow jam. However its sung, a love song is one that touches the soul.
As a lover of music, I enjoy music from various genres. So I’ve put together a list of songs for you to enjoy this Valentine’s Day that represent the various stages of love. From infatuation, happily ever after, crazy in love, to gut wrenching break ups. Love can be a match made in heaven, while others leave you wondering “What the heck was I thinking?” Check it out to see if any of your favorites made the list.

I love how you included songs from every genre on here. My husband and I’s song is Meet in the Middle by Diamond Rio. It’s an old song, but we had to do a lot of meeting in the middle in order to get our relationship on solid ground since we are polar opposites. Yet, we love each other with such a strong passion that we can’t resist it.

So many great songs there, love ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, John Legend especially. I’d probably add The Chainsmokers and Coldplay – Something just like this. The tune is not very traditionally romantic but i think the lyrics are.
I’ve always thought the Police, every breath you take is a bit stalker-y but maybe that’s just me!!
