As Valentine’s Day rolls around, the topic of love finds itself on the mind. Those with a significant other enjoy buying their valentine gifts, such as flowers and chocolate. Those without a valentine loath the holiday because it serves as a reminder of bad past relationships or loneliness.
Love, or lack there of, is a difficult subject to discuss; it means something different to every person. But when transformed into lyrics, emotions about love and relationships run wild. Nothing says it better than the lyrics of a love song.
The majority of songs are written about wanting to be in love, being in love, or falling out love. Song writers use this dramatic cycle as a way to express emotions. On the other end, listeners use these lyrics to find comfort knowing others have the same experiences.
Think of three of your favorite songs. What are they about? If it is something along the lines of relationships, heart break or a special someone you will get what I mean.
Perusing the ITunes store this week, I found a CD titled “Valentine’s Day Songs for 2010.” Below are a few lyric selections from songs on this CD. Maybe they will help you generate ideas on how to tell your valentine you love them this Valentine’s Day. Enjoy!
And you’re always in my heart
You’re always on my mind
When it all becomes too much
You’re never far behind
And there’s no one that comes close to you
Could ever take your place
Cause only you can love me this way
-“Only You Can Love Me This Way”: Keith Urban
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
-“Today was Today Was A Fairytale”: Taylor Swift
And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
-“By Your Side”:
-J-
These lyrics are great! Regardless of whether you are single or not it is still a good feeling to listen to songs with lyrics like these. I guess it gives me hope that love is out there, somewhere.
ReplyDeleteI am the biggest sucker for corny love songs. I believe in all of it! But at the same time I am also a lyric person more than a beat person so I tend to over dissect them! I liked what you said about how you either love or hate the holiday based on relationship status. Lucky for me my dad has always said he is my valentine so I am all set! Hope your holiday is great:)
