Best Love Songs Of All Time

When thinking about the best love songs of all time, one's mind leaps first to the obvious; songs with "love" in the title, or a televised version of "All You Need is Love", but probe slightly deeper and you will find a murky swamp of music that is all, in a little way, about the idea of love.

Out of this huge pool, one occasionally discovers a special gem, a song that touches you in a way you some how remember, and you find yourself playing it on repeat, for 7 days, thinking about someone so hard you're sure they can feel it then you know it was love.

BEST LOVE SONGS OF ALL TIME #1

YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND

QUEEN

Sung by the late, great Freddie Mercury, this is one of the best love songs, if only for the sheer amount of relationships it could relate to. Sisters, brothers, husbands, wives, friends, friends with benefits; this one includes them all without weirding anyone out.

Freddie was writing about a boy, I bet, but, as with most gay anthems from the '70s you'd never guess it. If you are a boy and you put this on a mixed tape for a girl (or boy), s/he will cry.

BEST LYRIC: Whenever this world is cruel to me, ooh, you make me live, and I really love you, you're my best friend.

BEST LOVE SONGS OF ALL TIME #2

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU

NEIL YOUNG

With only 7 or so lines of lyrics, 10 tons of gravelly voice, and 3.5 rippin' guitar solos, this quintessential Canadian cowboy manages to get across exactly what love could be like after going through heaven and probably bits of hell.

What his lyrics lack in bulk his passionate solos make up for in content. The way he cradles the guitar like the nape of a woman's neck and plays with all his words cannot saywell, let's just say it's good.

BEST LYRIC: I've been looking for a woman, to save my life, not to beg or to borrow, a woman with the feeling of losing once or twice.

BEST LOVE SONGS OF ALL TIME #3

MY MOON MY MAN

FEIST

Feist is yet another superstar Canadian who manages to make music simple in the most addictive sense. The jangly instruments perfectly echo her excitement in girl-talkin' about her man, and her apparent desire to stretch out their ritualistic mating as long as possible by writing songs about one another and bouncing around in the moonlight.

BEST LOVE SONGS LYRIC: How honestly my beggar should be, the song's out of key again, my fools, my things, we're digging the things, if the candlelit page again.
