Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up

I’m a big fan of Jason Mraz but only recently discovered this song. “I Won’t Give Up” is a slow and sweet love song that has been less publicised, at least where I live. If you can play the guitar and sing, this would be the perfect love song to sing to your loved one at a wedding or on Valentines day, it is after all, almost February now. It [...]

 

 
 

Gin Wigmore - I Do

Released as the second single from Gin Wigmore’s studio album debut entitled Holy Smoke, “I Do” is a sweet pop song that sounds authentic and unique thanks to Gin’s signature voice. It’s a slow yet catchy song that will no doubt help you get the “I Do”.

 

 
 

Ron Pope - A Drop In The Ocean

I discovered this song after hearing a snippet of it from season 3 of Vampire Diaries. Apparently Ron Pope wrote this song in 2005 and it went on to become an Internet hit! Well I’m only discovering this song 7 years late, but whose complaining? Anywho, this is a really sweet love song about a guy is leaving town and has feelings for a girl who is seeing him off, [...]

 

 
 

Lionel Richie - Hello

Released in 1984, “Hello” went on to become Lionel Richie’s signature song. Most famous for its line “Hello, is it me you’re looking for?”. The wonderful slow piano music really sets the mood along with the powerful lyrics that truly describe how one feels when they see the one they love every day but he or she doesn’t seem to know they even exist.

 

 
 

James Morrison - You Give Me Something

This 2006 song by James Morrison is the type of song which talks about someone who never expected to find love and now that they’ve found it, are unsure what to do with it. In particular is this line – I was meant to tread the water But now I’ve gotten in too deep I think it’s a really sweet love song and listened to it extensively when I was [...]

 

 
 

Brian McFadden - Like Only a Woman Can

Written by Brian McFadden for Delta Goodrem who had helped Brian through a difficult part of his life “Like Only a Woman Can”. The song is really cute and sweet and really captures the essence and power a woman has over a man. In particular, my favourite verse is – She’s kinda perfect She’s kinda everything I’m not Yes, she’s an angel It’s amazing how she’s patient Even more at [...]

 

 
 

Amel Larrieux - Make Me Whole

I stumbled upon this beautiful piece of music recently by Amel Larrieux (French I think it is). Her voice is so soft and soulful that truly brings the words of this song to life. If you read the lyrics to the chorus: Cause your eyes are the windows to heaven Your smile could heal a million souls Your love completes my existence You’re the other half that makes me whole [...]

 

 
 

Bright Eyes - First Day of My Life

A bit sad, yet a highly touching and moving song. It also sounds very honest and exposing in my opinion, with the acoustic guitar and lack of autotune (not that it’s a bad thing), it feels like he’s just come to a huge realisation that his life seemed empty before he met her and he’s just dashed in with a guitar and sung her a song to let her know [...]

 

 
 

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight

Eric wrote this song as he was waiting for his then wife and model Pattie Boyd while waiting for her to get dressed and ready to attend an annual Buddy Holly, hosted by none other than Paul McCartney. It’s funny because in the entire time that Pattie took to get ready, Eric had written an entire song. This song has gone on to become a timeless classic, becoming a fixture [...]

 

 
 

Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah

This has got to be one of the sweetest love songs ever written from a guy to a girl. Though it was later revealed later that the two never dated, the song goes on to be Plain White T’s’ biggest hit so far. Funnily enough though, the song was released in 2005, but took 2 years until it reached #1 on the BillBoard Hot 100 in July 2007.
