100 ULTIMATE LOVE SONGS (A LIST BY CITRA P. NANDA)
It's been a looooong time, I know. So, without further ado... here's the list, part, I dunno, I can't even remember anymore ;p.
41. XO by Beyonce / John Mayer
best part: In the darkest night hour, I'll search through the crowd.
Your face is all that I see, I'll give you everything.. Baby love me lights out.
Why am I loving it: I think this song is Beyonce's best love song ever. It's very simple, very adorable, it's giving me joy and affection. To be honest, I love John Mayer's version more. If this song is already great with Bee sings it, then John Mayer makes it the ultimate love song. I LOVE IT.
42. I Follow River by Lykke Li
Best part: I, I follow, I follow you deep sea, baby, I follow you
I, I follow, I follow you dark doom, honey, I follow you
Why am I loving it: It's a very catchy song. Just listen the Magician remix and you'll find yourself sing along with it. Then, you realise that this song is very loving and beautiful.
43. Sugar by Maroon 5
Best part: My broken pieces, you pick 'em up
Don't leave me hanging, hanging, come get me some.
Why am I loving it: Perhaps because the video. It's just sweet. If Maroon 5 were crashing my wedding, I can't promise to be a good bride ;) though, it's basically same tune as Maroon 5 always singing. Still catchy and sweet.
44. Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran
Best part: So honey now, take me into your loving arms
Kiss me under the light of thousands stars, place your head on my beating heart
and thinking out loud, maybe we found love right where we are.
Why am I loving it: You can't pass 2014 without hearing this song in every radio station, every music channel, every store, etc. But it was justified. The song is freaking romantic, cheesy but you'll admit it so lovely. Good job, Sheeran.
45. Magic by Coldplay
Best part: And if you were to ask me, after all we've been through
Still believe in magic? Yes I do.
Why am I loving it: Coldplay has their share in romantic song, it's a common knowledge. But I kinda have an emotional connection when listening to this song. It's so hopeful and very lovely because love is kinda like magic, don't you think? ;)
46. Safe and Sound by Capital Cities
Best part: You could be my luck, even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound.
Why am I loving it: Now many of beat up sounds music are romantic. Love songs are no longer mellow and slow. This song is one of many songs that are proof of that I guess. Dance while you're fall in love :)
47. Rather Be by Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne
Best part: I would wait forever, exalted in the sea
But as long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat.
Why am I loving it: "If you gave me a chance, I would take it" so I gave it a chance and turns out this song is so lovely. Very romantic.
48. Latch by Disclosure
Best part: Now I got you in my space, I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace, I'm latching on to you.
Why am I loving it: 2013/2014 is Disclosure's year. Latch is very catchy, very lovely, very modern love song. One of my favourite.
49. Birthday by Katy Perry
Best part: Boy, when you're with me, I'll give you a taste
Make it like your birthday everyday.
Why am I loving it: I just love the song, I guess. It's a pop song, so you'll sing along just find and the lyric is very playful and lovely, just like Katy herself.
50. Come Alive by Chromeo feat. Toro y Moi
Best part: It's not a lot but all I want to do is skip town on a weekend with you.
Why am I loving it: True modern love song. It's catchy, funky and kinda romantic. Enough to make it to the list. Beside, who doesn't love the video ;)
