100 ULTIMATE LOVE SONGS (A LIST BY CITRA P. NANDA)

31. I Want to Hold Your Hand by The Beatles
best part: And when I touch you I feel happy inside
It's such a feeling that, my love, I can't hide, I can't hide.. I can't hide.

why am I loving it: Okay, let me explain this song by quoting this quote from Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist. *yeah, I love that movie, so back off hater!*
"Look, other bands, they want to make it about sex or pain, but you know, The Beatles, they had it all figured out, okay? "I Want to Hold Your Hand." The first single. It's effing brilliant, right?... That's what everybody wants, Nicky. They don't want a twenty-four-hour hump sesh, they don't want to be married to you for a hundred years. They just want to hold your hand." perfect, right?

32. Mirrors by Justin Timberlake
best part: I don't wanna lose you know, I'm looking right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart is a space that now you hold
Show me how tho fight for now and I'll tell you, baby, it was easy coming back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror, my mirror staring back at me.

why am I loving it: This song is probably the newest song in the list, JT released this song on February 2013 but I tell you this, this is THE SONG yo'. So sweet, so pure, so magnificent. Read the lyric, and sing it out loud along the song and you'll feel it.

33. I'm Sticking With You by The Velvet Underground
best part: There's people going into the stratosphere
Soldier fighting with the Cong
But with you by my side I can do anything, when we swing, babe, we hang past right and wrong.

why am I loving it: I'm not, you know, really thought deeply about this song, whether it's about drugs, or interracial couple in Vietnam War, I don't care. This song is simple admiration among couple. Sometimes, all the matter is your loves one is sticking with you, during the best and the worst. As simple as that.

34. Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden

As your shadow crosses mine, what it takes to come alive.

Sew on patches to all your tears 'cause I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am.

why am I loving it: So simple this song is. All we wanted is be loved just the way we are right? Love can be explain by the simplest thing in life. The details are important.

38. FNT by Semisonic
best part: Fascinating new thing, don't betray them by becoming familiar
I'm surprised that you've never been told before that you're lovely and you're perfect
And that somebody wants you.

why am I loving it: I remember when I first heard this song, it's in 10 Things I Hate About You. Semisonic was this big thing on the 90s and FNT was perfect song to end the 90s era. It's definitely The Love song for coming-of-ages people. I love this song!

39. Sampai Nanti by Kahitna
best part: Sampai nanti tak terbatas inginku, harap ini takdirku 'tuk selalu denganmu, oh dewiku.

why am I loving it: Kahitna is The Band for loveliest love songs in Indonesia. I particularly love this song because it's kinda over-the-top, but good over-the-top. The lyric is kinda poetic and cheesy, great mix for love song.

40. Anyone Else But You by Moldy Peaches
best part: I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train
I kiss you all starry eyes, my body's swinging from side to side
I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else but you.

why am I loving it: SO CUTE! This song is cute beyond measure. Sure cute for two ugly people.
