I'm a rock fan and to me, love songs are all about the strumming guitars and lyrics. I don't care whether the guy can sing to a tune or not. Lyrics are above all else. They are what I connect with. Why am I on about love songs? I don't know. Maybe because I had coffee in the morning with my girlfriend after 7 months and found myself wishing I could do this forever.
Maybe because in 7 years of being together, we've been with each other for only 8-10 months and I really hope you have no idea what that is like.
Or maybe I'm just tired with all the travelling and working around the clock and this music is right now really getting to me and I mean in a good way.
Anyway, here goes the list in no particular order. Click on it for links to lyrics incase you haven't heard them. These are quite possibly the world's best love songs ever.
