• A Look at Love Songs

  I was thinking earlier about love songs and how some are more prominent than others during certain stages of a relationship. You know, some songs are about the feelings you get when you pine from afar, some songs are about the beginning, others are about how happy you are right then and there, others still are about plights and betrayal, and the rest are about what happens when it's over. 

  So, feel completely free to judge me all you want, but here's a list of some of my favorite love songs taken from my music library. It's like my father always says, "you like what you like." If you don't like them, that's fine. Each to his own, but try them out. 

  In alphabetical order by artist: 

  • Adele- Make You Feel My Love (Bob Dylan cover)
  • Backstreet Boys- I Promise You (With Everything I Am)
  • The Beatles- I've Just Seen A Face
