The Best Love Songs Ever

This song first appeared on one of Seal's albums before being brought back to life by the Batman Forever movie. There also exists two music videos for the song. The one listed I believe is the best of the two.

With it's great melody, Seal's voice and lyrics this is one of the best love songs out there. Some have said this song is about drug use, but it's hard to imagine it being about anything other than love. The song contains a great lyric in:

"Love remains a drug that's the high and not the pill"

This song always makes me think of someone special.

This is definitely one of the Backstreet Boys' best songs. All I Have To Give seems to be about a guy who likes a girl but can't give her all the expensive things another man, seemingly her boyfriend, can. This same boyfriend also makes her cry and surely some other things not expressly mentioned in the song. The song's hero can only give the girl that he's smitten by one thing, his love.

I think something that makes this song great is that it implies, or poses, the question if giving your love is enough. The girl's boyfriend sounds like he can give her any material want she could desire, but is that enough? Can the poorer guy with nothing but himself to give actually GET the girl?

The song doesn't answer this, but I enjoy the fact it is brought up.

This song on the list I think may be hindered by the music video. It was a good choice for 3 Doors Down to keep it mostly performance based.

Here Without You is about missing someone you love. How when you think of them all the miles between you and them go away. I think anyone who has ever actually experienced:

"A hundred days have me older since the last time that I saw your pretty face"

Will be able to relate well to this song. Distance is no object or hindrance to the two lovers in this song. No matter where you are or where they are you can't stop thinking about them, and wanting to be with them again, and that times get hard, but when you're reunited your love will be as strong as ever.

Fantastic love song.

Once upon a time in music there was a love affair between the two singers that duet in this song. Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey were one of the most well known couples of pop music during the late 90s and early 2000s. This song, they did for the Here On Earth movie soundtrack, captures a moment in time when these two singers were head over heels in love with each other. It shows in the music video and you can hear it in the song.

Arguably one of the most romantic songs on this website Where You Are seems to actually be about lost love. Lost love in the actual death of a loved one. For those who may not be aware Jessica Simpson is a faithful Christian which is where a lot of her earliest music inspirations came from, so Where You Are is perfectly in the arena Jessica would write and sing about.

This song shines in what's heard and felt more than what's sung and spoken. In a few years this song should easily be on love song compilations from it's time period and love song collections.

The back story of this band is interesting enough to reiterate. O-Town was the band created by P Diddy after the first season of MTV's Making The Band. They have since broken up and the blonde in the video, Ashley Parker Angel, has gone on to do other things. Also during this time, Diddy, was looking to get into the boyband business also creating a girl group named Dream. Neither band had a long run in the big time and are both broken up now, but they did give us the random good song here and there. Which brings us to All or Nothing.

The song is about giving everything you have to someone and wanting them to give it back. If they won't give you everything they are and everything they have, then the hero doesn't think that's enough to continue.

Despite how it sounds the song is very heartfelt.
