Searching for the perfect love song is no easy task. There are thousands of them - some happy, some sad, some classic, others just plain weird. Since many people are looking for songs to make mix tapes and for weddings, I’ve decided to start a series on It Might Be Love featuring playlists of some of my personal favorite love songs.
I have what I would call an acquired eclectic taste in music - which means I like a lot of things a lot of people probably wouldn’t. I am also constantly searching for new and obscure music. So my first playlist in this series is a somewhat odd collection of love songs for people who don’t gravitate to the popular love songs that you hear constantly on the radio. Some are a little odd or a bit of a stretch, but they’re all somehow related to love.
You should just be able to click on any song & scroll down to see the entire list of 100 love songs from this playlist.
Want to add any of these songs to your collection? You can find most of them at Amazon.com. If you think I’m missing any “unusual love songs” feel free to post them in the comments - I do have this nagging feeling I forgot a few for this list. I’ll be bringing you some more “traditional” love songs in the next few weeks.

[...] At any rate, here’s a collection of love songs for you to enjoy Special thanks to Marc for suggesting Moondance. :) If you missed my last music playlist post, you can listen to an odd collection of odd/unpopular love songs here. [...]
I listened to the whole list, and I love them all. Great list.
I’m glad you enjoyed it Kati!
thats odd… I thought Kati was a more uncommon name and that’s exactly how she spelled it. She was my girlfriend for like a year we just recently split. probably a coincidence
Check out “Please” by Ray LaMontange.. would go very well with this list.
That is one of the ones I knew I must have been missing! Will add it on
: )
I LOVE this list! I’m always looking for new great songs, now these will be some of my new favourites! What about “Sea of Love” by Cat Power?
I love Cat Power - I’m sure there will be a Part 2 to this list before too long!
:)
I’m looking forward to it!
Love this list–with some new bands to look up. The only weird one is the Decemberists “We Both Go Down Together”–many fans believe it’s a song about rape and suicide. So it’s a little bizarre for me. I would add “She’s the One for Me” by Beta Band. I’ll have to think of some other ones…
Yeah, the Decemberists is a little “iffy” as a love song, but I liked the “we both go down together” part of it…
I definitely welcome all suggestions, I’m in the process of compiling a second one that should be up in a couple of days
great list !! lots of songs I didn’t know yet.. so now I do!
thx!
Great list, but should include Fill Me Up by Staind, awesome alt. love song
Thanks for the suggestion Marisa, I’ve got another one coming out this weekend and will include it!
