I don’t know, there’s just something about a guy that can sing. I’m not even talking about professionally, either. Honestly if you can tell it makes his heart happy and you can see the glow he has in his eyes because of the joy, it’s just fulfilling to see that kind of happiness in him. Then there’s those who can’t sing whatsoever, but we still imagine in our fantasy world that they can and all is well. The songs listed are sappy and mushy and all around amazing to listen to when you think of you and your S.O. Plus, there’s all types of genres included. In a relationship? Fantastic. Still planning your wedding with your celebrity crush? Even better, me too. Whoever the cutie, slyly and sweetly hand him this playlist and tell him to learn every word…NBD.
1. "First Day Of My Life" - Bright Eyes
This video always brings tears to my eyes. It shows you that love is love and if you are fortunate enough to have it, cherish it.
2. "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) - Sleeping At Last
That's right, he would do the physically impossible for you.
3. "Angel" - Jack Johnson
BRB, swooning.
4. "Stay A Little Longer" - Brothers Osborne
Everyone needs a little country. And what better way for him to tell you he doesn't want you to leave than to sing it to you?
5."Favorite Faded Pair Of Jeans" - Amber's Drive
This local band is amazing and they know exactly how your guy feels about you. Ever compared your love to jeans? Didn't think so.
6. "The Girl" - City and Colour
Let him let you know that you are amazing!
7. "You & I (Nobody In The World)"- John Legend
This shows that everyone is beautiful and there is someone for everyone. Your S.O. needs to let you know that all the time...it would just add if he would sing this song to you, too.
8. "Mark My Words" - Justin Bieber
It's Justin. Just be real, we are all #Beliebers deep down...some more obvious than others. It also helps if he is your celebrity crush that you are going to hand off this playlist to because he will already know all the words...in the same voice...and body...and...what was I saying?
9. "Hold You In My Arms" - Ray LaMontagne
What beats cuddling? This also reminds me of "She's The Man," so bonus points if he can quote the movie, too.
10. "Annie's Song" - John Denver
Throwin' it back just a couple of decades...variety is good, I promise!
11. "Would You Go With Me" - Josh Turner
All you can do is wish him luck when he tries to go this low.
13. "Beautiful Soul" - Jesse McCartney (Boyce Avenue Cover)
Jesse sings it beautifully, but Boyce Avenue adds their own twang to it. (You can always request for your man to learn the original BTW.)
14. "Because You Live" - Jesse McCartney
Yeah, why not bring the real Jesse into this?
15. "Die A Happy Man" - Thomas Rhett
Make your man watch (and recreate) this vid too because it is the definition of #goals.
16. "Everything" - Michael Bublé
It's unlikely he'll be able to sound remotely close to Michael, but he can try.
17. "Work Song" - Hozier
Alright, so this one is kind of dramatic...maybe a lot, talking about crawling out of the grave for his girl and everything. But it is still a super sweet gesture, I'll take it.
18. "XO" - John Mayer
If any man could re-do a Beyoncé song, it would be John Mayer. And maybe your man. Don't set the bars too high though, he's trying.
19. "Kiss Me" - Ed Sheeran
No this isn't the basic "Kiss Me" song. You know you're not basic, he knows you're not basic. No basic songs allowed.
20. "Angel" - Ernie Halter
Because you deserve to be called an angel more than once.
21. "This I Promise You" - 'N Sync
Because don't we all secretly want our BFs to be able to quote 'N Sync songs anyway?? No? Okay, whatever. Just watch the video if anything. With all the boys dressed in turtle necks, singing in a forest/ jungle, magically turning into bubbles (that's lit) and Ramen Noodle hair JT, you honestly don't need to watch anything for the rest of the day. Just enjoy this gem. It's a sweet song regardless how incredibly strange the music video is.
So, hopefully your guy will take the time out of his schedule and learn these because you're obviously worth it. Okay, maaaaybe you could let him off the hook if he just bought you some ice cream and sat with you through your favorite ROM-COM, but this was worth a shot, right?
