The 15 Most Beautiful Love Songs

Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and many people explain their feelings through song. Here are 15 of the most beautiful songs to ever be recorded; some are heart-breakers, and others will make you swoon and think of that very special person. These are great songs to have in any playlist and some can even be easy to learn on the guitar, so you have the chance to serenade that special someone this Sunday!

15. Peter Gabriel - "In Your Eyes"


This song is the main theme of "Say Anything" and the iconic scene of John Cusack holding a radio on top of his head while playing this song has become a cultural icon.

14. "Photograph" - Ed Sheeran


Anything that Ed Sheeran writes is beautifu and deserves all the awards. This is a beautiful song and the video accompanying it is just wonderful.

13. "I Just Called to Say I Love You" - Stevie Wonder


Stevie Wonder's amazing voice is so good in this song. It's upbeat but the lyrics mean so much.The song was in the Billboard top 100 for three weeks and was number 1 in 19 countries.

12. "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing" - Aerosmith


This one is a classic and it served as Armageddon's theme song in 1998. The song is Aerosmith's biggest hit and it stayed in number 1 for four weeks in 1998. The song itself was written by musician Diane Warren and Chicago musician Phil Kosch.

11. "More Than Words Can Say" - Alias


Aside from all the hairspray on this video this song is very beautiful and has stayed, to this day, a ballad staple.

10. "Wild Horses" - The Sundays


I first heard this song when I was watching "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and fell completely in love with it. The song was first released by the Rolling Stones in 1971 and quickly became one of their most noticeable songs. It wasn't until 1992 that The Sundays recorded their beautifully executed version - and dare I say, it's better than the original.

9. "Make You Feel My Love" - Adele


Simply beautiful. This song was originally recorded by Bob Dylan in 1997 but Adele did such a wonderful job with it that people barely know of the original. This is a must on your "Valentine's Day Playlist".

8. "Without You" - Lea Michele


Glee took Usher's song and turned it into a beautiful ballad that was very successful and brings forth the beautiful lyrics.

7. "The Power of Love" - Celine Dion


This is another cover song that many don't even know that it's a cover! Celine Dion's hit was originally recorded by Jennifer Rush in the 80's but it was Celine's version that put the song on the map and made it a classical power ballad that people still love to this day.

6. "Something" - The Beatles


The song was written by George Harrison and has become one of his most successful songs that he ever recorded. The song was inspired by George Harrison's wife, Patty Boyd and even though many artists have covered the song, Patty said that her favorite version was the one that George sang to her in their kitchen. Swoon.

5. "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" - Amy Winehouse


Amy's version was released in 2007 and is one of her most honest songs. It was originally recorded by "The Shirelles" in 1960 and a different version of Amy's was released on her posthumous album "Lioness".

4. "Love of My Life" - Queen


The song was a crowd favorite in concerts and after Freddie Mercury died, Bryan May would dedicate the song to the late singer.

3. "I Want to Know What Love Is" - Foreigner


It's listed as one of the best songs of all times and still, to this day, keeps its popularity. A fun fact about this sing is that the song features backing vocals from the New Jersey Mass Choir affiliated with the Gospel Workshop of America, Dreamgirls star Jennifer Holiday, and the Thompson Twins.

2. "Take My Breath Away" - Berlin


Top Gun has an amazing soundtrack but one of the most beautiful ballads of all time came from pop artist Berlin. the song went to become a huge hit and has been covered by countless artists.

1. "My Heart Will Go On" - Celine Dion


Celine Dion is the queen of love song and this one is extremely epic just like the movie "Titanic". This song shattered the charts in 1997 and became the biggest movie theme in the 90's. The song was a pioneer for future movie love theme. I dare you to listen to this and not shed a few tears. Plus, she's singing this live. HOT. DAMN.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
