5 Love Songs Everybody Can Relate To If You've Loved Before

The thing about love songs are that they're universal yet variable. Every one of you (I hope) has experienced the romantic feeling of love at least once before. If that's the case, we all know the feeling of love, but it's different from everyone, and the specific feeling even depends on the person whom you love. Here are five love songs which I think capture what's relevant to everyone who has loved.

1. "Common Sense" by Joshua Bassett

This song is Joshua's first solo single, and it is nothing less than amazing. It talks about how, in a relationship, common sense isn't always the easiest thing to listen to. on the outside of a situation, it's easier to determine how to handle things, or how others should handle things, but when you are in all of the chaos of the situation, it's hard to do what would make the most logical sense. This song is cute and simple, but also makes a very valid point of how hard it is to do the "correct thing" when in a relationship.

2. "I Will Be There" by Odessa

Odessa has such an amazing voice. She has light and airy vocals that this song meshes so well with. The song is a classic love song and just makes you feel comforted. The overall message of this song is about how no matter what happens, she will be there and at their side through it all. I just think this is a cute song filled with so much love.

3. "How Long Will I Love You" by Elle Goulding

When I think of the song I want to have my first dance to at my wedding, I think of this song. Elle's voice is just flawless, but that isn't the best part of this song. The lyrics to this song are so heartwarming. The composition of the song also just adds to the overall appeal of the song. The light instrumental mixture mixed with Elle's raspy voice and the heartfelt lyrics just makes it the perfect song to add to a wedding playlist.

4. "I Love You" by Alex & Sierra

The dynamic of this duo is just so unique and definitely contributes to their emotional ballads. The love that pours out of this song is so warming and heart wrenching. The love between those two definitely reverberates throughout this song, and in their music in general.

5. "Say It First" by Sam Smith

Sam Smith does it again. He is such a vulnerable musician and that definitely held true in these lyrics. He explains how he is waiting for the person he loves to tell him that they love him first. He has to know that the feelings are mutual before he can be completely vulnerable. This is due to past emotional trauma. The lyrics are just so honest and even more relatable.

Here were five of my favorite love songs that most definitely will be played at my wedding. And now maybe yours, too!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
