I'm back on my love song bullshoot (got to keep it PG, fam) with a whole new list, just days before the special (*cough* depressing *cough*) holiday. I, like many in the world, am a fond lover of Rom-Coms, so I've compiled a neat & tidy list of the perfect songs to narrate your own real-life Rom-Com. Notice, I said yours, because it just ain't happening for me this year so far, dawg. It's my basic list rules so no repeat artists, and I kept it mostly current within the last year or so (with some exceptions), with these random but lovable tunes. Enjoy!
