Falling in love is the best feeling, but it wouldn’t be complete without a soundtrack, right? If you’re not sure where to start, look at this list.
I mean no disrespect, but when Bob Marley said, “One good thing about
music, when it hits you, you feel no pain,” I think he was wrong. Music
can trigger a lot of emotions in us – especially when we are in love.
More often than not, it can even be that little push that sends us off
the cliff.
50 songs to listen to when you’re falling in love
Whether it feels like falling in love – or flying in love – here are
the top 50 songs that represent different kinds of falling in love. We
have the happy kind, the sad kind, and the in-between. These are songs
that either you’re unfamiliar with or you haven’t listened to in quite a
while.
Either way, they should bring you back to that place in time when you
were dancing in the rain, driving out of the city, or perhaps going
insane.
