Let Love In: Goo Goo Dolls: As I am listening to this song now I can only think of Frozen! But then on to something more mature... I think there comes a point in many peoples lives where they have to make that choice to let love in, to set aside their cynicism. I think that was me, I had become quite jaded as I had been in the dating world and graduated from college without getting married or having met someone to marry, and when I moved to Utah and met Harrison, it took me a bit, but then I finally let love in, and now I can't stop saying it! So, this song turned my quite deep. 3 Stars.
Love Just Is: Hilary Duff: Don't just me! This happens to be the only H artist with a song about Love... hahaha This is a pretty good Viennese Waltz song, it is floaty and soft, makes me see pink curtains blowing in the wind with way too much smoke on the ground, swirling around and just being happy. As cheesy as this song is, it is true, Love just Is. Sometimes you can't explain it! 2 Stars.
While We're In Love: Ivy: I always forget how much I love Ivy until I hear them randomly on shuffle. I love how their music sounds so effortless, it has always made me think of how music would sound like underwater. It is soft and rolls together so easily. This song is actually kind of somber and sad, I think it fits when you're in a relationship that you know is not going to last, but you still enjoy it well enough and don't want to do anything to change it. 3 Stars.
Oh My Love: John Lennon. 5 STARS. Maybe 85, I LOVE THIS SONG. I have loved it ever since I saw Heartbreakers (which is easily one of my most favorite movies), and I just can't get over how incredible this song is. It is so sweet and honest. Here is a clip of the song with the movie. I may have wanted a shorter wedding dress because of this movie... Anywho, this song is just intoxicating to me, I love everything about it.
Someone To Love: Kate Earl: this song is a great blend of sadness, her sweet voice, the orchestra... it is just simple and beautiful. 3 Stars.
My Love Follows You Where You Go: Lori McKenna: As I am listening to this song, I don't think it is about a stalker... but I think it raises the question, when you love someone and the relationship ends, does that love end? Or does that person take what love you had given them with them? Her voice is a nice blend of a country singer, folky sound, and just deep and cuts into you. 4 Stars.
Mestizos Love Song: Mêlée: I think I realized how true this song was in 2007, twice. I remember finally ending things between one guy I had dated, moving to California for my internship, and running in the park near my apartment to this whole album, but especially this song. Realizing that someone never loved you like they said they did is a hard thing. I learned it again later that year when I dated someone else who ended up cheating on me, he also did not love me like he said he did. This song is a great mix of anger and being well worded. 3 Stars.
I Need Love: NSync: Obvious choice right? In the fall of 2004, Sarah and I embarked on BYU-Idaho. We listened to Nsync all the time, mixed with some Yellowcard and Ashlee Simpson. We occasionally would run into our roommate Emmalee's room, and serenade her with out lipsyncing and sweet dance moves to any song from this NSync album. This song is so terrible, and so great. 1 Star. I can't get rid of this one. It is perfect for road trips.
Love Love Love: Of Monsters and Men: this is a soft and kind of sad song. It is mellow and doesn't stick out too much for me. Deleted.
She Is Love: Parachute: It's a nice and sweet song, I like this guys voice. I decided I like the full band version of this song better than the other, it adds another element to the song that gives it more depth. 1 Star.
Crazy Little Thing Called Love: Queen: Great upbeat song, makes you want to snap along and sway. and I always whip my head when the music drops out for a second. My mom has always wanted me to do a dance to this song. 3 Stars.
Be Be Your Love: Rachael Yamagata: I remember hearing this song first from So You Think You Can Dance. I loved it then, but never remembered who is was by and wasn't able to download it. Fast forward to when Harrison and I were engaged and started sharing music (Scandalous!) that I found he had a whole album by her, and I knew it was the song because it had haunted my memory. So I snatched that up right quick! I think I actually prefer her live version more than the studio one, but both are good. It is a romantic and sad song, hauntingly beautiful and filled with emotion. I think the song does go on a little too long and ends a little crazy. 3 Stars.
Elevator Love Letter: Stars: Oh how I love this song. "Her heels so high, my hopes so low" Great lyrics. Great voices. I loved this band for a few years before I finally heard this song. This song also makes me think of Grey's Anatomy, and all of the Elevator scenes. 5 Stars.
If It's Love: Train: I hated Train for a long time, but Harrison really likes them and I have grown into them a little more. This song overall is pretty catchy and fun, but he has some really strange beliefs that he puts into his music... I want to buy you everything except cologne cause it's poison? ....weird. 2 stars.
DJ Got Us Fallin In Love: Usher: Just a fun club song. Makes me think of every dance movie, meet in a club, tragic thing, end in love. In defense of that though, I did fall in love with Lee, a Welsh/English Salsa dancer in Chester England, oh dang he smelled SO GOOD. And he was a great lead, such a fun partner. I went twice just to dance with him and I was only in Chester for like a week. haha! 1 Star. (not my favorite Usher song)
This Love: The Veronicas: Yeah, I forgot that I had this song. It is dripping with teenage angst and lust. I am over this song for sure. Deleted.
I Will Always Love You: Whitney Houston: Duh! So I remember being younger and this song coming out, and boy did I belt it out any chance I got... and I told people that my middle name was Whitney so it was like I wrote the song. It is a classic. 3 Stars.
Forward to Love: Ziggy Marley: This is a great reggae song, you start groovin along. I am not a huge reggae fan, but I like this one because it makes me feel like it is a perfectly warm summer night, eating some food outside with a nice breeze, enjoying the company of friends and good music. 3 Stars.
California Love: 2Pac: I wouldn't feel right if I didn't include this song! It is funky and fun, perfect for road trips and cranking the volume up and the windows down, makes you want to wave your arm out the window like you're flying... 2 Stars
