I mean no disrespect, but Bob Marley was wrong when he said, “One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” Music triggers a lot of emotions in us—especially when we are in love. More often than not, it can even be that little push sending us off the cliff. These songs to listen to when falling in love are exactly what you need to bring you both to another place.
Whether it feels like falling—or flying—in love, here are the top 49 songs representing different kinds of falling in love. The happy kind, the sad kind, and the in-between kind. These songs may either be songs 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.
