Que romantica.

So...I was listening to Owl City and one of their songs hit me (just like a ton of bricks). It was so completely romantic and I swear I almost started crying. And yes, I am aware that I blog about love and lovey dovey things and mushy gushy stuff a lot, but I don't care. I love writing about love. So bite me. Here's a list of the most romantic songs I've ever heard:

1) The Luckiest. Ben Folds.

His voice is just so darn cute in this song! And that combined with the piano...it's just perfect. And it's so honest. He's the luckiest because he has her. [sigh] That is beautiful.
I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you.


2) Better Together. Jack Johnson.

Listening to this song is like being serenaded on the beach. It's so happy!
And when I wake up, you look so pretty sleeping next to me.

3) Oh, It is Love. Hellogoodbye.

When I hear this song I picture a boy and a girl dancing under the stars surrounded by fireflies in the middle of a meadow. Yep.
Oh dear, it's been hardly a moment and you are already missed.


4) I'd Rather Be With You. Joshua Radin.

Ohhh Joshua Radin. He is fantastic. And this song is great because it sums up everything you feel when you're in love: all you want to do is be with that person.
You're the one thing I am missing here. With you beside me, I no longer fear.

5) All I Ask of You. Phantom of the Opera.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vec3bmdFkOg
Okay, so I can't stand Raul, but I have to admit that this song is possibly the most romantic moment in a musical ever. Let me set the stage for you. Christine is like "Ahh! We have to get out of here cuz the Phantom is after me!" and Raul is like "Oh gosh, she's nuts. Let me distract her with my alluring voice." And then. He tells her that everything is going to be okay, and she feels safe and happy. It's a lovely moment.
-Say you love me. 
-You know I do.

6) Your Song. Moulin Rouge.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Esb21zY6BNM
Ewan McGregor is the perfect man. I am convinced. His smile! It kills me. And his voice! It makes me want to take a bath in it. And this song is so beautiful because it's so simple and charming. And of course, Nicole Kidman falls for him. How could she not?
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words how wonderful life is now you're in the world.

7) Technicolor Phase. Owl City.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y9i_m0AdXrg
Now, this is not a conventional romantic song. But seriously the words are so amazing. He's telling her that he wants to be with her always, everywhere she goes. Some parts sound kinda creepy at first, but basically it's just really sweet.
You can go anywhere you wish, cuz I'll be there wherever you are.

8) Better Part of Me. Tyler Burkum.
bah! Couldn't find a video. I'll hook you up if you're interested ;)
Okay so I've had this song for like 5 years. And I had no idea how great it is until like a month ago. I totally see this being a song you'd play while driving down the highway holding hands with the windows down on a sunny day. It's all about bringing out the best in each other and loving each other no matter what.
I know this love will see us through when seas get rough. Oh I won't give up.

9) Everything. Michael Buble.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPUJIbXN0WY
Greatest song ever written. That is all.
And in this crazy life and in these crazy times, it's you, it's you. You make me sing.

10) Can't Help Falling in Love. Ingrid Michaelson.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4LlyhrLEuI
Classic. Gives me chills and makes me tear up every single time. This WILL be my first dance at my wedding.
Like a river flows, surely to the sea. Darling so it goes, some things are meant to be.
