Love
songs were among the first music lyrics composed. This musical style
did not go out of date despite being hundreds of years old. It did not
vanish, but it continue to flourish. We all enjoy listening to love
songs, be it only for the short periods we feel butterflies in our
bellies. This type of music finds millions of listening ears all over
the world and has a huge amount of fans. The most popular love songs are
the ones with the most cherished messages, the ones which can be
related to most real life stories. We all have favored songs, which we
play at weddings, which we play when we are sad, or when we are sharing a
romantic moment with our loved ones. Here are 10 awesome love songs .

top featuring love songs is complete if ‘Unchained Melody’ is not on
it! This is a tune with a long history. It was first created in 1955 by
Alex North and Hy Zaret for an obscure movie called ‘Unchained’. Little
did they know what an immense impact this song would have on many
following generations! It was named by some the best love song of the 20

century and it was produced in as many as 500 hundred different
languages. Later, the Righteous Brothers helped the song regain
popularity when they produced a version of it, in 1965. In 1977, Elvis
Presley performed it on stage just few weeks before his death, in his
last television appearance. Closer to our times, in 2002, ‘Unchained
Melody’ came once again in the spotlight as the first release of pop
idol Gareth Gates.

just can’t stop loving you’ is a ballad performed by the late Michael
Jackson in duet with Siedah Garrett. It was released in 1987 and it

“sequel” to the song, entitled “I Will Always Be Missing You.
9. Carry my love
Sarah
Geronimo is a Pilipino singer who recorded this tune in 2007. Elected
by the listeners as one of the best love songs of all times,’ Carry my
love’ is the righteous successor of all the classic love songs

powerful, moving melody.
10. Crazy for you
Recorded
for a 1985 movie, ‘Vision Quest’, this awesome love song was performed
by Madonna, the world wide famous singer, who is as eternal as her
songs. Initially, Warner Bros. Records did not want to release ‘Crazy
for you’ as a single, because they thought it would take the attention
away from the hit ‘Like a virgin’. Eventually, the single was released
and it opened a new musical path for Madonna, who had never before tried
to sing love ballads. Apparently, fans appreciated the change and this
song became one of the best of the year, ranking first in tops for
several weeks, in countries such as Australia or Canada, and second in
USA, England, Ireland and New Zeeland.
