Saturday Night Live in the 2000s: Time and Again

Picture this: You've orchestrated the perfect at-dwelling house date for your meaning other, featuring candles, wine, and a lovingly home-cooked (or lovingly ordered via app) dinner. Merely just equally your person texts yous that they're on their fashion, you realize that you have no idea what sort of music to play to retain the romantic ambience. Afterwards all, you can't have your early 2000s guilty pleasure songs come up on shuffle while yous're trying to stare lovingly into your partner's eyes (goose egg ruins the mood similar the distinctive "youuuuuu" at the beginning of "Soulja Boy." And yes, that instance is based on a true story).

Anyway, I've got you covered with my listing of the most beautiful, hopeful, and achingly romantic songs ever written (in my humble stance). You'll have your crush/partner/Bumble date swooning.

"ROS" - Mac Miller

Most romantic lyrics: "I'm in your heart, I'g in your dream/ Then fuck the globe it'due south you and me"

Rationale: When the outside globe becomes fell, many couples plough inward and develop that us-against-the-world mindset. In "ROS," Mac Miller captures what it's like to feel shut to someone, spending much of this song describing the little things he loves most his partner, like her "stained drinking glass" eyes, butterscotch-scented peel, and kiwi-flavored lips. The lyrics are intimate in every manner, and Mac delivers them with his feature rawness.

"These Arms of Mine" - Otis Redding

Most romantic lyrics: "These arms of mine, they are lonely/ Lone and feeling blue/ These arms of mine, they are yearning/ Yearning from wanting you"

Rationale: This song hits me right in the chest. It'south impossible not to feel your artillery and chest aching like Reddings' when he sings about called-for to hold his lover. The music crescendos around his polish voice every bit he begs,  "And if you would permit them hold y'all/ Oh, how grateful I would exist." It's such a sweet, earnest plea for love, and its focus on physicality is pretty sexy, too.

"Ex Factor" - Lauryn Hill

Nigh romantic lyrics: "See, no ane loves y'all more me/ and no one always volition"

Rationale: No one knows how to obliterate me emotionally quite like Lauryn Hill does. In "Ex Factor" (and on this whole album, let's be real), she's vulnerable, baring all her devotion to her boyfriend. We recognize straightaway that her relationship is toxic, but Hill's honesty is and so cute that we humble listeners have no choice merely to sit, transfixed, and mind.

"Skinny Beloved" - Bon Iver

Most romantic lyrics: "Told my honey to wreck it all/ Cut out all the ropes and allow me fall"

Rationale: When this song came out in 2007, I was in middle schoolhouse. I could non cease singing it as I traipsed through my house, near-tears as I crooned nigh "the sink of blood and crushed veneer," as though my twelve years on earth had been rife with tragic love diplomacy.

Nevertheless, this song still holds up. Bon Iver is a master at depicting what it's similar to fully surrender yourself to someone while aware that they may hurt you in the end. I still sing this song while I lounge around my little studio flat, drawing on existent-life experiences this time, though I assure yous that none of them involved blood-filled sinks or crushed veneers.

"Leather and Lace" - Stevie Nicks & Don Henley

Almost romantic lyrics: "Lovers forever, face to face/ My city, your mountains/ Stay with me, stay/ I demand you to dear me/ I demand yous today/ Give me to me your leather, accept from me my lace"

Rationale: This is Stevie Nicks' lyricism at its most poignant. She wrote "Leather and Lace" herself so performed it with Don Henley (of The Eagles) while they were dating. This duet is beautiful in and of itself, but their chemistry and passion for each other makes it all the more than impactful. An ex played this for me once, unprompted, and I remember thinking, My God, dude. Why would you practice this to me?

Wrecked.

The Fashion You Look Tonight" - Frank Sinatra

About romantic lyrics: "Lovely, never, never change/ continue that breathless charm/ won't you please arrange it?/ 'Cause I love yous/ Only the way you await this evening"

Rationale: Ah, yes. The song that plays at every wedding on earth. Popular songs are popular for a reason, though, and this one endures considering of the accepting, unconditional sort of beloved that information technology depicts. In improver to Sinatra's version, I'm also partial to Fred Astaire's rendition in the 1936 film Swing Time and the sweet yet natural language-in-cheek visuals go along with information technology.

"Everlasting Low-cal" - The Black Keys

Most romantic lyrics: "Permit me be your everlasting lite/ Your railroad train going away from pain/ Love is the coal that makes this train gyre/ Let me be your everlasting light"

Rationale: If you read the lyrics without the music, the whole vocal sounds kind of like a late nineteenth century poem. The love in this song is then pure and hopeful, and you'll definitely gain cool-points by playing The Black Keys on a first date.

"To Know Him Is To Love Him" - Amy Winehouse

Most romantic lyrics: "To know, know, know him/ Is to dear, love, love him/ Simply to see that smile/ Makes my life worthwhile"

Rationale: No 1 does unbridled love like Amy Winehouse. Her soulful vox takes center phase in this Phil Spector cover, and if yous're not already in honey, it will make you want to be.

"Like Real People Practise" - Hozier

Virtually romantic lyrics: "I will not ask you lot where you came from/ I will non enquire you, neither should you/ Honey, merely put your sweet lips on my lips/ Nosotros should just kiss similar existent people do"

Rationale: Here, Hozier is trying to convince his love interest to forget that they both have pasts (who doesn't?) and to just love him. There'south a sense that both people in the song consider themselves odd in some way (once again, who doesn't?), and that they've been searching for partners like each other for ages. "Like Real People Practice" reminds us of how miraculous it feels to honey and exist loved dorsum.

"Can't Have My Eyes Off You" - Franki Valli & The Four Seasons

About romantic lyrics: "Yous're just too good to be true/ Can't have my optics off of y'all/ You'd be like sky to touch/ I wanna concur you so much"

Rationale: To quote every Boomer from my dwelling state of New Jersey: They just don't make 'em like this anymore. And it's true―this song manages to rest emotional and sexual yearning without being rough.

And just... the gratitude Valli feels when he sings about loving his girl so much that he thanks God he'south alive. My Lord. They really but do not brand 'em quite like this anymore.

"Forrest Gump" - Frank Ocean

Most romantic lyrics: "My fingertips and my lips/ They burn down from the cigarettes/ Forrest Gump, you run my mind, boy/ Running on my mind, boy"

Rationale: This is Frank Ocean'southward most criminally underrated song and I will fight anyone who has anything negative to say about information technology. In fact, I in one case made a very loud, spirited defence force of this song when I was in loftier school, correct afterwards Body of water'southward sick-received performance of it at the 2013 Grammys.

The vocal is told from the perspective of Jenny in the 1994 film Forrest Gump. It'due south near a cleaved, tired person coming dorsum to their pure, enduring love afterward a great deal of fourth dimension has passed. It's especially meaningful, in my opinion, because Ocean penned the song in the wake of his very public coming-out.

"Take Me The Way I Am" - Ingrid Michaelson

About romantic lyrics: "'Cause I love you more than I could ever promise/ And you take me the way I am"

Rationale: What a throwback! Ingrid Michaelson was responsible for some of the sweetest manic-pixie-dream-girl love songs of the early 2000s, and this one was her virtually popular. Michaelson rejoices in having institute a partner who loves her, flaws and all, and she responds in kind, promising to repair what her partner breaks and buy him Rogaine when his hair starts falling out. Information technology'due south a promise to love someone forever.

"I'one thousand Non Dead" - P!nk

Most romantic lyrics: "Right beyond the cigarette and the devilish grinning/You're my crack of sunlight/ Y'all can do the math a grand means/ But y'all tin can't erase the facts/ That others come and others get/ But you ever come back"

Rationale: This is my favorite era of P!nk's music. In "I'm Non Dead," she writes a frank, unapologetic love song about being a flawed human securely in beloved with another flawed human. Waxing poetic about her and her boyfriend's (her future husband, Cary Hart, by the way) tattoos and alluding to her own mental affliction, P!nk eschews all tired clichés about love in favor of something far more than accurate and affecting.

"Hannah Hunt" - Vampire Weekend

Almost romantic lyrics: "A man of faith said hidden eyes could come across what I was thinkin'/ I just smiled and told him/ That was merely true of Hannah"

Rationale: Oh, Ezra Koenig, how you wound me with your beautiful words! In this song, our narrator seems to be moving around the U.S. with his love Hannah until she grows homesick for the eastward coast. Having lived in New England for around vii years, I'm partial to this vocal for its "freezing beaches" references, but it's also a gentle tribute to the fashion time glides away when you're with someone you dear.

"A Song For You" - Donny Hathaway

Nigh romantic lyrics: "I love yous in a place/ Where there's no space or fourth dimension/ I dearest you for my life/ Y'all're a friend of mine/ And when my life is over/ Retrieve when nosotros were together"

Rationale: In that location have been many versions of this song, merely this 1's my favorite. Information technology was also Amy Winehouse's favorite. Donny Hathaway sings this with such feeling that 1 tin can't assist but feel he's reciting a memoir when he sings his amends to a woman he neglected to settle downward with because he was too busy performing around the world.

"Maps" - Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Most romantic lyrics: "Don't devious/ My kind'due south your kind/ I'll stay the aforementioned."

Rationale: Yeah, this song is ninety percent but Karen O singing "Wait, they don't love you lot like I love you," but it's so powerful! If you say something the right way, and the accompanying music is skilful enough, there's no need to embellish much more than. Proof: Beyoncé clearly nods to this song in her 2016 unmarried "Hold Up." "Maps" endures, over a decade later on, beyond genres.

"If I Ain't Got Yous" - Alicia Keys

About romantic lyrics: "Some people desire diamond rings/ Some just want everything/ But everything means zip/ If I own't got you"

Rationale: This song is all the more touching when you recall that she wrote it just as she was beginning to get famous. She promises that her renown―the fruit of all her labor―along with promises of riches, jewelry, or endless life would all mean goose egg if she didn't have her man.

"Pine Tree Lines" - Told Slant

Most romantic lines: "I am the daughter my parents fabricated/ Why don't yous love me anyway/ 'Cause I beloved the way y'all take up space"

Rationale: Devastating genius. Lead singer Felix Walworth delivers this song so earnestly that his voice literally cracks during that concluding line. I've never heard a simpler or more startlingly accurate depiction of adoration than loving the way someone takes up space.

"Inevitable" - Shakira

Most romantic lyrics: "To exist even more honest/ No one thinks about you/ The way I do" (Translated from Spanish)

Rationale: Shakira spends most of this vocal laying out all her imperfections―that she doesn't know how to make coffee, that she doesn't understand soccer, that she oversleeps, etc.―and and so proceeds to ask her homo to love her anyway.

"I Found You" - Alabama Shakes

Most romantic lyrics: "I recollect all them alone days/ I traveled out on my ain/ Then you brought me everything/ You made my house a habitation"

Rationale: This is a celebration of finally finding your person. And so who better to listen to it with than your person? Romantic, indeed.

"Rag Doll" - Franki Valli & The Four Seasons

Most romantic lines: "I'd change her sad rags/ Into glad rags if I could/ My folks won't permit me/ 'Crusade they say that she's no good."

Rationale: Another Iv Seasons vocal, yes. I'grand from Jersey. Sue me.

Franki Valli declares his unconditional love for a girl much poorer than he is, fantasizing nigh replacing her tattered clothes with lace and finery. In spite of her poverty, he ends the song by crying, "I dearest y'all just the way you are."

He wants to requite everything to someone who tin offer him nothing material. All he wants is her.

"Since I've Been Loving You" - Led Zeppelin

Nearly romantic lyrics: "But baby, since I've been loving you lot, yeah/ I'm well-nigh to lose my worried mind/ Oh, aye"

Rationale: Man, these lyrics look so underwhelming when written downwards sans musical accessory. It's tragic.

What makes this song so romantic, to me, is the organ and bass work by John Paul Jones pair with Robert Plant'south searing vocals. It'southward a power dejection song that hits you right in the gut. If desperate desire were a sound, this would be information technology.

"You lot Got Me" - Erykah Badu and The Roots

Nigh romantic lines: "If you don't worry 'bout where/ I been or who I saw  or/ What order I went to with my homies/ Baby, don't worry, you know that yous got me"

Rationale: I cried when I saw this live. Erykah reassures her boyfriend during the chorus that she'll ever be loyal to him, while Blackness Thought (atomic number 82 MC of The Roots) uses his verses to tell the story of a lifelong romance. Information technology's the all-time dear song in hip hop, hands down.

"(Y'all Make Me Feel Similar) A Natural Woman - Aretha Franklin

Nigh romantic lyrics: "When my soul was in the lost and found/ You came forth to merits it/ I didn't know simply what was wrong with me/ 'Til your buss helped me name it"

Rationale: We should heal ourselves rather than look around for someone to heal us, simply that doesn't mean that love can't exist a healing experience. Information technology's actually romantic to thank someone for making y'all feel practiced, and that's precisely what this song (written by the flawless Carole King) is nearly.

"Jade" - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Most romantic lyrics: "We can't help but follow, she's Buddha, just picket her/ She moves similar an old gypsy woman but swears she'southward a girl/ And all that she asks we'll allow her/ For Jade is the daughter of the hr"

Rationale: Alex Ebert wrote this vocal for Jade Castrinos when they were both still dating and still the frontpeople of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. The song is a quiet love letter of the alphabet to Castrinos―yous could imagine Ebert singing it to her at night past the campfire while the balance of the band is asleep (that's this band's vibe, actually). Information technology's a shame that nosotros no longer go to picket the sweet relationship between these talented musicians, but at to the lowest degree we'll ever have this hippie love vocal.

"Wild Horses" - The Rolling Stones

Almost romantic lyrics: "Graceless lady/ Y'all know who I am/ Y'all know I tin can't let you lot/ Slide through my hands/ Wild horses/ Couldn't drag me away"

Rationale: One of the wildest bands of the '60s and '70s likewise happened to write one of the most poignant songs about love and devotion. This is nigh a long, deep intimacy between two people, and of being physically unable to resist the person you lot admire.

"Jim Bogart" - The Front Bottoms

Virtually romantic lyrics: "I would sleep better on your floor/ Than I would always in my bed/ And if your carpet makes my face itch/ It'd still exist heaven in my head"

Rationale: "Jim Bogart" opens with the to a higher place lyrics, sung with lead singer Brian Sella's signature raw vocals. He abandons all pride in his honey for this girl, promising to practice his guitar every nighttime, to slumber on her floor without complaint, and to to ignore his doctor's advice―all to win her love. We shouldn't have to debase ourselves for love (*rolls optics* yeah, yep aye), simply this is art. And if we're beingness honest, this sentiment is relatable for anyone who's prayed for their love to exist reciprocated.

"Loving You" - Elvis Presley

Virtually romantic lyrics: "If I'm seen with someone new/ Don't be bluish, don't you be blue/ I'll exist faithful, I'll be true/ Always truthful, true to you"

Rationale: Elvis tells his dear non to get jealous or to believe the hype around him and other women, reassuring her that she's the one for him. Although multiple sources accept claimed that Elvis did, indeed, cheat on his wife, Priscilla, this remains his sweetest love song.

"Melissa" - The Allman Brothers Band

Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "Knowing many, loving none/ Bearin' sorrow, havin' fun/ Merely back home he'll always run/ To sweet Melissa"

Rationale: Hither, the Allman Brothers sing about a traveling musician who can't get over his sweetheart no matter how many other women he meets. She always ends upward resurfacing in his listen, and eventually, he always returns to her.

"My Old Man" - Joni Mitchell

Most romantic lyrics: "He's my sunshine in the morning/ He's my fireworks at the end of the day/ He's the warmest chord I ever head/ Play that warm chord, play and stay, baby"

Rationale: Mitchell's soaring mezzo-soprano meanders through a portrait of her relationship in this song, insisting throughout that, "We don't demand no piece of newspaper from the metropolis hall." She's saying that she doesn't need external validation of the relationship―this man gives her all she needs to feel secure in their bond.

"Devil In a New Dress" - Kanye W, Rick Ross

About romantic lyrics: "Put your easily to the constellations/ The manner you look should be a sin, you my sensation"

Rationale: Kanye W is a pretty polarizing figure, but this is still 1 of my favorite albums of all time. It's a bittersweet tribute to his infamous relationship with Amber Rose, and this song encapsulates the often-sexy, ever-complicated connection betwixt two people who aren't good for each other, nonetheless can't stay abroad from one some other.

"Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop)" - Erykah Badu, Common

Nigh romantic lyrics: "But that is all behind me/ 'Crusade at present in that location is no other/ My dear is his and his is mine/ A friend became the/ Love of my life"

Rationale: Conventional advice tells us to fall in love with someone who can exist our  friend, likewise. This vocal is about ii lifelong best friends who find their style back to each other after time spent apart. With her famously beguiling voice, Erykah Badu captures the joy of being truly known by one's partner.

"A Sunday Kind of Love" - Etta James

Nigh romantic lyrics: "I want a Sunday kind of love/ A beloved to final past Saturday night/ I desire to know information technology's more than honey at commencement sight"

Rationale: We've all been at this point before. If Etta James were to have written this song today, she would take been explaining that she was sick of one-night-stands and Tinder/Bumble/Swivel dates that go nowhere. She'd be saying she was tired of sweaty strangers in bars shouting into her ear, over deafening music, asking if she wants to take a shot.

Instead, she'd want something substantial. Someone to relax and rampage Schitt'southward Creek reruns with on the weekends.

May nosotros all find that Sun kind beloved.

"She Will Exist Loved" - Maroon 5

Most romantic lyrics:"I don't mind spendin' everyday / Out on your corner in the pourin' pelting"

Rationale:I recollect listening to this song in middle school, wishing that the boy I had a trounce on would dear me enough to stand exterior my window in the rain. In hindsight, that would have been awkward and inconvenient to explicate to my mother, and these days I would probably find such behavior creepy (when I'm in my pajamas in my flat, peacefully eating Takis and watching The Sopranos, the terminal matter I need is a man standing outside, watching me from the street like something out of The Exorcist), but the sentiment of this song however stands.

"Considering the Night" - Patti Smith

About romantic lyrics: "Come up on, now, attempt and understand/ The way I feel when I'm in your hands/ Have my hand, come clandestine/ They tin't hurt you at present"

Rationale: In this song, which was originally written by lyrical fable Bruce Springsteen, Smith promises her lover that he's safe with her.

Virtually romantic lyrics: "Wouldn't it be squeamish if we were older?/ Then nosotros wouldn't have to wait and so long"

Rationale: This is sung from the perspective of someone who's already sure about who he wants to spend the rest of his life with. And he's wishing that the rest of his life could showtime correct now.

"Stay" - Rihanna, Mikky Ekko

Most romantic lyrics: "Non really sure how to feel about it/ Somethin' in the manner you move/ Makes me experience similar I tin can't alive without yous"

Rationale: Honey isn't a formula. There's no real logic to why nosotros fall in love with some people simply non others, and Rihanna hits the blast on the head when she says it's but "something in the way [he] move[s]." It's reminiscent of The Beatles' song "Something." Speaking of which...

"Something" - The Beatles

Most romantic lyrics: "Something in the way she moves / Attracts me like no other lover / Something in the way she woos me / I don't want to leave her now"

Rationale:This song is a slow, dreamy ode on an otherwise bluesy anthology. George Harrison was the Beatle who penned it, writing that he wasn't certain what exactly triggered his love or whether it would grow.  All he knew was that the love was at that place, and that that should be enough.

"Androgynous" - The Replacements

About romantic lyrics: "And they dearest each other and so/ Androgynous/ Closer than we know, honey each other so/ Androgynous"

Rationale: This song is most ii not-binary people falling in love, which is pretty absurd for a song from 1984. Our main characters, archetypically named Dick and Jane, love each other regardless of gender. The Replacements make a compelling statement near why traditional gender roles and clothing should make no difference if you're truly in love with someone.

"I'll Be Seeing You" - Billie Holiday

Almost romantic lyrics: "I'll find you in the morning sun/ In every lovely summertime'southward day/ In everything that's right and gay/ I'll always recollect of you lot"

Rationale: You lot know when y'all're freshly in love (or heartbroken), and everything reminds you lot of that person? That'due south what this song is nearly. Everything around Holiday―the natural globe, a park, a buffet, a carousel―is a fond reminder of her beloved.

"Sunday Candy" - Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment

Well-nigh romantic lyrics: "You've got to move it slowly/ Take information technology in my body like it'south holy/ I've been waiting for you lot for the whole week/ I've been praying for yous, you're my Lord's day candy"

Rationale: The Social Experiment is the hip hop collective that boasts members such as Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa (the former of which is featured heavily on this song). Jamila Woods performs the chorus to this song and then sweetly that it's easy to forget the sexual implications, and she and Chance tell the story of a couple that spends a week at a time missing each other, captivated in thoughts of one some other until they're finally reunited.

 "Come Equally Yous Are" - Nirvana

Most romantic lyrics: "Come every bit you are/ As you were/ Every bit I want yous to exist"

Rationale: There are many interpretations of what this song means, ranging from mental wellness to friendship to commentary on inauthenticity. But, to me, "Come As You Are" works every bit the ultimate grunge love vocal; every bit a promise to love and capeesh someone but the way they are.

 "Please, Delight, Please" - James Brownish

Most romantic lyrics: "Babe please, babe please, delight me/ Baby please, baby please don't go/ Don't go, I said baby, don't baby/ I love you so"

Rationale: This vocal is near entirely comprised of James Brownish repeating "please," and, supposedly, he got a lot of flack from his producers about that before its release. Simply, like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps," this track'south magic lies in the passion with which it's delivered–and James Brown is nothing if not passionate.

 "I Volition Always Dear You" - Dolly Parton

Most romantic lyrics: "And I promise life will care for yous kind/ And I promise that you lot accept all/ That yous ever dreamed of/ Oh, I do wish you joy/ And I wish you happiness/ But above all this/ I wish you dear"

Rationale: Without a incertitude, yous're familiar with Whitney Houston's rendition of "I Will Always Honey You lot," just I love Dolly Parton's soft-spoken, land version besides. Where Houston belts, Parton croons, making this a great alternative for when y'all want to hear this song on a tranquillity evening in.

 "Songbird" - Fleetwood Mac

Most romantic lyrics: "And I wish you all the love in the world/ But most of all, I wish it from myself/ And the songbirds continue singing/ Like they know the score"

Rationale: Fleetwood Mac'south members were notorious for hooking up within their ranks, and Christine McVie (writer and primary vocalist on this song) was no exception. This is a unique love song, because it does unconditional love unlike whatever other: It illustrates how it'south entirely possible to dearest someone and want the best for them while accepting, albeit sadly, that you might not be that all-time thing.

 "First Day of My Life" - Brilliant Optics

Nearly romantic lyrics: "But I realized I need you lot/ And I wondered if I could come up home"

Rationale: This Bright Eyes track makes me wish I was ameliorate at playing guitar. Frontman Conor Oberst makes a frank plea for his beloved, telling her, "I'm glad I didn't dice before I met you," and asking for permission to approach. It's an practise in startling honesty, and the effect, like the whole album, is profound.

 "Body of water of Love" - Cat Ability

Most romantic lyrics: "Come with me, my honey/ To the bounding main, the sea of honey/ I wanna tell you/ How much I beloved you lot "

Rationale: Originally, the terminal song on this list was going to be T.I.'southward "Any Y'all Like" because I'm determined that it will play at my wedding one twenty-four hour period (I'm not kidding), but "Sea of Honey" is likewise romantic to pass up. With minimal instrumentation, Cat Power delivers a cursory just heartfelt beloved letter whose genius lies in its profound simplicity. 10/10.
