Are these two of the best love songs of all time?? | showing vs telling in writing

[@meganmaclaine]

What songs would you add to the list?

[@August-Folklore]

My favorites are definitely “Always” by Ashe, “sweet nothing” by Taylor Swift and “Mona Lisa Mona Lisa” by FINNEAS

[@maruchita222]

Best love songs for me: Maybe I’m Amazed by Paul McCartney and Case of You by Joni Mitchell which I believe is a beautiful song depicting more complex, deep but insufficient love.

[@maruchita222]

Adding on to great love songs: You’re Still the One by Shania Twain is iconic. And “Stand by Me” by Ben E King timeless

[@deborabenficadeoliveira7969]

I think you'd love Noah Kahan's album Stick Season. The songs are heartbreakingly beautiful and full of very good metaphores and allegories. Hope you analise some of his lyrics soon

[@meganmaclaine]

I'm hoping to do some from that album soon!

[@kennedymontoya9962]

Yes! Record more videos of music that you love!

[@mathies3598]

MEGAN taylors new album is gonna be a goldmine for lyrical analysis if the name "The Tortered Poets department" anything to go by

[@meganmaclaine]

I knowwwww I'm so excited!! :D

[@gingertodger]

"How Deep is Your Love?" (Bee Gees) "Hallelujah" (Jeff Buckley version) "The Beautiful Ones" (Prince & The Revolution)

[@TTM9691]

Neither are "the best love songs of all time" (and anyway, music/the arts is not a football game!). They're classics, but I wouldn't say that's even the best love song that The Beatles ever put out (they put out many, many classic love songs. There even was a great compilation double album, "The Beatles Love Songs" in the 70s). But Cole Porter's "Every Time We Say Goodbye" or an old standard like "You Stepped Out Of A Dream"...or "Stardust"! 1964 alone had both "My Girl" AND "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" just for a start (The Beatles had "And I Love Her" and "If I Fell" the same year as well) There are a MILLION love songs, there are probably 1000 contenders tied for #1.

[@meganmaclaine]

Yeah, most songs are love songs, so too many contenders for sure! Tbh, I was surprised Something was on a lot of the lists I looked at, but once I broke down the words it made a bit more sense. Probably wouldn't make my top 5 though haha! Thanks for adding some of your favs as well ^.^

[@pastramicheesemonster4873]

I know it's a breakup song (not a love song), but Carly Simon's You're So Vain is just sooo good 😩 I'd love to see a lyric breakdown for it 👀😋

U2 - she moves in mysterious ways.

[@davidmueller9342]

Shape of you, thinking out loud, photograph can be in the same category of abstract connections.

[@leolightfellow]

Yeah, I Will Always Love You was the first one that came to mind, and I got a nice smile once I saw that was one of the two in this video. I'm trying to think of others, but all that's coming to mind are the great ones from musicals like A Whole New World, I See the Light, etc. Oh! I thought of one that's kind of a smart-alec answer (but still genuinely a magnificent song), Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder. :)

[@meganmaclaine]

Ooooh I'm very excited to get into the musical space soon :D and idk, I think Isn't She Lovely is a great love song! Doesn't have to be limited to romantic love :)
