Playlist: The Greatest Love Songs of All Time

It’s my opinion that love songs are some of the hardest creative works to do well, and they’re the most emotionally risky, too. A great love song is a conduit that can move a listener like no other. However, if you fall short, your song could end up in a sea of cheese that’s ridiculed for eons. In other words, love songs have a large risk/reward.

For this playlist, I’ve pulled together 24 love songs that span many genres. These are songs that I believe stand the test of time. Songs I don’t believe cross the threshold into tackiness. Songs that can bring great joy or sadness. The very best love songs ever written.

Happy Valentine’s Day.
