Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Suddenly, but have you ever experienced unrequited love?

For those who can’t help but feel a pang in their chest when they think back to those days, or for women who are currently experiencing unrequited love, this article introduces some wonderful Western songs about unrequited love.

There are many forms of unrequited love.

Whether the feelings are straightforward or complicated, artists have shared songs shaped by their own experiences.

You’re sure to find a song that resonates with your own story of unrequited love!

Please take a look.

It seems like they’re suggesting all sorts of ways to the lover who’s probably far away, pleading, “Please find a way to come see me!” It does make you wonder where the two of them even live, but those little questions are likely to be swept away by the romantic singing voice.
