Billy Joel – Just the Way You Are (Official Audio)

Singer-songwriter Billy Joel from New York.

Isn’t it the ultimate love song that tells you, “You don’t have to make witty conversation, and you don’t need to wear trendy clothes.

You’re most wonderful just the way you are”? The anecdote that the melody came to him in a dream is romantic, too.

This track is a single from the classic 1977 album The Stranger, and at first it was nearly left off because it didn’t seem to fit the album.

However, it went on to earn two Grammys in 1979.

The sound of the warm Fender Rhodes blending with the sweet saxophone gently colors the time you spend with someone special.

Alessia Cara – Out Of Love

If you’re looking for a heartbreaking breakup song, I recommend “Out of Love.” It’s a song that captures the sorrow of a woman who won’t try to stop a breakup that’s about to happen.

It even includes the desire to know when the other person’s feelings faded, despite choosing not to hold them back.

The lyrics are incredibly poignant, aren’t they? Alessia Cara wrote this song when she was 22, and creating something like this at that age really shows her talent.

You Know I’m No GoodAmy Winehouse55rank/position

Amy Winehouse – You Know I’m No Good

Knowing she’s a flawed woman, she still betrays her faithful partner.

Sung by England’s Amy Winehouse, it’s a story of a self-destructive love.

Featured on the landmark album Back to Black, the song vividly portrays, in her deep, soulful voice, the turmoil of a woman who keeps repeating her mistakes over a retro soul sound.

Even with a good person by her side, she can’t resist a dangerous allure—perhaps one of love’s bewitching facets.

The legendary performance when she won five Grammys in February 2008 also speaks to the song’s appeal.

It’s a track that tightens the chest with the weight of a love you can’t stop, even when you know it will hurt you.
