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.

From songs that straightforwardly sing about love in the present tense to those that deftly express complex romantic feelings, and even ones that reflect on past lovers—there are many types of songs that fall under the umbrella of love songs.

It’s a timeless theme that never changes, and surely each of you has one or two favorite love songs.

This time, for those in search of yet-to-be-discovered love songs, we’re focusing on English-language love songs—selecting a wide range of notable tracks from classic favorites to the latest hits across various genres.

We also touch on the lyrics in our reviews, so you’re sure to deepen your understanding of that song you love!

It’s likely that the lyrics employ a clever technique that makes the person himself recognize that the woman he loved was being loved objectively from the perspective of a separate third party.

Adam Levine, the vocalist, is known as a ladies’ man, but he’s also experienced his share of breakups, which makes his delivery of heartbreak songs all the more emotionally stirring.
