15 Love Songs For Valentine's Day

3. Deftones €“ This Place Is Death

http://youtu.be/0m9uFX9KG_8 Now, don't let the title fool you, this is definitely a love song, and we all know that the French for orgasm translates as little death. This song is just as much about those little deaths as it is love. Throughout the song Chino Moreno sings about the perfection of the lady that he loves, and the perfection of when they come together (no pun intended) with lines like 'no one goes off in every way like you do' and 'we both erupt in colours'. Through the song Moreno describes his love arriving in his dreams every night, like every night with her is a dream, and confesses that 'no one else has a hold over me like you do.' There's no two ways about it, this song is about sex, but perhaps to sound cheesy as hell for a minute it is more about lovemaking than just simply sex. This is the woman of Moreno's dreams, his love, and his lover.

2. Bright Eyes €“ First Day Of My Life

http://youtu.be/zwFS69nA-1w This song is an unadulterated ode to love at first sight. Throughout the song Conor Oberst sings of how upon first meeting, or even just seeing, his song's subject he felt born again, as the title suggest this became the first day of his life; like nothing up to this point even mattered or happened, because it was surely nothing without her. The song is love at first sight, but also the nervousness of blossoming romance as Oberst worries about love having not worked out for him before, but none of that matters anymore because hers is the first face that he saw. The lyrics also confess to knowing that things like love take time, even if it happens at first sight, and problematic past relationships don't mean a thing as Oberst woundedly wonders 'maybe this time is different/I mean I really think you like me.'
