The band with the coolest name in the world gave us in 2012 a great album called Arrow. And in that material, one of the ideal songs for cheer up or give yourself a chance to get back into a relationship loving.

“Hit” by The Sugarcubes, one of our favorite songs to believe in love
One day you’re out there, having a good time on your own without anyone bothering you and enjoying not having a romantic commitment to anyone… but suddenly, without you expecting it, someone comes to fall in love like crazy.
Let’s face it: a sudden love also has its charm, especially when the idea of getting involved with someone sentimentally did not cross your mind in any way. Well, more or less that’s where this roll of The Sugarcubes called “Hit”, thrown in the Stick Around For Joy from 1992.
“This wasn’t supposed to happen/I was fine on my own/You accidentally seduced me/I fell in love again“ are some of the verses in which the protagonist tells us, bluntly, that sometimes inexplicable feeling of having fallen into the clutches of love. As always, Björk breaking it when it comes to making songs to believe in love.
“I Love You, Honeybear” de Father John Misty es pura ternura
This song is the example of how to be ultra cheesy in the rawest way possible. Yeah, that might sound like it doesn’t make sense, but Father John Misty He has managed to project it perfectly with that great song from the self-titled album released in 2015.
Here is a mastery of the composer when it comes to combining concepts as sweet as saying to your loved one “bear/honey”, with the use of a narrative that is even dystopian in verses like “Fuck the world… it’s you with whom I want to see the ship sink…as the global market collapses and death fills the streets…“. Misty really looked inspired, huh.
In this commitment to ‘pessimistic poetry’Joshua Tillman -real name of the musician- even makes references to how people project certain behaviors inherited from their fathers and mothers into love. But it ends with a “Don’t give up, everything will be fine, because I love you”. A song to believe in love that you would not dedicate to just anyone.

“Lago en el cielo” by Gustavo Cerati is the song to believe in love again par excellence
Always you, Gustavo Cerati... the Argentine idol liked to play with metaphors in his songs and “Lake in the sky” is no exception. And the way in which he handled the theme and the lyrics of this great song is very beautiful.
The song fits perfectly with that feeling of fear of loving again. To understand that after a bad experience, it is not easy to open up again: “I know by your marks how much you have loved, more than you promised” how much our dear Gus.
But he himself gives us verses about understanding, going slowly, being patient, understanding the person you love if they come from that not so pleasant experience. To let your love interest know that you will heal his wounds and that you will do the impossible for him. “make you feel something you never felt” (that is, an intense and different love).

It is also subject to some interpretations. The song also seems to talk about someone telling a possible ex-partner how much he misses her and how much he still loves her. The second line of verses is proof:
“When we were strangers I watched you from afar
When we were lovers, I loved you with all my heart
I know it’s getting late and the moon is rising
I want to celebrate, see her shining in the night”
In the end, as we said, everything is a matter of perspective. But there is no doubt that “Harvest Moon” through its sound and lyrics, expresses how incredibly in love one can feel. “Because i’m still in love with you, i want to see you dance again…”. Pure romance in a song that will make you believe in love without a doubt.

This song is from 2021 and its eighties wave caught us so much that we added it to our list of the best songs of that year. And the truth is that he Jubilee from Japanese Breakfast is a great album.
“Be Sweet” was the cover letter for that material and beyond that undeniable essence of the 80s, it is a very fun song with a romantic background about open up to the trust of a new love.

“Gold” by Chet Faker with a relaxed and sensual flow
The charm of this song by Chet Faker lies in the fact that it talks about feeling that one falls in love and that there is no going back. But there is a difference from other songs on this list, which have an undeniable sweet and tender sound, “Gold” sounds like a blues loaded with a trip-hop wave.

“Mrs.” by Leon Bridges is soul with classic overtones in a song to believe in love again
The school of new soul has in Leon Bridges to one of its best composers today and even a hopeless romantic, if it’s fair to say so. The proof? This song called “Mrs” with which they will believe in love again.
Under his soft instrumental, Leon tells us about a person whom he considers the love of his life. But in this tender song, he also mentions that the relationship is not perfect, that from time to time there are fights or disagreements and Things obviously change over time.
But the magic of the song is that it doesn’t say it in a tragic or sad context, but uses that to remind you that it’s always worth it to settle differences with being loved because “If we make it, if we do it right, we’ll be together for life.”“.
And the narrative that Bridges uses is beautiful, because it says things like Sometimes I wonder why I knock on your door“…and immediately throws out a honeyed verse where he remembers how good it felt to meet that person.
