Love in Lyrics: 7 Love Songs you Might Like

The Ancient Greek have four words for love. Eros, Agape, Philia, and Storge. All with different, yet similar meanings. Agape, refers to a general affection or "true love" as you might have for a parent or sibling. Eros speaks to the passionate love. Passionate in the sense of longing, or aspiration. You want it, and you have to have it. (Not necessarily sexual.) Then there's Philia. Philia translates to friendship in modern Greek. Think Cory and Shaun from Boy Meets World. Finally, there's Storge, which refers to kind of love that a parent has for their child.

This is not a list of "Love songs" in the traditional sense, but of a more liberal perspective. Have a listen, and see what you think.

1.) Lupe Fiasco - Paris, Tokyo, The Cool

One of my favorite love songs of all time.

2.) John Mayer - Daughters, Heavier Things

Love for a daughter is something that I don't know much about, but I imagine it's pretty powerful.

"I Love New York", as the old saying goes.

4.) Boys II Men - A Song for Mama, Evolution

It's truly amazing to be able to feel a mothers love. Classic song.
