Love Songs / Tunes

Valentine's Day Tunes (Love Songs)

Someone once said that, in folk music, there are three kinds of love songs - love gone good, love gone bad, and love gone sideways. Though the lyrics are often sad, and sometimes painfully so, there are some great tunes in the "bad" and "sideways" categories. The following is a sampling of the "love" songs (and tunes) on this site.
