Hey! I think is one very important missing: Plain white T’s Delilah… that songs bring tears to my eyes once in a while
Kellie
Good list but I woulnt call “sometime around midnight” a song about falling in love. He is expressing deep sorrow and pining over an ex he sees at a bar with someone else.
Ryleigh
Agreed about “Sometime Around Midnight.” Same with “Your Ex-lover is Dead”.. hardly a song about falling or being in love.
Bri
Wow i am impressed this is the first CF playlist where i don’t have ALL of the songs included. If you couldn’t tell i am a music buff! lol. My favorite bands are dcfc, dave matthews band, florence and the machine and coldplay. But i love keane, snow patrol and aqua lung also. All of these songs are so beautiful. My favorite by far. Thanks so much. I would include if this is love by train or drop of jupiter.
Bri
ohh and us by regina spektor.
Katie
Your ex-lover is dead is TOTALLY a love song! I love it, it makes me want to cry! :)
Morgan
It’s amazing how these playlists NEVER include country music. Talk about a bunch of love songs that were completely skipped over!
Millie
So glad you didn’t include any awful, poorly written and poorly sung Taylor Swift songs! Phew!
On the other hand, Somewhere Only We Know by Keane is NOT love song, a happy one anyway. It’s all about woeful reminiscing and very depressing if you actually read the lyrics.
Check out “I Just Do” by Dear And The Headlights. Now THAT’S a well written and easily understood song about falling in love and all its awkwardness.
Sarah
I love all the songs on this playlist. and I love how you included Parachute! They are my guilty pleasure!
Once change though. For DMB I think “You and Me” is an amazing love song! But good playlist overall!
Cara
“Friday, I’m in Love”!! Such a classic. Is there anything else so expressive of the joy and the carefree, fearless nature of late summer and young love? You have impeccable taste!
Priya
The Cure’s Friday I’m in Love is such a happy tune! And of course Parachute are just beautiful! This is a varied mix and I love love love it! I am in love with this playlist, nice job! :)
Rae
Not to be the cynic, but if we’ve already had a list of love songs, isn’t it time for a list of single and fabulous songs?
Ella
I have to agree with Rae… right now I’m in love and have a relationship with an awesome guy but when I was alone I needed something to hear that made me feel ok with the fact that I was single… something like PCD’s I don’t need a man or something like that…
Stephanie
oh my god, Annuals are on here. I love you.
Vivi
I love these playlists. Can we have a playlist for the first day of school, move in day, or first party in the dorms? :)
M
pretty good list. except ants marching by dmb is not a love song — it’s about conformity. also good love songs: “this year’s love” by david gray, “the book of love” by peter gabriel, and “you and me” by dave matthews band. and i totally agree with Bri — “us” by regina spektor is beautiful. good job though!
Laura
[insert entire (500) days of summer soundtrack here]
:)
Annie
I agree, Plain White T’s Delilah should be on the list..it such a sweet song. And i’m surprised Love Story by Taylor Swift isn’t mentioned either..i’m not really a fan of hers, but I still love that song :)
Allison
What a great playlist! I’m a long time CF reader and Ive recently started an internship and we were thinking of doing a playlist like this to promote an upcoming music festival in our area. How do you play the entire song on your site? Is it streamed from a host site or do you host it yourselves?
Thanks so much!!!

Allison- I use playlist.com to create the playlists every week. It is free and you can search for songs to include on your playlist on their website.
Good luck with your internship!
