minus-squareRememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·edit-21 day agoWas thinking about this the other day for a modern song that has really stuck around. Not a power ballad or a big rock song by any stretch, but: Fade Into You - Mazzy Star Late edit: these, too: What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright’s version of Cohen’s original Somewhere Over the Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwoʻole

It seems to me that there aren’t many new, heart-felt love songs like this one anymore - not the over the top flashy ones, but rather those with a down-to-earth, relatable charm.
