Intro: FG Magazine Valentine's Day Issue
Everyone seems to have a favorite love song. Music or lyrics that remind them of a time, place or person that brings up an emotional feeling that lives deep within them. A teenage can listen to Etta James' "At Last" and obsess over the boy they sit across from in math class, while a man in his 80s can listen to the same song and reminisce about the last 40 years spent with his partner. However different the lives of the listeners may be, each person defines and feels the song in their own way. Love songs are inescapable. Each one is different, and yet, exactly the same. Some are gleeful, others more poignant, but each pulls at our heart strings.
A vast collection of songs begs the question, "Which is your favorite? This is what FG Magazine asked some of our favorite people. Their replies were as varied as their life experiences--evidence that truly great love songs come in all shapes and sizes, but share in common the characteristic of making the listener simultaneously feel less alone in their experience of love and as though the song could have only been written for them.
