Spanning decades and genres from electro house to surf rock, there’s something here that will appeal to even the most jaded love song connoisseur. These songs encapsulate every stage of affection: the beginnings of that sweet emotion, the realization that you're addicted to love and the moment when you finally feel at home.

And remember the wise words of Ewan McGregor in “Moulin Rouge”: "Love is a many splendored thing, love lifts us up where we belong -- all you need is love!"
