Have you ever looked back and missed someone? In those lonely hours, you relive and rewind the sweet moments you spent together -- the midnight travels, the crazy adventures and the deep conversations in twilight hours. Have you ever listened to a song that encapsulates those moments perfectly? It makes you feel nostalgic and maybe even a little sad.
Love songs have a way of triggering memories and reminding you of past loves. We've put together a list of eight love songs from both Hollywood and Bollywood that do exactly that!
1. "Tum Se Hi" from "Jab We Met"
Some songs will stay with us for years. "Tum Se Hi" was Mohit Chauhan's breakthrough song, and it is still stuck in our minds.
2. "Young and Beautiful" from "The Great Gatsby"
Some songs are extremely haunting and resonate deep within our hearts. Lana Del Rey's hit is soft and dreary -- bringing up the crazy and fun times had with a past boyfriend. It is both nostalgic and sad, because the repeating chorus deals with the lack of confidence the singer has that her relationship will be okay in the future.
3. "Yeh Dooriyan" from "Love Aaj Kal"
This heartwarming song by Mohit Chauhan is about the difficulties you go through when you have so much distance between you and the one you love. That might hit close to home for some of you -- especially if your partner is in another country.
4. "Kiss from a Rose" from "Batman Forever"
Seal's single from the third installment of the 1990s Batman series was a huge success for a reason. Although written years earlier, Seal never released the song on his own, and it was used in the movie's main love scene. "Kiss from a Rose" compares love to a drug, and the singer admits his addiction to both the power, pleasure and pain he experiences because of that love.
5. "Samjhawan" from "Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania"
The song was originally sung by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan and is one of the best love songs that makes you feel nostalgic.
6. "Love Me Like You Do" from "50 Shades of Grey"
Ellie Goulding's hit song from the first 50 Shades will make you remember falling in love for the first time. It talks about the fear of opening yourself up to a new person and how you are willing to push that aside when you are so overwhelmed with love. "Love Me Like You Do" is a popular first dance song at weddings in the US.
7. "Khuda Jaane" from "Bachan ae Haseeno"
This is one of the best romantic duets ever and highlights the desire for intimacy and the power of love.
8. "My Heart Will Go On" from "Titanic"
Some songs hold a special place in our memories, and no matter how many times we hear them, they never get old! The theme song from the movie "Titanic" centers around romance across the miles and how love defies the distance between you. "You are safe in my heart, and my heart will go on and on!"
We hope these songs bring you back to impressionable experiences and great memories. If you are looking for other love songs, check out our Pyar Cafe series where we debut fresh new artists playing original songs.
