Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

Suddenly, but have you ever experienced unrequited love?

There are many forms of unrequited love.

Whether the feelings are straightforward or complicated, artists have shared songs shaped by their own experiences.

You’re sure to find a song that resonates with your own story of unrequited love!

LANA DEL REY- BORN TO DIE

Born to DieLana Del Rey

This song strings together some rather puzzling pick-up lines—like asking, “You like girls who kiss in a pouring rainstorm, don’t you?”—to seduce the other person.

The music video is also a must-see, packed with Lana Del Rey’s slightly headstrong charm as she tries to win over the one she’s got a crush on.

This song, actually sung by actress Audrey Hepburn in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
