Beyoncé – Halo

It’s Beyoncé’s “Halo.” It’s a song with a powerful, Beyoncé-esque melody that radiates feminine strength.

If someone like Beyoncé were to fall for you, you’d feel as if she could protect you no matter what happens—that’s how immense her power feels.

I Need To Be In LoveCarpenters

I Need To Be In Love (The Sparkle of Youth) / Carpenters

Every day is busy with work, and even on days off I’m taking classes, having lunch with friends, or going to the movies.

That kind of daily life is fun, but before you know it, you might start to feel that falling in love is a hassle—perhaps something you’ve felt at least once.

Still, I think that feeling is actually the flip side of truly wanting to fall in love.

For women like that, of course, and also for anyone who has someone they like right now, please listen while layering on the feeling that “maybe this person is my destiny!”

A woman in love might even be able to make nature her ally.

Only Girl(In the World)Rihanna
