[2025] Tear-Jerking Love Songs by Western Bands: A Roundup of Recommended Hits

Love MeNational Product

Love Me-National Product (NOT LIVE, ALBUM VERSION)

They’re a band from Hawaii, and although the vocalist has a slightly husky, masculine voice, the delicate nuances are incredibly appealing.

The lyrics of this song are, of course, great, but even if you don’t understand English, the melody and guitar phrases convey a poignant sense of longing that makes the track so compelling.

Still Loving YouScorpions

Scorpions – Still Loving You (Official Video)

They are Scorpions, a German metal band.

They have embodied the hard rock movement of the 1970s and the heavy metal movement of the 1980s.

Their genre classification varies depending on the person, but it’s fair to think of them as an LA metal or hard rock band.

Many hard rock and metal bands have released love songs, and their melodies are delicately beautiful.

Kiss MeSixpence None The Richer

Sixpence None The Richer – Kiss Me (Official HQ)

Sixpence None the Richer is a rock band formed in Texas, USA.

Their songs are sometimes used as wedding standards.

The lively intro featuring electric and acoustic guitars is great.

It seems a Japanese-language version of the same song has also been released in Japan, so why not give that a listen as well?

VALENTINEMåneskin

Måneskin – VALENTINE

The song released in November 2023 by the Italian four-piece rock band Måneskin is a dramatic rock ballad that poignantly sings of aching love.

The protagonist’s feelings—hopelessly devoted to the other person—resonate deeply alongside the lyrical melody.

Released as the second single from the album ‘Rush! (Are U Coming?)’, it also drew attention for its striking black-and-white music video.

Brimming with Måneskin’s appeal, this track is one that stays close to the hearts of those troubled by love.

It might be nice to listen to it with someone special and reaffirm each other’s feelings.

Now Is The HourThe 1975

Now Is The Hour (The New Look: Season 1 (Apple TV+ Original Series Soundtrack))

A gem of a love song that sings of deep feelings for a lover far away.

The 1975’s Matty Healy delivers an expressively rich vocal performance that beautifully captures the ache of parting and the hope of reunion.

Released in February 2024 as part of the Apple TV+ drama The New Look’s soundtrack, the piece perfectly complements a story set in the post–World War II fashion world.

Its production, which rekindles the allure of live instrumentation, is striking, wrapping listeners in a comforting warmth.

A track that resonates with anyone who has experienced long-distance love or a breakup.

Highly recommended for those who can relate to the resolve of believing in a reunion and waiting for it.
