Love songs that don't sound explicitly romantic

[(Anonymous)]

I've been trying to find some songs to go with multiple different relationships in my fanmix, and while I found some great songs for my OTP and for another romantic relationship, there are a bunch of cool friendships that are also interesting, but jesus fuck, good non-romantic songs about another person/relationship are ridiculously hard to find.

Any recs?

Nothing Else Matters by Metallica? http://youtu.be/tAGnKpE4NCI It could totally work for a close friendship (or family).


Found more!
Can't Pretend by Tom Odell http://youtu.be/B4-OxOmsqR0
The Story bt Brandi Carlile might work http://youtu.be/o8pQLtHTPaI

I've had the same problem.

- "This Used to Be My Playground" by Madonna is good, except it's a little sad.

- "All You Wanted" and "You Get Me" by Michelle Branch both work.

- "I'm With You" by Avril Lavigne. Don't laugh, it's underrated.

C'est La Mort by the Civil Wars. It's about being endlessly devoted to each other, but there's nothing specific about it being romantic love.

I have a few! A couple of these sound like maybe they were kinda trying to be romantic songs, but they all feel more friend-y to me.

Hey Brother - Avicii
On Top of the World - Imagine Dragons
Against History - Dan Wilson
You Told the Drunks I Knew Karate - Zoey Van Goey
Comfort - Carbon Leaf
Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon and Garfunkel

I think there are some good ones I'm forgetting; I'll come back later if any more occur.

I don't really know how you differentiate "romantic" and "non romantic" when it comes to love songs, especially since a lot of the best ones can have fairly ambiguous lyrics.

I mean, most love songs actually don't explicitly mention sex at all, so there's that.

Lovesong (originally by the Cure) is pretty good for this. I personally like the Imagine Dragons cover, but your results may vary.

"Don't Wait" by Mapei (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33mjGmfy7PA)

I think about my best friend when I hear this song. I guess people can read it romantically, but eh, it's definitely about two people having a strong friendship (the word friendship is used in the song).

Most of my favorite unsentimental love songs are by Ani diFranco: the tweo that come to mind are "Untouchable Face"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6JnQbQbzdo

and "As Is"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYe2NhwXhqk

(this second one can be read as either friendship or "romance" I think *g* I just love the lines "Just give up and admit you're an asshole/ You would be in some good company/ And I think you'd find that your friends would forgive you/ Or maybe I am just speaking for me."

"Read My Mind" by The Killers (the only line that kind of makes it feel romantic is the single use of the word "woman" in one line, so if there's friendships involving a woman, or if you can ignore that line, it works just fine)

Also, "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers. Can totally be read as friendship, and even when read romantically, it sounds WAY more like them talking to their longtime wife, not to some head-over-heels new love affair.
