There are a number of options at your disposal when it comes to finding romantic songs, whether you’re just in the mood to listen to them yourself or you’re looking to create a certain atmosphere for that special someone. For the times when you don’t want to reach for the boyband music, it is worth having some acoustic guitar love songs up your sleeve.

Here are five of the top songs that you can take advantage of; they’re also great songs you should consider learning yourself so you can impress your loved one even more.

Wonderful Tonight

There are a few Eric Clapton songs that we could have included on this list, but Wonderful Tonight is definitely the best of the bunch. Admittedly, it might fall on the edge of cheesy, sometimes, but if your partner is familiar with music and loves the greats of the past, it is a song you have to have when it comes to romance. Naturally, you should look for it on a Clapton Unplugged CD for the most romantic effect.

Sparks

While Coldplay are notorious for being something of a Marmite band, they, like Clapton, do have a number of options available when it comes to romantic numbers. While Sparks is probably one of Coldplay’s lesser known tracks, it is also one of the most romantic they have recorded, although no doubt cynics will say it’s another moody track that has become the band’s trademark.

Iris

This Goo Goo Dolls song is so romantic it is sickening at times, and is definitely another from the love it or hate it category. Originally made famous by the movie City of Angels, it has been covered many times since and has the power to make men and women around the world burst into tears almost at will.

I Miss You

We’re talking about the Incubus song here, but you could also sing the Blink 182 version if you wanted, although how you’d turn that into an acoustic guitar love song, we’re not so sure. There’s nothing like the feeling of a partner saying they miss you when you can’t be together, so tell yours that you miss them with this top track.

Baby I Love Your Way

Although the reggae version of this track, released by Big Mountain in 1994, is probably the one known to most people, the original, by Peter Frampton, is where you should be looking for your romantic inspirations, especially if you’re planning to learn the song yourself. Why not tell your partner you love everything about them, especially after you’ve been missing them for so long?

Acoustic guitar love songs are powerful, poignant, and personal to thousands of couples all around the world. What are your favourites that mean something to you?
