Single, seeing someone, or not quite sure what the two of you are, you’re always going to be able to relate to pop (-rock, -indie, -tronica.)
On that multi-faceted note, The B-Side has fervently compiled a list of love-themed songs that relate to anyone’s situation–well, most situations, we hope. If we’ve accidentally left one of your favorites out, be sure to song-check us in the comments.
Otherwise, we hope your day is filled with the sweet sweet buzz of something wonderful; song or otherwise.
