Love Songs That Apply To Quarantine Life!
Tired of those tired old love songs about passion? and sentiment? Well, get ready to tap your toes to some songs that are just as sad and depressing, but more relevant to the times.
“Goodbye, Until We Zoom Again” By Shawn Blendez
Wanna shed a tear? This is a love song about two lovers who must part because protesters burned down their signal towers, so Zoom is offline. This low and slow love song will be the thing to have you on the ground in the fetal position in a pool of your own tears.
“Slow Dancin’, With Myself” By Rake
Why listen to a song about people dancing together? Listen to the velvety voice of Rake as he sings about the soul crushing realization you’ll have: Romance will have to be a purely solo act. No one knows how you like to be held like yourself!
“Close To You, But Six Feet Away.” By Justin Timberwolf
This is one of Justin Timberwolf’s biggest hits. Hear him sing about the existential dread of being forced to avoid all contact with your long time lover, even in your own home! This is a real toe tapper!
“I Swear To You, My Love, That I Will Stab You!!” By Brittany Sears
This moderate ballad is just what you need to calm those nerves. Brittany Sears shows off her range here, from sweet petunia to crazed lunatic, driven crazy by the sight of her stupid husband’s stupid face every second of everyday! That’s much more relatable than true sentiment.

“You’re My Lover… Until You Catch Corona” By Ariana Venti
Songs about undying love are a dime a dozen! This dance hit delves into the very real reality of forsaking a lover if he/she gets the coronavirus. She weaves a beautiful tapestry of words like
“You’re my lover, but if you cough, Then fucker, you better back off!”
“I Should Have Known You Better, Outside World” Taylor Slow
Taylor Slow outdoes herself in this pop jam that hits on a very personal note. Remember how you never wanted to go outside because “all my favorite Netflix shows aren’t going to watch themselves,”? Well now you’re dying for literally one second of time outside. Now that Outside has chosen to leave you and rebuild its relationship with wildlife, you want it back. Thirsty much!
“Take Me Back, My Sweet Sanity” By Billie English
Sappy love songs about lost lovers are boring. Here comes a beautiful ballad about trying to regain your sanity after being cooped up in your house for God knows how long. Let Billie’s voice massage you as you slip deeper into this psychological hell you’re headed.
*It won 5 Grammys*
“You’re Toxic, But I love you, Normalcy” By Lady Goo Goo
This heart wrenching mellow pop tune tell the story of a lover still longing for her abusive relationship. Not for a guy, but for the way things were. Any sign of normalcy is like a breath of fresh air; even though the world still sucked balls before. Remember 2019, and 2018… and 2017? They were abusive as hell, but you know that you’ll feel at home if you could go back to those times.
