Love takes a dizzying array of forms, and it can mean so many things. It can be good for you or bad to you; maybe both at the same time. It’s a vital two-way thoroughfare between us and our partners, our children, our parents, our friends, our pets — and ourselves. It’s no wonder that this intricate, ever-evolving part of the human experience has been fertile ground for musicians possibly as long as we’ve been making music.
Nashville musicians are no exception. We’ve assembled a playlist of two dozen original tunes (plus one fun cover) that offer a heap of different takes on love, from Brittany Howard’s dance-y look at commitment “Prove It to You” to The Shindellas’ friendship jam “Last Night Was Good for My Soul” and Kacey Musgraves’ song of self-grounding “Deeper Well” and beyond.
Plus what to read, watch and listen to on Valentine’s Day
