Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillet: Lucky
American born singer and songwriter Jason Mraz was raised in Mechanicsville, Virginia. Mraz is another artist who rose to fame through Facebook, and who has captured the hearts of Americans with his simple tunes with their soulful lyrics. His song “Lucky” a duet with Colbie Caillet, is a love song as pure and deep as true love and puts a tune to the knowledge that even distance can’t every truly separate soul mates. This top acoustic guitar song is perfect for Valentine’s Day, especially if sung with one’s significant other.
Plain White T’s: Hey There Delilah
Formed in 1997 by a group of high school Friends, Plain White T’s is an American pop rock band from Lombard Illinois who got their starts in the Chicago underground music scene. “Hey There Delilah” was released in their 2005 Album “All That We Needed” and charted extremely high in many countries. The simplicity of “Hey There Delilah” is its charm; a simple story of a boy and girl in love who are separated by distance, but who still have hope in their hearts.
KISS: Beth
Known for their head-banging music and their crazy makeup, the Rock Band KISS is not a group that you would think of when considering acoustic guitar songs about love. But their hit single “Beth” released in their 1976 album “Destroyer” is to date the highest charting single of the group’s impressive repertoire. Written by the Drummer Peter Criss and played on Acoustic Guitar, “Beth” is a plaintive love song for Criss’s wife (actually a combination of Criss’s wife and Brand’s wife) and expresses the yearning he feels for her even when his job keeps him away.
Chase Coy: If the Moon Fell Down Tonight
American born musician, songwriter and producer Chase Coy has made his name, of all places on Facebook. This home grown guitarist whose fame has spread through a grass-roots social networking service has a clarity and perception that escape many of today’s musicians. The song “If the Moon Fell Down Tonight” reflects a sweetness and innocence that can only be found in first love and touches the heart like few songs I have ever heard.
Jason Mraz: I’m Yours
American singer and songwriter Jason Mraz needs no introduction. “I’m Yours” was released on his 2008 Album “We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.” “I’m Yours” peaked at number 6 on Billboard’s Hot 100 list and was Mraz’s first top 10 single. “I’m Yours” is a jazzy, happy, up-beat love song that surrenders to the power of love while putting a grin on your face and a smile in your heart.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
