If you’ve been following me for a while, then you know that I’ve featured Sara Bareilles’ “Gravity” as a past Fly Lyrics selection. But even now, the song continues to resonate with me, as countless readers still struggle with the tough task of breaking free from the clutches of an old flame.

No one enjoys breaking up … especially when you’re the “break up-ee” and not the “break up-er.” Well if you find yourself on the wrong end up a separation, you might as well ride off into the sunset to some dope breakup music. My suggestion: Mario’s latest single “Break Up” featuring Gucci Mane and Sean Garrett.

My prayers always started out the same way. “Thank you Lord for this day. Thank you for allowing my loved ones to be safe. And Lord, thank you for her.” That’s right … Thank you for her. From the moment we first locked eyes, I knew that my existence would forever be altered in some mind-blowing, life-shifting way.

Have you ever reminisced on what it felt like to be young and in love? Well today’s Audio Love taps into the very innocence of that love … even though it usually only lasted for a few days. So here are some songs that conjure up thoughts of a time in life when love seemed so simple.

Here’s a helpful assist. If you’re looking for the perfect soundtrack to accentuate an already romantic Valentine evening, then look no further. DJ Lissa Monet capably steps to the plate with the 3rd edition of her Valentine mixtape series, “Lovestoned.” Enjoy.

The sounds of love, both bitter and sweet, deserve to be heard. So for this weekend’s edition of “Audio Love,” Ciara, Brandy, Mario and Slim of 112 earn VIP status for their poignant expressions on the complexities of love. Enjoy.

They say it’s hard to make long distance relationships work, but who really cares what “they” say. In my heart, I was so convinced that she was the one for me. So it didn’t matter what anyone else had to say. When it was time for her to move away, I made a solemn vow before her and God that I would give my all to make our relationship work.

I’ve been searching for the right way to break this news to you; but for the first time in my life, I’m at a loss for words. You may not have known this, but I made a solemn promise long ago that I would strive to never disappoint you. And for the most part I’ve succeeded. But then this happened…

Yesterday I was challenged by one of my readers to come to the table with a song that promoted the positive side of love. Well I decided to do her one better, and share some of my favorite songs that do just that. Enjoy my selections, and feel free to add your own picks to the list. I’ll tell you what; I’ll even add your songs to the list, and we’ll keep a running tab of our favorite love songs.

I looked in her eyes, and saw the endless amounts of pain and frustration that he had caused. Though she couldn’t see it through her tears, I was sent to rescue her; ultimately elevating her to a place where her heart could once again be safe.
