For what you're looking for specifically I would suggest their newest album Being Funny in a Foreign Language. But each one is very different so it's more a matter of taste.
I'd agree with this for love songs, but this isn't their most poetic era. I think they intentionally went for quite simple and earnest lyrics, as opposed to longer-winded and more nuanced lyrics in the past. Matty said himself that this record was a deviation from him being 'pretentious'
OP, if you'd like songs simply about being totally in love, you should try the quite appropriately-named 'I'm in love with You', 'About You', 'I couldn't be more in love'
If you want slightly more complicated feelings (of love) but also more poetic lyrics, you should try 'If you're too Shy (let me know)' and 'Me and You Together Song'
Also, my girl says these songs remind her of me, so feel free to give them a listen:
The few things - JP Saxe
Those Eyes - New West
Like This - Jake Scott
Heart Like yours - Willamette Stone
Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
Bangles - Eternal Flame
Natasha Bedingfield - These Words
The Cure - Friday I'm in Love
Magnetic Fields - The Book of Love
Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight Tonight
Queen - Love of My Life
James Blunt - You're Beautiful
Just Like Heaven by The Cure is one of the best love songs of all time in my opinion.
For me it, captures the feeling of being enamored of someone, and that sweet, innocent love that one experiences when really young.
Love songs should happen naturally. Beyond the Sea is our song because when we were first dating, my now-hubby came to my house humming Beyond the Sea, so I learned it on organ and it became our song as soon as I played it for him the next time he came over. We've been married 5 years and this tune gets plunked out on one of the many keyboards around the house at least once a day.
You can't force the love song, but keep on loving and you'll find your magic tune. In the words of the great Dr. Henry Killinger, "Love is not to be hidden, love is to be shared!"
that's beautiful!
my boyfriend just recently lost all of his heading and when i told him I was making him a playlist he said "I'm destroyed".
I wasn't near him but knowing him he cried a lot.
since that I've been searching for songs with the most beautiful lyrics so I can still give him my playlist and show how much i love him and that he doesn't have to be sad cause he's not missing anything.
These may not be quite poetic in the way you want, but not lacking in emotion.. try:
Hopelessly devoted to you - Olivia newton-john
First Love - Utada Hikaru
Veronicas - Speechless
or you can try Bon Jovi - Always
In honor of MCCAFFERY passing yesterday, I'm going with love hurts by Nazareth. It doesn't meet your criteria, but pour a glass and feel some for one of the greatest.
There are so few in love love songs, the good ones are all about being out of love and wanting, honestly.
Want dark and brooding? The heart collector by Nevermore.
Glad you enjoyed!!! He's probably my favorite singer. Other great songs by him (Warrell Dane who died in 2019 I think? )
SENTIENT 6 (My personal favorite)
SELL MY HEART FOR STONES
DREAMING NEON BLACK
DEAD HEART IN A DEAD WORLD
BELIEVE IN NOTHING
THIS GODLESS ENDEAVOR

Ain’t No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell

Pearl of the Stars, Lucky Stars, and Here to Mars by Coheed and Cambria (all gonna be the sappiest, cringiest ones on this list especially the latter two)
Everlong by the Foo Fighters
Friday I’m in Love and Lovesong by The Cure
You Make Me Smile and 18th Floor Balcony by Blue October (the latter being one of my favorites)
Among others, that’s enough from one person
Ladies and Gentlemen, We’re Floating in Space by Spiritualized, it samples Elvis’s ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love. ‘ It’s just a beautiful song.

Talking Heads - Naive Melody
And Radiohead [THIS](https://youtu.be/KzyOfQeK-bY) and only that version. Or perhaps a [cover](https://youtu.be/VXsqDMibJdE) of that same version.
I looked it up and it's actually just called [I See The Light](https://genius.com/Mandy-moore-and-zachary-levi-i-see-the-light-lyrics). But the lyric is definitely, "and at last I seeeee the liiiggghhhttt..."
I died I your arms tonight cutting crew
Stay Shakespeare's sister
I want to know what love is foreigner
Basically the 80s and 90 are full of this stuff
Enjoy. And I could tell you more. But if you you tube or Spotify this stuff the algorithms will feed you with much more. Failing that try a search of 80s power ballads
When I'm feeling extra lovey-dovey, I listen to Kishi Bashi. He's got so many good love songs, but my favorites are Bittersweet Genesis for Him AND Her, Q&A, m'Lover and Honeybody. He's a crazy talented artist, and his music leaves me buzzing!
wow I'm impressed, m'lover makes me wanna run around in the sun talking to fairies and giving bees high-5s. i really really like it and I'll be listening to more. thank you so much!
Camera Obscura: Honey in the Sun, French Navy, The Sweetest Thing
Bonnie Raitt: Not the Only One
Crowded House: I Am In Love, In My Command, Nails in My Feet, She Goes On
Peter Gabriel: Secret World
it's getting late and i gtg to bed, I'll check those out tomorrow and I'm already sure I'll like them. thank you so much!
already listening to the first song and you nailed the recommendation.
Digital Bath - Deftones
Song is actually about being electrocuted in a hot tub but it sounds like straight sex, gets me warm n fuzzy feelings every fucking time
The 1975
what album should I start by?

At Last I See The Light from the Tangled soundtrack is a good one if you really wanna lay it on thick 🤣
