10 Songs regarding Long-Distance Relationships

In one of his best-known comedies, The Twelfth Night, The Bard said, “If music be the food of love, play on.”

And only those who are in long-distance relationships would truly understand the profundity of these remarks.

These 10 songs will reassure you that you are not alone in your need to reconnect with your beloved and that your reunion will be the most beautiful thing you have ever experienced when you are missing them terribly and everything else in the world seems meaningless.

“One Thousand Miles”

At first, this Vanessa Carlton song might sound a little corny, but it will eventually grow on you. The greatest thing about it is that it draws attention to the mile-based gap that drives all long-distance lovers crazy.

Despite its sentimentality and simplicity, the line “You know I’d walk a thousand miles if I could just see you tonight, if I could just hold you tonight” seems to capture precisely what’s on the forefront of your thoughts.

“Love cannot be hurried.”

For couples who have recently started a long-distance relationship, this song by The Supremes says it all, including the importance of letting love take its own sweet time and run its own course.

How many times have promising relationships prematurely ended because they were rushed or pressured to bloom before they were ready? The song’s lyrics also convey a similar message: “Love cannot be hurried. No, you simply need to wait. No matter how long it takes, you have to have faith and give it time.”

“I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You”

This song, played by Savage Garden, is essentially a calling card for those who connect in person after initially connecting online.

This song is fantastic for long-distance relationships since it talks about love which is experienced on a deeper level than the routine dates and daily encounters that many young couples take for taken for granted.

“Why do naive people fall in love?”

Let your inner child go wild and ask Frankie Lemmon & The Teenagers, “Why does the rain fall from above, Why do fools fall in love?” whenever you feel remorse.

Couldn’t you have gone out with the receptionist on the floor above your workplace, or dated the hot guy from the local gym? If you had done that, life would have been so much easier. That wouldn’t have been love, though, would it?

“After you come down again”

Consider this: there may even be a valid basis for your separation. What happens if one of you needs to pursue your goals and make a name for yourself? The song’s lyrics, “When you’re soarin’ through the air, I’ll be your solid ground,” highlight a love that is supportive of a partner’s goals and aspirations.

There may be a lot of good that comes from your separation. I’ll be waiting for you when you return to earth, so take as many chances as you dare.”

Put your regrets and tears behind and find encouragement in the song, which celebrates a love that is empathetic and ready to let the other person to grow.

“Turn, turn, turn! To Everything there’s a Season”

If you’re not feeling very giving or selfless toward your lover, this upbeat song by The Byrds should give you hope. It is especially uplifting for couples who are losing patience in a long-distance relationship and wondering where it is all headed.

It is a modern spin on the proverb “this too shall pass.” Maybe this is your “season” to be apart, but each season eventually ends and gives birth to a new stage. As the tune goes: “To everything, turn, turn, turn, there a season, turn, turn, turn and a time to every purpose under heaven.”

“Right here waiting”

Richard Marx’s lovely song conveys a powerful message about the unwavering strength and endurance of love that isn’t scared to withstand the passage of time. It is evidence of a lover’s perseverance and dedication when they are willing to wait for their loved one for as long it takes.

The song is about real love and dedication, two things that are essential to any long-distance relationship’s survival and are therefore incredibly fitting for those who are geographically separated.

“At Last”

You are finally going to meet, after being away for days, weeks, or even months. Enjoy this catchy Ella Fitzgerald song as you give in to the waves of happiness that are surging through your heart.

The song “At last, my love has come along” perfectly captures the feelings of love and joy that arise when you are about to finally see your partner after all this time. Life seems like a melody now that my lonely days are behind me. Oh yes.” Even if you don’t think you’ll see your sweetie anytime soon, try to picture yourself in that situation and sing along while you visualize it.
