THE ART OF LOVING, public playlist by todd nelson
you think a princess and a guy like me? — the oldest love letter he's written, for winter @yourcinluv listened to exclusively on shuffle, in added order.
FALLING ♡ FLORENCE & THE MACHINE ! ADDED: APRIL 7TH, 2019
sometimes I wish for falling, wish for the release. wish for falling through the air to give me some relief. because falling is not the problem, when I'm falling I'm at peace. it's only when I hit the ground, it causes all the grief.
WHEN I WAS YOUR MAN ♡ BRUNO MARS ! ADDED: APRIL 7TH, 2019
same bed, but it feels just a little bit bigger now. our song on the radio, but it don't sound the same. when our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down, 'cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name.
SOMEONE YOU LOVED ♡ LEWIS CAPALDI ! ADDED: APRIL 7TH, 2019
now, the day bleeds into nightfall and you're not here to get me through it all. I let my guard down and then you pulled the rug. I was getting kinda used to being someone you loved.
BRUISES ♡ LEWIS CAPALDI ! ADDED: APRIL 7TH, 2019
counting days, counting days, since my love up and got lost on me. and every breath that I've been taking since you left feels like a waste on me. I've been holding on to hope that you'll come back when you can find some peace. 'cause every word that I've heard spoken since you left feels like a hollow street.
DON'T DESERVE YOU ♡ PLUMB ! ADDED: APRIL 7TH, 2019
your heart is gold and how am I the one that you've chosen to love? I still can't believe that you're right next to me after all that I've done.
EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED ♡ TAYLOR SWIFT & ED SHEERAN ! ADDED: APRIL 7TH, 2019 NOVEMBER 12TH, 2021
all I knew this morning when I woke is I know something now, know something now I didn't before. and all I've seen since eighteen hours ago is green eyes and freckles and your smile in the back of my mind, making me feel like I just wanna know you better, know you better, know you better now.
PUT A LITTLE LOVE ON ME ♡ NIALL HORAN ! ADDED: DECEMBER 31ST, 2019
we wrote and we wrote till there were no more words. we laughed and we cried until we saw our worst. is it wrong that I still wonder where you are? is it wrong that I still don't know my heart?
I ALMOST DO ♡ TAYLOR SWIFT ! ADDED: DECEMBER 31ST, 2019 NOVEMBER 12TH, 2021
I bet, this time of night, you're still up. I bet you're tired from a long, hard week. I bet you're sittin' in your chair by the window lookin' out at the city, and I bet sometimes you wonder 'bout me. and I just wanna tell you, it takes everything in me not to call you. and I wish I could run to you. and I hope you know that every time I don't, I almost do.
LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN ♡ BRUNO MARS ! ADDED: MARCH 5TH, 2021
I ain't playin' no games, every word that I say is coming straight from the heart. so if you tryna lay in these arms, I'ma leave the door open. hopin' that you feel the way I feel, and you want me like I want you tonight, baby. tell me that you're comin' through.
GROW AS WE GO ♡ BEN PLATT ! ADDED: JUNE 30TH, 2021
you won't be the only one. I am unfinished, I’ve got so much left to learn. I don’t know how this river runs, but I'd like the company through every twist and turn. ooh, who said it’s true, that the growing only happens on your own? they don't know me and you.
IN THE KITCHEN ♡ RENEE RAPP ! ADDED: JUNE 30TH, 2023
when I walk in the kitchen, my heart hits the floor, 'cause it's you that I'm missin'. I still see a vision of us cookin' dinner, and you holding me from behind. and you say, "please be careful, the knife is so big, and we can't have another er trip. we're too young, too dumb, too in love to afford it."
WOULD YOU BE SO KIND ♡ DODIE ! ADDED: AUGUST 14TH, 2024
oh, would you be so kind as to fall in love with me? you see, I'm trying. I know you know that I like you, but that's not enough. so if you will, please fall in love. I think it's only fair, there's gotta be some butterflies somewhere, wanna share? 'cause I like you, but that's not enough. so if you will, please fall in love with me. let's write a story, be in my book. you've got to join me on my page. at least take a look.
NICE TO EACH OTHER ♡ OLIVIA DEAN ! ADDED: JUNE 30TH, 2025
I don't know where the switches are, or where you keep the cutlery, and I'll probably crash your stupid car, and make your life a misery. but we could be nice to each other.
IT ISN'T PERFECT BUT IT MIGHT BE ♡ OLIVIA DEAN ! ADDED: JUNE 30TH, 2025
I could go back to the old place and write your name on every blank page. but it's a story now, just a story now, that's the kind of thing that you'd say. you say no need to look behind me, that I can keep you here beside me, to make a mess of it, then make the best of it. it isn't perfect, but it might be.
THE ART OF LOVING (INTRO) ♡ OLIVIA DEAN ! ADDED: SEPTEMBER 26TH, 2025
it's the art of loving, It wasn't all for nothing, yeah, you taught me something. playlist name updated: "the art of loving"
SAY MY NAME IN YOUR SLEEP ♡ MAISIE PETERS ! ADDED: DECEMBER 28TH, 2025
it was love, it was love, don't lie to me, babe. I'd rather be hated than forgotten. I'm the pain in your side and the spectre out of view. so you can change your mind, but I will never quite leave you. I know it's done, I know it's over. you're better far away from me. you're happy now, I'm happy for ya. but I hope you say my name in your sleep.
TO LOVE SOMEBODY ♡ HOLLY HUMBERSTONE ! ADDED: FEBRUARY 16TH, 2026
so you crashed into the wall. you're cleaning up the broken glass, thinking, "what the hell was that?". in the movie of your life, you're the first to die, and the critics called it trash. too bad.
SKINNY DIPPING ♡ SABRINA CARPENTER ! ADDED: FEBRUARY 16TH, 2026
you'll suggest a restaurant we used to go to and I'll say, "won't that be too nostalgic?" and you'll say, "maybe, but let's do it anyway". we won't sit at our same old table, I promise. and we won't bring up the past, we'll keep it bureaucratic. and we won't say it, but both of us, we'll be thinkin' about how different we are from those scared little kids that had those arguments in your garage. all the ways we sabotaged it. what it was and what it wasn't.
I LOVE YOU, I'M SORRY ♡ GRACIE ABRAMS ! ADDED: APRIL 14TH, 2026
I was a dick, it is what it is. a habit to kick, the age-old curse. I tend to laugh whenever I'm sad. I stare at the crash, it actually works. making amends, this shit never ends. I'm wrong again, wrong again.
LONG STORY SHORT ♡ KNOX ! ADDED: JUNE 1ST, 2026
so long story short, we traded tears on the porch. two broken hearts on the floor, and it's too late to stitch 'em up. so long story short, if I know one thing for sure, the way she walked out that door with everything that we had, I knew it for a fact, long story short, she ain't ever coming back.
