100 Indie/Alternative Love Songs

Unusual and Unique Love Songs

Chelle
I have always been a fan of indie and alternative music. I am also always searching for that "perfect love song". Recently on my website itmightbelove.com I compiled a collection of my favorites alternative and indie love songs. If you've been looking to make a collection of love songs using some less common love songs or indie and alternative music, you might appreciate this list of 100 indie and alternative love songs included here.
