3 of the Best Eagles Love Songs

1. “Love Will Keep Us Alive”

Sometimes all we need in life is love. At least, that’s what the Eagles are selling in “Love Will Keep Us Alive.” Now you’ve given me the will to survive, they sing in the heartfelt chorus. It’s impossible to not get on board with the Eagles’ sugary outlook on love when listening to this track.

I was standing

All alone against the world outside

You were searching

For a place to hide

Lost and lonely

Now you’ve given me the will to survive

When we’re hungry

Love will keep us alive

2. “Try and Love Again”

“Try and Love Again” is a rousing ode to the enduring nature of love. Even in the wake of heartbreak, we can’t help but find a way to love again. The band matched that warm and fuzzy sentiment with an equally as comforting melody.

You never know what might be found there

She was dancing right in time

And the moves she made so fine

Like the music that surrounds her

Should I stay or go? I really want to know

Would I lose or win if I try and love again?

3. “Best of My Love”

“Best of My Love” had to have a spot on this list. This stunning, harmony-ridden track is one of the best Eagles songs, point blank. The band made use of their impeccable vocal abilities in this track. The swell in the chorus is akin to the feeling that bubbles up inside of us when we’re in love.

Beautiful faces and loud, empty places

Look at the way that we live

Wasting our time on cheap talk and wine

Left us so little to give

That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud

That we could never rise above

But here in my heart

I give you the best of my love
