Song of the Day: Love Will Lead You Back ( by Taylor Dane)

Posted on February 13, 2026 by Arleigh

There’s something timeless about Taylor Dayne’s “Love Will Lead You Back.” It’s one of those late‑’80s power ballads that seems to wrap you in equal parts heartbreak and hope. The production has that cinematic touch — sweeping keys, smooth percussion, and Dayne’s powerhouse vocals soaring right at the emotional peak. You can practically imagine it playing in the background of a classic movie breakup scene, the kind where one person turns away but everyone watching knows they’ll find their way back to each other.

What really hits about this song is how honest it feels about love’s cycles — that idea that no matter how far two people drift, fate has a way of reconnecting them when the time is right. Dayne’s delivery balances vulnerability and strength; she’s not begging, she’s believing. The lyrics have that emotional confidence that was so characteristic of ballads from that era, blending idealism and maturity in a way that feels comforting even decades later.

Listening to it now, the song carries a kind of nostalgic magic. It brings you back to a time when love songs weren’t afraid to be grand and achingly sincere. Maybe it’s the warm analog production or the fearless emotion in Dayne’s voice, but it reminds you how music used to make you stop for a moment — just to feel. It’s a track that doesn’t just tell you love will lead you back; it makes you believe it.

Love Will Lead You Back

Saying goodbye is never an easy thing
But you never said that you’d stay forever
So if you must go, well darlin’, I’ll set you free
But I know in time that we’ll be together

Oh, I won’t try to stop you now from leaving
‘Cause in my heart I know

Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
Where you belong
I’m sure, sure as stars are shining
One day you will find me again
It won’t be long
One of these days our love will lead you back

One of these nights
Well, I’ll hear your voice again
You’re gonna say
Oh, how much you miss me
You’ll walk out this door
But someday you’ll walk back in
Oh, darling I know
Oh, I know this will be

Sometimes it takes
Some time out on your own now
To find your way back home

Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
Where you belong
I’m sure, sure as the stars are shining
One day you will find me again
It won’t be long
One of these days our love will lead you back

But I won’t try to stop you now from leaving
‘Cause in my heart I know, oh yeah

Love will lead you back
Someday I just know that
Love will lead you back to my arms
It won’t be long
One of these days our love will lead you back

Song of the Day: On the Wings of Love (by Jeffrey Osborne)

Posted on February 3, 2026 by Arleigh

Jeffrey Osborne’s On the Wings of Love always brings back the nostalgia of those junior high and high school dances—the dim lights, the cautious swaying, the mix of nerves and excitement that felt like the biggest deal in the world. It was one of those slow songs that seemed built for that moment: simple, heartfelt, and unafraid to wear its emotions openly. Hearing it again instantly puts you back in that space where a single dance could mean everything.

What stands out now, listening with older ears, is how raw and genuine it sounds. This was music from a time before autotune, when what you heard was pure singing talent—no filters, no layers of studio polish to smooth out the edges. Osborne’s voice carries every ounce of emotion on its own, steady and powerful, but full of warmth. That sincerity is what made the song feel so timeless; it wasn’t just about hitting the notes, it was about meaning them.

Revisiting On the Wings of Love today feels like a little time capsule from when love songs aimed straight for the heart, no tricks or irony. It captures an innocence that’s rare in modern pop—back when melody and emotion were enough to lift you. For February, it’s the perfect reminder that sometimes the purest expressions of love come from nothing more than a beautiful voice and a song that believes in what it’s saying.

On the Wings of Love

Just smile for me and let the day begin
You are the sunshine that lights my heart within
And I’m sure that you’re an angel in disguise
Come take my hand and together we will rise

On the wings of love, up and above the clouds
The only way to fly is on the wings of love
On the wings of love, only the two of us
Together flying high, flying high upon the wings of love

You look at me and I begin to melt
Just like the snow when a ray of sun is felt
And I’m crazy ’bout ya, baby, can’t you see
I’d be delighted if you would come with me

On the wings of love, up and above the clouds
The only way to fly is on the wings of love
On the wings of love, only the two of us
Together flying high, flying high upon the wings of love

Yes, you belong to me and I’m yours exclusively
Right now we live and breathe each other
Inseparable it seems, we’re flowing like a stream
Running free flowing on the wings of love

On the wings of love, up and above the clouds
The only way to fly is on the wings of love
On the wings of love, only the two of us
Together flying high, together flying high

On the wings of love, up and above the clouds
The only way to fly is on the wings of love
On the wings of love, only the two of us
Together flying high, together flying high
Upon the wings of love, of love

Song of the Day: Make Me Love You (by Taeyeon)

Taeyeon Make Me Love You

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.

It’s not too much a surprise that today’s latest Song of the Day is very much Valentine’s Day or, at the very least, romance-related. The song chosen comes courtesy of Taeyeon’s ballad from her first full-length album, My Voice, which saw it released in 2017.

“Make Me Love You” actually was part of the album’s deluxe edition which was released a couple months later with the song part of a trio of new one added just for this new edition.

The song has an R&B pop ballad sound that does a great job in incorporating Taeyeon’s unique voice. There’s a reason that for many year’s now that she’s been one of K-Pop’s top soloist in addition as being part of the biggest girl group in the country as leader and Main vocalist of Girls’ Generation.

We have a song that where Taeyeon seems to almost speak to the listener. For the listener to take the leap in allowing the romance begin between them and singer. It’s a ballad that speaks to the anticipation of a potential new romance and also the self-doubt that everyone goes through whenever one should or should not make the first move, leap or step in making it happen.
