The Best Songs About Soulmates to Put on Repeat This Summer

What does the word soulmates make you think of? We've been told a lot about what it's supposed to mean, but how does it resonate with you?

When I hear "soulmates," I always think of the subtle moments between me and my partner. I think of lying in bed all day watching TV. I think of crying and laughing because they make me feel light at my most melodramatic. I think of all the moments we spent together before our relationship turned romantic and how oblivious I was. I think of all the times they were so far away, but because they called, I felt like we'd never been closer.

For some people, a soulmate is someone they have shared history with; the person they grew together and alongside, until their pasts were as intertwined as the roots of a tray. For others, it's someone they "clicked" with — the person who finishes their sentences, who they could spend days on end with without needing a break. And for some, the term describes an ineffable bond; something that can only be felt, not put into words.

This playlist commemorates all those feelings — and . From love to lust to drama and harmony, this playlist describes loves of all kinds. Hopefully, it will remind you of someone special and help you cherish that connection, whether it's in the past, present, or future.
