Scarborough Fair normally a light-hearted and cheerful song. “And seek yonder crossroads where we parted ways then, she’ll be a true love of mine” Darkness ♦ ♦ ♦ Passion ♦ ♦ Lyrics ♦ Originality ♦ ♦ Story ♦ ♦ ♦ Magic ♦ The strength of this song lies in its use of different vocals, and the choir in particular makes it interesting to listen to. Not one of Sirenia’s best songs, but it does fit this list quite well. “A peerless cure-all to recover, like lithium and a lover” Darkness ♦ ♦ Passion ♦ Lyrics ♦ ♦ Originality ♦ ♦ Story ♦ Magic ♦ ♦ Not the most remarkable, but beautifully sung by former Deep Purple’s guitarist Ritchie Blackmore’s wife, and done so with a surprisingly dark undertone. “And ever more, he thought he saw a glimpse of her on the moors” Darkness ♦ ♦ Passion ♦ ♦ Lyrics ♦ Originality ♦ Story ♦♦ Magic ♦ “Entwined together, entwined forever” Darkness ♦ Passion ♦ ♦ ♦ Lyrics ♦ Originality ♦ Story ♦ Magic ♦Įasy to listen to, albeit close to mainstream rock (elitist, but true), ‘Entwined’ is an exciting celebration of love by well-known Italian symphonic metalband Lacuna Coil. I made both an article and separate YouTube video of this top 25, so you can watch/read whichever you prefer ? Enjoy! The list includes 25 songs, ranked from awesome to ultra-awesome. So, what are the components of a good gothic love song? I named 6 factors that I believe are often present in a good gothic music: 1) darkness, the ‘goth feel’ 2) passion, including fatal love 3) lyrics, preferably well-written and poetic 4) originality, uniqueness 5) story, telling a gothic tale 6) overall magic, does it simply sound good and make you want to listen again?

There are even a few songs made by pop artists. This list is thus not limited to goth artists or goth rock alone it also features gothic metal and mixed or related genres (doom/symphonic/black). Rules: the song has to be about love, and it has to fit within the genre of gothic music in some way.
