Juanes has some of the most masterfully catchy canciones de desamor anywhere in the world outside of Adele. This is one of my favorite tunes which shows some of his range, a song about how he asks God to always be close to his love, that his mother won't die, that his people would stop shedding so much blood, etc. :)
Before the Civil Wars, Joy Williams put out a few indie pop EPs. This track and "Speaking a Dead Language" set the bar for the Civil Wars and win my award for best haunting love songs ever.
