unrequinted love

im looking to make a playlist, but am having trouble coming accross songs which fit the title "Unrequinted love", Prince or otherwise.
They can also, or i guess, are more likly to be depressing.

Maybe way out of your musical scope ( do NOT take that as a slight, it isn't meant as such. Some folks just don't do before a certain era) but The Andrews Sister's "I Can Dream, Can't I?" would fit your theme to a "t".

from your username i figure you might be german and therefore you might
also know Katja Maria Werker and thus her song "carried the cross".

it's not strictly about unrequited love but it has come to have that
meaning to me. it's very sincere and emotional in a clinical way lol
but that's how i like my emotional distress, neatly filed with soft
shimmerings of otherworldly terror.

biggrin
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Just about anything in Dionne Warwick's catalogue from Bacharach/David. For my listening ears, nobody does it better than her.

Walk on By
Anyone Who Had a Heart
Who Can I Turn To
Are You There (With Another Girl)
I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself


Those are just a few off the top of my head that directly fit the bill, but there are tons to pick from her songs.
