IF THIS IS LOVE | 1980s Style Soft Power Ballad • Retro Love Song

Описание: If This Is Love is an original 1980s-style power ballad inspired by the warmth, sincerity, and emotional clarity of classic FM radio love songs.

Opening with mellow electric piano, subtle rhythm guitar, and steady drums, the song builds gradually as a husky male vocal takes center stage. Warm bass anchors the rising chorus, while smooth vocal harmonies, lush synth layers, and swelling guitars amplify each refrain. The result is a timeless retro love ballad that balances intimacy with uplift.

Rather than dramatic heartbreak, If This Is Love focuses on the quieter realization of genuine connection — when love no longer needs to prove itself and simply remains. It’s a song about certainty, warmth, and choosing what lasts.

Perfect for fans of romantic 80s music, classic soft rock ballads, nostalgic love songs, and timeless radio melodies.

All music and lyrics are original.

If This Is Love
Verse 1
We were young with our backs to the warning signs
Chasing sparks in the dark, crossing every line
Said we’d never slow down, never look behind
Like the night owed us time
Every promise felt louder when the lights came on
Every doubt disappeared when the crowd was gone
But the truth gets heavier the longer you run
When the silence comes

Pre-Chorus
I don’t need another answer
I don’t need to know the cost
I just feel it in the stillness
When the noise is lost

Chorus
If this is love
It doesn’t need to shout
It stands its ground
When the fire burns out
If this is love
It’s holding on
When everything that glittered
Is already gone

Verse 2
I’ve seen moments break hearts just by passing through
I’ve seen dreams fall apart trying to come true
But I learned what matters when I looked at you
Without the sound
We don’t need every word to be carved in stone
Some things last just by staying unbroken
When the world keeps spinning and you’re left alone
With what you know

Pre-Chorus
I don’t miss the burning fever
I don’t miss the dizzy rush
I believe in what is standing
When it’s tested enough

Chorus
If this is love
It doesn’t fade with time
It doesn’t need
A perfect sign
If this is love
It’s still right here
When the lights go out
And the truth is clear

Bridge
Maybe love isn’t the moment
When everything feels new
Maybe it’s the quiet decision
To stay true
When the crowd disappears
And the night comes down
And there’s no one left
But the sound

Final Chorus
If this is love
It doesn’t run
It doesn’t hide
When the damage is done
If this is love
It’s not the flame
It’s the reason
We survive the flame

Outro
Let the past keep all its questions
Let tomorrow come undone
I don’t need a better answer
If this is love
