“Photograph” by Def Leppard (1983)
There is no doubt that Marilyn Monroe has beauty with a timeless quality, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that Def Leppard’s Joe Elliot got inspired by her although he was just at the tender age of three. Despite the fact that Monroe wasn’t alive anymore as he aged, he was still smitten. In fact, he was so smitten he penned a metal rock tune called “Photograph” several years later. The track is about having the desire for something which is impossible for you to have. Although only recently he did say that these stories are not true, but critics and fans do not completely believe him.

“Maybe I’m Amazed” by Paul McCartney (1970)

Many feel this single is Paul McCartney’s most meaningful when it come to love songs that he has written as an individual artist. Linda, McCartney’s late wife, inspired the track. She succumbed to breast cancer in 1998. Linda was the source of Paul’s strength for years and it was a great struggle for him to lose her. However, even after Linda’s passing, Paul continued to write songs about his late wife.
