Anything slow by Van Morrison

Into the Mystic is awesome my wedding song.

In case anybody was wondering, I went with The Cure "Lovesong". I listened to it and absolutely loved it. It's perfect for the situation in the story, but I might have to move it to a new part, because my characters changed their minds on what they wanted to do this chapter.

So...I'm not sure. Thanks so much! I tried to listen to them all and the ones I did, I liked. Oh, Jackhammer, I didn't get to go through your posts yet, but I will right now.

I'd like it to be danceable, but it's ok if it's not. Actually, any song a guy would listen to that's not anti-relationship. (aka: cheating, goodbyes, anything like that). I don't care if it's My Chemical Romance, Evanescence, Unknown (make sure I can get it off of frostwire), or even (eww-gulp) pop music. Anything will do (Even Rise Against or something will work). I'd also like (just for my curiosity) the most corny love song you've ever heard! Thank you!

Well I'm a guy and a Neo-Classical composer, however, some of you may have heard me playing keyboard backup for various modern groups from country to pop rock which I did in my younger days at a studio in California, but soon tired of dealing with all the buttmunches in the music business!

For a serious love song, I've always admired the one song of Richard Marx that he regarded as personal and never intended to be recorded until his friends begged him. He wrote the song while separated from his young wife by the Atlantic ocean while on tour. The opening line "Oceans apart..." is meant to be taken literally.

For a group that specializes in love songs, the classic group Air Supply hit the charts with one song after another. This group from Australia was a two man team and one of the singers has perhaps the most beautiful high register voice of any male singer in modern popular music. His vocal range overlaps a female alto and is quite extraordinary. Their songs are melodically rich and some of the best out there. The backup orchestration tends to be rather bland to my taste (senseless string overload common to modern pop music) but all in all this group is the best.

Now for a kick ass love song (or Ex-love) song Nancy Sinatra's These Boots Were Made for Walkin' basically describes the other side of love....when your man has walked out on you and needs a good whoopin'.

However, for suggestive lyrics the KISS anthem which has the line "I want to put my log in your fireplace" takes the cake. I suppose that qualifies as a love song too (or lust song).

So here you have it, the not so definitive "guy" answer to your query.

Yurshta.

PS Hear my music at musicofthegods.com if you like good instrumental music of a Neo-Classical bent.
