This is one of my all-time favorites by Buddy Holly.

I always go for Unchained Melody. Especially the Righteous Brothers version... my heart just melts when I hear that. Also, Lonestar - Amazed is beautiful.
And, this one.. YouTube - ‪Guns N' Roses - This I Love‬‏ |
I am still in love with the song "I love you" by Fun Factory...supah cute song!:thumb:

Here, on the other hand, is a love song that affects me in a good way by making me feel more acutely the emotion of missing someone every time I listen to it: The Drifters - "I Don't Want To Go On Without You" |
Two love songs I like very much:
The Rolling Stones - "She's a Rainbow" Beautiful. The Rolling Stones - "Paint It Black" A great song about the depression caused by the death of a loved-one. |

I saw a live performance of this song on TV and fell in love with it. The lyrics are a little dark maybe, but I love the ebb and flow of the music and the vocals move me. |

All You Need is Love -The Beatles

My favorite one is take back my love by Enrique.
|
I'm sure it's been said, but "Here, There and Everywhere" by The Beatles is my choice.

One of my favorite love songs is "I'd Love Just Once To See You" by The Beach Boys because it realistically describes the experience of loving someone. Instead of being a traditional love ballad that is a soaring, ethereal paean to the beloved, this song shows the meshing of love with everyday life. The lyrics don't have to say "I love you" because the sentiment is spoken primarily through the account of actions. And it's a cute song, too, :) as it describes how thoughts and emotions about the person interlace into your daily activities, filling them with the sweetness of appreciation, pleasant excitement, and hopeful longing to be with that person again and see her or him...entirely.

^ I LOVE that song! Heard it on the radio one night. My favourite version.

*The Moody Blues: Nights in White Satin.

This is probably my favourite.

Below is a love song I like. Just ignore that it was used very effectively in a creepy movie in which the young woman does some rather terrible things to the man about whom she is obsessed! I haven't seen the movie, but the song seems to match the plot perfectly. Breeders - "Do You Love Me Now" This song has a pleasant slow, grinding feel to it, with the rough edges warmed and smoothed by Kim Deal's clear, silky voice. :) The instrumentals give the sense of there being an almost disturbing undercurrent of power behind the soft surface of the words. |
Since the last song ^ I posted was a little disturbing, I decided to share a non-stalkerish love song, an '80s power ballad that I like because it is so sweet and supportive.
Cheap Trick - "If You Want My Love" Sigh. :) This song sounds to me like comfort feels, so I always enjoy listening to it. I like the jangly guitars with their harp-like strumming, the pretty melody, and of course the sentiment. I remember listening to the lyrics carefully when I was a teenager while thinking, wow, could people actually feel that way? The song made me hopeful. I've read that what many women want most in a relationship is to feel desired by someone they admire who has a steadfast heart. If so, then Cheap Trick made a song to feed into that longing almost perfectly. Crafty fellows! I never watched the video before today, though. I was surprised to see the drummer is actually smoking while playing! :( |

Honestly...who doesnt like a good upbeat "im SO sick of love" kind of song every once in a while? sometime the sappy ballads just want to drive you craaaazy! anyone else?
in the spirit of "gave up on love" im going with this new artist Kelli and her song "Gave Up On Love"! ps. this has def been my song of the summer youtube.com/watch?v=ynWQcj2tiyU |
Quote:
Not very lovey-dovey, that's for sure. :p: People with a fondness for electrical equipment may not want to watch the video either. ;) |
Apparently I'm the only one listening to love songs over the last several days, because here I am again! ;)
I was listening to Cyndi Lauper tonight and realized that she sings "I Drove All Night," a love song I like because it expresses so well the impulsive, strong yearning to be with someone you love in a romantic way. Also, it has the sound of a cello :love: in it, an instrument that should inspire a whole genre of love songs dedicated solely to the cello itself. Unfortunately, I found out by watching a performance other than the video below that the cello sound is just a synthesizer. I had been fooled. :( Cyndi Lauper - "I Drove All Night" Fun pictures of Cyndi Lauper and her unique, expressive style: http://www.rad80sfashion.com/80s-wom...ndi_Lauper.jpg http://www.elle.com/var/ezflow_site/...NDI-LAUPER.jpg |
I like "Love Warrior" by Laure Shang. It is unknown as it is by a Chinese singer. However, on youtube, it still get over ten thousands hits.
|
Funny thing about this song, I first heard it during the credits for a horror movie. |
Some love song.
1.Jane tu ya Jane Na. 2.Tu hi haquiqat. 3.kaise muje tum milgai. |
I don't love the sound of this song (below), but I like its meaning very much.
I feel this love song expresses well the complicated and powerful feelings of a romance where you can't quite control or understand the emotions that pull you to someone...but you both want what you can't fully understand, and you don't want to let go of each other: Pat Benatar - "Be Belong" Edit: I said I don't love the sound of the song, but that isn't actually the full story. I do like some of the musical qualities of this song quite a bit. For example, the repetition of quieter sections (the verses) building again and again to the powerful chorus could be thought of as reflecting the ebb and flow of emotions in a relationship where the love you share is like the ocean: sometimes, when the tide is high, the feelings of togetherness can be overwhelming (the chorus), but when the tide is low and the bare, lonely beach is exposed, you feel your aloneness, emptiness, and doubts. The low tides aren't pointless or useless, however, because they let you pay closer attention to some of the beauties of the ocean and the beach (your life) over which it flows, such as the sea stars, sand dollars, and little bubbles rising up from buried crustaceans that you couldn't see during high tide. Perhaps these low tide times of questioning and feeling separate help you have more to give when you are together. They also remind you that a relationship doesn't mean two people effortlessly become one, but rather they remain two people who maintain the relationship by striving again and again to build and honor the feeling they share. Being able to live with the ocean means being able to accept the tides. Also, I love the guitar playing at one particular moment in the song, when the guitar is strummed four times sequentially and powerfully. Here, I'll find the moment . . . it is at 2:13, and just before. I feel this is a special moment in the song, a brief quiet section punctuated by strong sounds not repeated elsewhere in the song. This brief section could be viewed as a metaphor for the reality that the person whom you love, and your feelings for that person, are unique and precious. ^ See, these are the sorts of thoughts I have when I hear and think about music. :D |

Those are lovely. ***** I recently heard a cute cover of "Wishin' and Hopin'" that opens the semi-humorous comedy, "My Best Friend's Wedding," in which Julia Roberts ("Julianne") realizes she is in love with her (rather wooden and two dimensional) best friend right before his wedding. I wouldn't recommend the movie, except for the very beginning (the song) and the very end, a delightful conversation between Julianne and her gay friend George, who describes her as "sniffing the wind like a dappled deer" :) and says to her, Spoiler for The Ending of "My Best Friend's Wedding!":
But back to the start of the movie. It opens with this . . . Ani Difranco - "Wishin' and Hopin'" (Cover of the original song that was written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach and was a Top Ten hit in 1964.) I like watching the dancing and lip syncing in this fluffy confection of pre-wedding hoping and scheming: |
Lovesong hasn't returned :( so maybe I'll take her place! :)
Here's a cute love song I've always felt was very catchy ever since I first heard it . . . a while ago. The Ronettes - "Be My Baby" I really like the percussion's castanets and shakers. They make the song's background sound pleasantly fizzy, like tickly bubbles in soda pop. |
