Love Songs

Recommended Posts

In honor of Valentines Day---- what is your favorite love song? I was talking to someone earlier about songs that take us back...to our first loves...etc. I remember Journey's "Open Arms" reminds me of couple skating at the local roller rink ..way back when in the 80's..:)
Unchained Melody

Oh, oh my love
Oh my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time


And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine


I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me


Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea


Lonely rivers sigh
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home
Wait for me


Oh, oh my love
Oh my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long and lonely time


And time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine


I need your love
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me (it to me)
God speed your love to me

wow, I guess I never realized that is where your screen name came from. Hmph.
"Blew Away"

Blew, blew away
But I don't wanna fade
Blew, blew
And if you love her
You know it will come true
And if you need her
You know that she'll be there
Stay awake, I lie here
With her and I fall
And when I wake inside you
I know you know I'm yours
Blew, blew away
But I don't wanna fade
Blew, blew
And if you're sad, too
Until the angel sings and touches you
Don't confuse my only life
I said blew, and please don't ever leave
And I will grieve, and remember thee
Hope to meet you there
And I wanna let her know
That I won't let her go
I wanna let her know
That I love her so
I'm blew, blew, blew away
But I don't wanna--
Blew, i love you
Blew

Favorite: In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel
Cheesiest: Eternal Flame - Bangles
Others worth mentioning:

The Postman Song - Stevie B (my middle school favorite, and it also reminds me of the "couples skate" at the skating rink!!!)
Have I Told You Lately - Rod Stewart (bro's wedding song)
There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning

Angel - Jon Secada
Let It Be Me - Everly Brothers
Gave Me Your Heart - Slaughter
A Million Dollars - BNL
Always - Bon Jovi

You're All I Need - Motley Crue. Perhaps the most romantic song ever made. It was written based on a true story about two high schoolers. The boy killed the girl cause he loved her so much and couldn't stand the thought of her with anyone else. Nothing says true love like murder!!:ph34r:

Now to be serious:

"Anymore" by Travis Tritt has very large significance for TLML and me.

He put it out while we were divorced; if you're familiar with the song, you can figure the rest. If not, I really feel sorry for you -- Travis really got jobbed by not getting the CMA for that video.

Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Done in D minor...the saddest of all keys, really. It makes people instantly weep when they hear it.

Other than that anything by Lionel Richie or possibly even Ice T's "Lets get bucknaked and f*ck", that is always a crowd pleaser. Women become putty in your hands if you put that track on.;)

Travis does have some good songs. I can see how "Anymore" would be fitting in your case. Very sweet.

The air that i breath - The Hollies.

The intro to that song always makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.



I totally agree with this. I cannot think of the beginning lyrics right now, but I can hear the melody. It's driving me nuts.

I really love "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton.


It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me
Do I look alright
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight

We go a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me
And then she asks me
Do you feel alright
And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight

I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love you

It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her
As I turn out the light
I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
The words I have to say, May well be simple but they're true, Until you give your love, There's nothing more that we can do-David Bowie

A serious love song... hmm... probably Jets To Brazil "Sweet Avenue":
tasting you and rain I walk down to the train
try not to look down
this day could one day be an anniversary
everything is light and sound
facing forwards going slowly wait for you to show me
where this train wants to go
living by the hour I stop for every flower
everything is soft and slow
now all these tastes improve through the view that comes with you
like they handed me my life
for the first time it felt right

thank you for making me see there's a life in me
it was dying to get out
holding you we make two spoons beneath an April moon
everything is soft and sweet
this cigarette it could seduce
a nation with its smoke
crawling down my tired throat
scratches part of me that's purring
softly stirring

I'm a captain of industry smoking famously
feet up on the windowsill
look at all these trees I feel affinity with
everything so soft and still
budding at my fingertips
touching you I start to bloom
alive with trains and passing ships
soft and sweet along your lips now, I go "oh wow"

thank you for taking me from my monastery
I was dying to get out
with tears of gratitude
I like my latitude
cross town train to you
now all these tastes improve
through the view that comes with you
like they handed me my life for the first time it felt worth it
like I deserved it
