what's your fave?
hahafave

what is your favorite, most loved looooove song??
for me...

it's Shatter

this song is perfect
it's like putting someone up a pedestal
and loving them too much you feel bad for not being as shiny, as beautiful, as good as the person
love hurts

wuwuwu


Cherub's Ass
Man Shatter... I just found a live version, sooo good.

I don't know if I can think of a better one, really.
QuieroPhair
Kate Bush: This Woman's Work.
LightYears
This is really hard because there're different kinds of love songs and all sorts of implications but one I will always have a special thing for is Jewel's This Way (the track.). You Were Meant For Me, also, but there's something about This Way. Everything is perfect as it but everything is changing, we know everything changes, but we still dream we can stay this way. There's also Heather Nova's If I Saw You In A Movie, and a lot of the South album actually. I love that idea though that we find someone easier to love when they're on the screen and when they're in the limelight, but when they're just next to you, you don't even see it.
QuieroPhair
What about Heather's London Rain? That's so full of love.
LightYears
That's a good one too. I love the way she sings "And where l'm home, curled in your arms, and I'm safe again.. I'll close my eyes and sleep, sleep, to the sound of London Rain...". The way her voice says London Rain that first time makes me shiver.


Oooh and Widescreen, I love the way the bridge soars.

And if we lie still, can you feel the room?
Can you feel the city, can you feel it move?
Can you tell your body, your body from mine?
Can you la la la lie?


Ooh and Glow-Stars. I also love that bridge where she's actually this mass of undesirable things but there's a layering to that song. Like the brittle world being soft inside. I also love that sense of perfection in reality. They're not under a stary sky, they're just stuck on the ceiling in a room. But it's perfect and life is short and it's a lovely song.

I love Heather Nova's "Doubled Up"
and
Jewel's "Morning Song"
LightYears
Oooh I love those two too smile.gif

heh, shatter is just so perfect, isn't it

i got another one..
why can't i

heh just kidding
wirewalker
I love shatter! I love shatter! I love shatter!

I had been quote this song so many times! it hurt my soul

"............Slapped me right in my face................."
Cherub's Ass
Ugh, it's pathetic that so many people consider Why Can't I? to be a great love song that they relate to. This is evident by the grotesque number of fan videos on youtube.
wooden and alone
it's got a killer melody is all. and it does sound a little bittersweet.
redlight
agreed.

if only liz didn't sound robotic...
QuieroPhair
She doesn't right at the end, they take the layers off at the last second.
wooden and alone
but then there is no difference from the songs we hear in the radio, like umbrella and stuff. it's one of those songs, a superior radio ready pop song. i loooove it (in paris hilton voice).
QuieroPhair
Charlotte Martin: Sweet Chariot
redlight
fook, i forgot the most captivating one of all (after shatter):

tanya donelly - head for math
wooden and alone
that's a good one.
also another i seem to listen to all the time is juliana hatfield's might be in love. it's a simple song, just pure love.
"I never had any reason not to roam
But tonight it feels like I'm going home"
redlight
that song is really lovely. ahhh juliana....

a camp's i can buy you is another lovely 'un. the pipettes' it hurts to see you dance so well, also.

That song makes me sad.

And he judged my love, my lust, my taste with the straightest face
As I crumple up inside a papier-mache, a shell with no name...

madonna - inside of me

http://tianlaizhisheng.cn/md/L2RhdGE3L1Nvb...nside+Of+Me.mp3

I can't stop thinking of you
The things we used to do
The secrets we once shared
I'll always find them there
In my memories

But this heartache isn't going anywhere
In the public eye I act like I don't care
When there's no one watching me
I'm crying

[Chorus:]

I will always have you, inside of me
Even though you're gone
Love still carries on
Love, inside of me

I keep a picture of you
Next to my bed at night
And when I wake up scared
I know I'll find you there
Watching over me

[Bridge:]

When my world seems to crumble all around
And foolish people try to bring me down
I just think of your smiling face
And I'm flying

[chorus]

You'll always be inside of my heart
Inside of me

QuieroPhair

I agree, but it fits.

"Can we leave him a trail of my tears"

So pretty the piano and strings.

i love the madonna song, wirewalker
i gotta download that again

thought of another one, MAZZY STAR - FADE INTO YOU
this song is so perfect for those kind of loves where it's all or nothing. co dependent affairs that leave you gasping for air or dead.

no wonder it's been used in many a movie scene to convey something what the screenplay fails to do.

alice cooper - you and me


When I got home from work
I wanna wrap myself around you
I wanna take you and squeeze you
'till the passion starts to rise.

I wanna take you to heaven
that would make my day complete
but you and me ain't movie stars
what we are is what we are
we share a bed some lovin' and t.v. yeah.

That's enough for a workin' man
what I am is what I am
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.

Sometimes when you're asleep and
I'm just starin' at the ceiling
I wanna reach out and touch you
but you just go on dreamin'.

If I could take you to heaven
that would make my day complete
but you and me ain't movie stars
what we are is what we are
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.

You and me ain't no superstars
what we are is what we are
we share a bed some popcorn and t.v. yeah.

And that's enough for a workin' man
what I am is what I am
and I tell you babe
well that's enough for me.

When I got home from work
I wanna wrap myself around you
I like to hold you and squeeze you
'till the passion starts to rise.

I wanna take you to heaven
that would make my day complete ...

Dayna Manning - Simple Plan
Cherub's Ass
WOAH for a second I thought you meant a song by the band simple plan. theyre disgusting, im ashamed theyre canadian.

Anyways,

BLISS by TORI AMOS

One of her few out and out love songs. And even so, it doesn't always make sense. And the verse is really creepy. Yet the chorus is such a burst of love this song gets me every time.

so maybe we're a bliss

of another kind....

Hard topic, and it's hard to say my number one favorite. But some of my favorites:

Sometimes- My Bloody Valentine
Shane- Liz Phair (Love Song?)
Do You Want To Know A Secret?- The Beatles
Heroes- David Bowie
Into the Mystic- Van Morrison
God Only Knows- The Beach Boys
wooden and alone
sometimes is so lovely. i'm not even sure if it's a love song. i don't know the lyrics or anything but it sounds so romantic.

Yeah, that's kind of what I was going for. I know I can here the word love here in there in the song, but really I was going for how the song feels.

PJ Harvey - This is Love

I can't believe that life's so complex

When I just want to sit here and watch you undress

I can't believe that life's so complex

When I just want to sit here and watch you undress



This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love

That I'm feeling



Does it have to be a life full of dread

I wanna chase you round the table, I wanna touch your head

Does it have to be a life full of dread

I wanna chase you round the table, I wanna touch your head



This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love

That I'm feeling



I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering

When you taste so good

I can't believe that the axis turns on suffering

When my head burns



Love, love, love

That I'm feeling

This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love, love, love

That I'm feeling



Even in the summer

Even in the spring

You can never get too much of

A wonderful thing



You're the only story that I never told

You're my dirty little secret, wanna keep you so

You're the only story that never been told

You're my dirty little secret, wanna keep you so



Come on out, come on over, help me forget

Keep the walls from falling as they're tumbling in

Come on out, come on over, help me forget

Keep the walls from falling on me, tumbling in

Keep the walls from falling as they're tumbling in



This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love, this is love

That I'm feeling

This is love, love, love

That I'm feeling


one of her few happy songs about love

wirewalker
Head over heels is fine
Unless you're in stilettos
Love knows no boundaries
Unless your in one of loves ghettos
Love climb every mountain high
But some of us are stuck in a cell
All you need is love love love
And a bloody good tunnel as well

You could get here by aeroplane or boat
Not unreasonable demands
But I could save myself the price of a ticket,
If I didn't let go of your hands

Never mind killing me getting there
But somebody has to make plans
First embrace shoots you into space
And doesn't give a damn where it lands
Why not take a chance on love?
Even at hundred to one
If promise that we'll never let love die
Within a week one of us'll be gone

Love sure makes the world go round
And takes you for a hell of a ride
But I don't wanna waste time searching for love
When it's already stood at my side
Love will make you blind to the truth
Romantic novels all tell
So I'll spend a little time romancing by myself
But that turned me blind aswell

You can get here by crossing sea or desert
I can barely make Blackpool Sands
Railroad, caravan, save it for the mad man
Lets see if love just stands

Never mind killing me getting there
But somebody has to make plans
First embrace shoots you into space
And doesn't give a damn where it lands
Why not take a chance on love?

Even at a hundred to one
If we promise that we'll never let love die
Then within a week one of us'll be gone

Does the length of journey or heart makes
Really provide any proof
All it really proves is love never moves
When it's right there under your roof
My heart is in the right place
Then what's the point in making that trip
Stay right here with you hand on my heart
See how often you cause it to skip
See how often you cause it to skip
See how often you cause it to skip

the beautiful south -get here

I LOVE that song & video (Manic Monday), honey & yes, His Purpleness wrote that especially for them under the nom de plume of Christopher.
Try to seek out their earlier videos, too-they are totally cool.
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE The Bangles period!
Did you know they originally called themselves the Bangs?
I have some really early vinyl by them buried in my record collection, too.
