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

Sep 13 2007, 07:24 PM
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.

What about Heather's London Rain? That's so full of love.
LightYears
Sep 13 2007, 10:40 PM
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.

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.

madonna - inside of me
http://tianlaizhisheng.cn/md/L2RhdGE3L1Nvb...nside+Of+Me.mp3I 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

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 ...

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.

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

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 have some really early vinyl by them buried in my record collection, too.
