What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To?
Tony Bennett - When Joanna Loved Me |
Perfidia by Trio Los Panchos. Who needs to know what the words mean? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snFxAoEYfGo&ab_channel=CancionesparaelRecuerdo |
Or if it must be in English, there's the National Anthem . . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wqa1ctKmeg&ab_channel=EllaFitzgerald-Topic |
Never My Love" is a pop standard written by American siblings Don and Dick Addrisi, and best known from a hit 1967 recording by The Association. Recorded by dozens of notable artists in the decades since, in 1999 the music publishing rights organization Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) announced it was the second most-played song on radio and television of the 20th century. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tyv4SwjsDl0 |
So many good ones. Here are a few that have not been listed yet, I don't think. Some from my teen years, when romance is such a mystery--at least it was back then to me: Sixteen Candles--The Crests You Belong to Me--The Duprees Ohh, Baby Baby--Smokey (or Linda...) Most "romantic" video: Jon Bon Jovi: Please Come Home for Christmas (Eagles original version of this Charles Brown song is best recording, but when it comes to "romance"...) And of course, before Led Zep IV, we all put on Johnny Mathis...did not matter which album; just make sure there is a big stack on the changer (remember them??). Cheers! |
How Do I Live - LeAnn Rimes I realize this post was about personal preference of romantic songs, but this one has some statistical backing as the favorite of many people: #4 all time on Billboard’s Hot 100 and the highest rated love song. 69 weeks on the chart, with 62 of those weeks being in the top 40, 32 weeks on the top ten and 25 in the top five, all records at the time. Imagine a song staying in the top 40 for 62 straight weeks. Mind blowing. And it made a nice contrast to the insanity of Malkovich, although that was the Trisha Yearwood version used in Con Air. |
Obviously there is only one answer, missed by all above. "Love Serenade," by Barry White, is the most romantic song of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qj1QRbhEmlU |
Without a doubt, for me it is John Hiatt's "Have A Little Faith In Me". Played and danced to that tune on our plywood floors with my future wife just before I flew back home to conclude an overseas romance. She was worried, but that dance and song provided real comfort to us both. We had a wonderful 30 year marriage, only interrupted by Alzheimer's Disease. |
@pgaulke60 Moments can make the song and the song can make the moment. A beautiful moment and Alzheimer's is cruel. A few through the years that are fun to remember. * I'm so proud-The Impressions * Maybe I'm Amazed-Paul McCartney * Here's an obscure one: Suavecito-Malo * Several by Tower of Power-Still a Young Man, All the City Lights * Keep on Walking-Gino Vanelli * Always and Forever-Heat Wave * Skylark-(several versions I like) * Someone Like You-Van Morrison and one that probably shouldn't be romantic, Billy Paul's version of Me and Mrs. Jones. We could all go on forever but at least for me, it would be remembering moments framed by a song...or an album. For my wife and I it is Coltrane-Hartman. |
