Too many to list, so 3 suggestions. 1st is from the '60s but I didn't hear it 'til 2 years ago. 2nd is very recent. 3rd is classic bossa nova. All 3 are quite romantic (and blue): Irma Thomas/"Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPT4UizFUEY Melody Gardot/"Sunset in Blue": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qndrrfdmPIA&list=RDMM7_XiW7VrQSo&index=2 Astrid Gilberto/"How Insensitive" (even through translation, the words are beautiful & sad): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxVWqOdn150 |

There are sooo many to choose, but I'll limit to just a few that give me goose bumps... 1) Without You - Harry Nilsson2) I Want Your Love - Anthony Phillips(former Genesis) 3) Kathy's Song - S & G4) For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her - S & G5) Fields of Gold - Sting6) The Last Time I Saw Her - Glen Campbell (orig. by G. Lightfoot)7) The Coldest Days of My Life - The Chi-Lites |
My wife and I got married almost 25 years ago, and there were two songs we specifically wanted played at our wedding: Natalie Cole - Peaceful Living chumbawumba - Tub Thumping Both of us had survived fairly rough divorces, and wanted to dust ourselves off and start off right. They both still get us to dancing and smiling, but now more of a celebration than an anthem. |
Never My Love (Kurt Elling Version) Skylark (Any) My Funny Valentine (Chet Baker) It's funny that I could only think of jazz covers.... |
tmcfadden That Sergio Mendes version of The Look of Love is just sizzling hot. Fantastic horn parts and incredible cymbal smashing, not to mention the sultry way the female lead(s) sing their parts. I play it for my 20 something daughters to hear what the old folks listened to and they admit it's a pretty hot song. |
"Have I Told You Lately That I Love You." Van Morrison. It literally brings tears to my eyes for all the right reasons. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J789GId1kaY |
Some fantastic suggestions, here! So many "standards". Some of you have confused love with Romance. To gain some perspective, here was the song of the year last year. https://youtu.be/hsm4poTWjMs Cardinal B- WAP. Talk about romantic! Dear God! We are in trouble as a society . |
This one for the ages. A voice worthy of the beautiful song.. Roberta Flack owns this like no one else. What a Gift!! https://youtu.be/d8_fLu2yrP4 |

The Moon Represents My Heart - YouTube, My first posting as well. I won't repeat some of my other favs that have already been listed here. This song sung by an amazing vocalist, Zhao Peng. The translation is noted from one of the comments.... Zhaoyu Chen3 years ago His name is Peng Zhao, nicknamed "vocal subwoofer." He is one of my favorite singers. For unknown reason, he is not one of the top-notch singers in China though. Anyway, I love his voice and most of his songs. As far as I know, there is no English version for this song, for which the original singer was Terasa Teng, who is the most renowned Chinese female singer EVER. However, I can translate the lyrics as follows: You ask me how much I love you. to what extent I love you. My affection is true, and my love is true; the moon represents my heart.You ask me how much I love you. to what extent I love you. My affection will not switch, and my love will not change; the moon represents my heart. So gentle is a kiss, and I am so moved by it; so deep is the love, and I'm still keeping it in my mind up to now. You ask me how much I love you. to what extent I love you. You want to ponder it, and you want to look at it; the moon represents my heart. (Interlude)You ask me how much I love you. to what extent I love you. My affection will not switch, and my love will not change; the moon represents my heart. So gentle is a kiss, and I am so moved by it; so deep is the love, and I'm still keeping it in my mind up to now. You ask me how much I love you. to what extent I love you. You want to ponder it, and you want to look at it; the moon represents my heart. You want to ponder it, and you want to look at it; the moon represents my heart.
