I Was Born To Love You by David Baerwald |
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! |
“Lady” by the late Kenny Rogers. My ex loved that song. |
In My Life, Beatles. It was sung and played at my wedding, I sang it to myself upon my divorce. As fine a love song as has ever been recorded.

Someone like you by Van Morrison
I remember everthing by John Prine
And l just heard this song the other day that l haven't heard in a long time, That makes one of us by Alison Krauss |
"Something" by the Beatles |
I can’t believe there haven’t been any votes for Van Morrison’s “Moondance”, “Crazy Love” or “Tupelo Honey”...For a time he was THE troubadour of stoned love. |
"Love and Affection" - Joan Armatrading |
Champaign "how bout us"...
#2 for gordon lightfoot's "Beautiful"! Also #2 for "I only have eyes for you" by the Flamingos.
The Casinos- "then you can tell me goodbye" Fraternity records. |
Oh yes! This is the most viscerally romantic song I've ever listened to. It conjures up a sensation that is distinctly human, the essence of romance. |
You make me so very happy
Blood Sweat and Tears |
Overjoyed - Stevie Wonder
|
Don’t forget George Harrison’s
Something |
Righteous Brothers, "Unchained Melody".
Newer?
Katie Melua, "Just Like Heaven". |
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 |
You soppy buggers.....
Oh well here goes
Closer.... Nine inch nails.... |

“In My Life” The Beatles. |
I got beat to the punch by a coupla posters ("Moon River" and "The Look Of Love"). Currently I get delirious every time I listen to Lucinda sing "Where Is My Love", and even more so "West". On the latter, listen for the triplet Keltner plays on his kick drum (once and only once). SO cool! |
Stardust by Nat king cole, most beautiful song ever written bar none. |
The Very Thought of YouElla Fitzgerald |

Something - The Beatles
My Love - Paul McCartney
Maybe I’m amazed - Paul McCartney
You’re in my heart - Rod Stewart
Beautiful View - Ron Sexsmith
I’ll never find another you - The Seekers
Too beautiful to last - Engelberg Humperdinck
Time in a bottle - Jim Croce |
"I have a fairly good idea what type of music this crowd here is auditioning..." We all do. That is what whole thread is about. |
Speak Softly Love - Andy Williams
If - Pink Floyd
Without You - Badfinger
Where The Wild Roses Grow - Nick Cave
If You Go Away - Jacques Brel
At Last - Etta James
Thank You - Led Zeppelin
Angie - Rolling Stones
Creep - Radiohead
|
"Today" by Jefferson Airplane would certainly be one for me. Really beautiful, and heartfelt. |
“Suzanne” by Leonard Cohen |
|
Some really romantic songs here!
My pick is 'some enchanted evening'. By anyone. Just heard it for the first time a couple of years ago whilst watching South Pacific. Can't get it out of my head. |
I have a fairly good idea what type of music this crowd here is auditioning on their $25K+ setups.
All these tunes are great but will sound better on a vintage mediocre Hi Fi |
“When Your Young and In Love”
by the Flying Pickets |
First time ever I saw your face. Roberta Flack
Killing Me Softly. Roberta Flack |
|
My first post here:
"Moon River", Henry Mancini |
Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin
|
|
Lucinda Williams "Right in Time" |
"Marie," Randy Newman. Achingly beautiful, a man sings his lover's praises while laying bare his soul with nothing held back.

"We have All the Time In the World," Louis Armstrong in the James Bond Movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service title track. This was towards end of Pops career, but I still get goose bumps. John Barry composed the love song "We Have All the Time in the World", with lyrics by Burt Bacharach’s regular lyricist Hal David. It is heard during the Bond–Tracy courtship montage, bridging Draco’s birthday party in Portugal and Bond’s burglary of the Gebrüder Gumbold law office in Bern, Switzerland. Barry recalled Armstrong was very ill, but recorded the song in one take. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMxRDTfzgpU |
