I will Love You, by Fisher |
"Slave to love" by Brian Ferry always comes to mind. |
Chatta,
Thanks, did I mention that she's my ex wife?
That makes it even 'nicer'.
She is, after all a terrific person.

"I Watch You Sleep" from Shirley Horn's album Softly. Just perfect. |
Nice present from your wife Larry.
There are lots of love songs i really like. The song i like the most is "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" by Elvis. |
"Duet" by Rachael Yamagata and Ray Lamontagne in Rachael Yamagata's CD titled Elephants. |
What a fun thread...another song, which is basically a throwaway by most standards--perhaps it was a moment in time...in other words my mood, hormones whatever...but the song was "Mr. Dyingly Sad" by the Critters.
My wife found it on a website and got it for me as a gift a few years back, bringing back in very real focus what I was thinking and feeling at that moment in time.
Who says we can't time travel?

"Faithfully" by journey. Cant forget those days. |

Love Song by Bruce Cockburn |
What becomes of the Broken Hearted, Joan Osborne and the Funk Brothers. |
Ramsey Lewis title: Love Song
From the '74 LP Sun Goddess
Earth, Wind, & Fire are also a featured part of this smash recording.
Those were the days. Strolling through the international marketplace of Waikiki playing back the sounds of Love Song through a portable cassette player. |
Mr Sandman, bring me a dream, make him the cutest that I've ever seen. Give him two lips like roses and clover. Then tell him his lonesome nights are over.
Mr Sandman, I'm so alone. Don't have no one to call my own. So please bring on you magic beams, Mr Sandman, bring me a dream!
They don't write them like this anymore.
Sorry, now you have it in your head for the next two days! |
'Into the Mystic' by Van Morrison...fell in love to it.
Song for the first dance at my wedding: 'I love to see you smile', by Marge and Homer Simpson. Good stuff.
Now that I'm divorced I'd go with 'Smack my Bitch up' by The Prodigy. :-D |
"Cheek to Cheek," as sung by Fred Astaire. Although, I suppose it's more of a seduction song than a love song. ;) |
Madam George / Van Morrison, Astral Weeks |

You're Breakin' My Heart - Harry Nilsson |
"The look of Love", latest favorite version is by Shelby Lynne. |
|
"I trusted you" by Andy Kaufman |
"Dusk And Summer" by Dashboard Confessional from the Dusk And Summer Album. |
"I Only Have Eyes For You", The Flamingos |
Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen |
I just have to second "Close to you" by the Carpenters if for no other reason than the sexually cathartic moment I experienced as a young teen hearing to Karen's gorgeous voice. "Long Ago" is right there. |
Mandocello- by Cheap Trick |
Love Ballad .... LTD
Reasons ... earth wind and fire .. |
At this point in time it's "Our Love is Easy" by Melody Gardot. |
oops, I thought the heading was favorite song. Under The Milky Way is not a love song. |
Under The Milky Way by the Church. Plenty of postings on this one on you tube. Check it out. |
"You give love a bad name" by Bon jovi |
"Presense of the Lord" Blind Faith |
The perfect love song has to be Valentine's Day by Steve Earle on his "I Feel Alright" album. |
My ONE favorite love song? It's so hard to pick - anything off of the first Black Sabbath album. |
Hard to say for sure, but this ranks highly...

hi all ! My pick ? Wildflower by Skylark ...great vocal by Donnie Gerrard |
This is my second posting of this thread. I nominate "Our Love Is Easy" by Melody Gardot. Tender, sexy, and adoring all mixed in together. |
Breezin'
Back in, 1978, I believe it was, I was on the way home from work and heard this incredible song--didn't know who the artis was, but damn, he was singing what he was adlibbing, and adlibbing what he was playing! Incredible.
I thought then that Benson would be the second comming. But marketing tallent is as tough as anything.
THAT was a magic moment.
Thanks for reminding us Berzin.

Inside my love -Minnie Riperton just mind blowing |
"This Masquerade", the version written by Leon Russell and performed by George Benson from his album Breezin'. I'm referring to the long version which clocks in at 8 minutes and 3 seconds, not the radio edit that leaves out the stunning piano solo by Jorge Dalto.
One of the few love songs that speaks to the realities that all of us have experienced one way or another-the end of a relationship, where you are left with your head spinning thinking how in the world did something so great turn out so messed up.
Maybe it's NOT a love song after all...LOL!!! |
Any time someone mentions Karen's voice, I'm agreeing!
God that girl, for my taste, had the most hauntingly beautiful voice ever given to anyone.
On the man's side Nat 'King' Cole had the best male voice. Those two, I could listen to forever.
As to the best love song--recently, I dug out an old song from the '60's--'Mr. Dieingly Sad' by the Critters is about the prettiest melody and words I've ever heard.
What a great thread!

"Close to You" - The Carpenters |
You're My Meat--Joe Jackson from the album Jumpin' Jive.
Closely followed by 'Cause Cheap Is How I Feel-Cowboy Junkies album The Caution Horses |
"Tears of a Clown" Smokey Robinson |
"Somewhere in the Night" by Carly Simon is my favorite. |
|
C'mon...Somebody must have a favorite song by Schubert or Purcell I've already voted in this thread, nominating a song from a Broadway show, but based on a liberal interpretation of the phrase "love song" I'll give an honorable mention to Brahm's "Alto Rhapsody." Particularly the 1947(!) recording by Kathleen Ferrier. Regards, -- Al |
