Erik Christensen Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 What is everyones favorite love song?-what song stirs your romantic heart?

ChristopherSchlegel Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Depends upon my mood. A quiet, pleasant mood leads to Irving Berlin's Isn't This A Lovely Day; "Let the rain pitter patter, but it really doesn't matter ..." Charming. Or Richard Rodgers' & Larry Hart's My Romance; "Wide awake I can make my most fantastic dreams come true ..." Beautiful. A loud, boisterious mood leads to Van Halen's So This Is Love?; Diamond Dave: "Big double take, but ya keep on walkin'!" Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEgoist Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 It is probably by the Ramones, that is for sure. Or Dion and The Belmonts. Or the Beach Boys. Yeah, one of those three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brikufa Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 "Love you madly" by cake. Describes my feelings when I'm single, and when I'm taken. Great, great song. Once I listened to it 26 times in a row according to my mp3 player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zip Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 When my wife and I started going out it seemed every time we did Madonna's "Crazy For You" was playing. I also really like "18th Floor Balcony" by Blue October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrock3215 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) Liszt's Liebesträume No. 3 (literally means 'Dreams of Love' in German). Music was written to a poem by Ferdinand Freiligrath: O love, so long as you can! O love, so long as you may! The hour is coming, the hour is coming, When you will stand by graves and weep!!

Alethiometry Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I like parts of Silhouette by Thrice a lot.

TheEgoist Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) So I've decided. It's "I Wanna Be Happy" by the Queers. It's a song more about longing for a girl than actually being in a relationship, which is more of what i have related to the last few years. It's about a girl who everyone thinks is too good for the narrator. Pretty corny, but corny is what I like. The lyrics are simply and non-pretentious and the melody has the same rhythm of the 50s with a punk sound. The Queers are masters of that. Short, sweet, poppy, sappy and sentimental. However, Unchained Melody is another good choice. What an intense song. Edited March 8, 2009 by TheEgoist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMERICONORMAN Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I fell in love with this song when I was thirteen. It is certainly one of my favorites to sing. Hmm. That gives me an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMERICONORMAN Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I discovered Marc Anthony first with his romantic slower salsa songs. I am totally in love with this guys voice. Jennifer Lopez is a fortunate woman. This song is from Zorro. What a wonderful treat when this song came out. It is one of those times in life when accident creates a very solemn experience: Zorro AND Marc Anthony!?

themadkat Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 "Slide" The Goo Goo Dolls "Love Me Like Music (I'll be your song)" Heart And my favorite, "Anywhere" by Evanescence: "Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me and Dear my love, haven't you longed to be free I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you and Come sweet night you are my own Take my hand We're leaving here tonight, There's no need to tell anyone, they'll only hold us down So by the morning's light We'll be halfway to anywhere, where love is more than just your name" And because love has a dark side: "Every Breath you Take" The Police "Big Empty" Stone Temple Pilots "Enough of Me" Melissa Etheridge and of course... "All the Same" Sick Puppies "I don't mind where you come from, as long as you come to me But I don't like illusions I can't see them clearly I don't care, though I wouldn't dare to fix the twist in you But you showed me eventually what you'll do I don't mind, I don't care, as long as you're here Go ahead tell me you'll leave again, you'll just come back runnin' Holding your scarred heart in hand, it's all the same And I'll take you for who you are, if you take me for everything Do it all over again, It's all the same" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim A. Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 My favorite is probably "Can You Read My Mind?", as sung by Maureen McGovern. The music is from the movie Superman, but the song is never sung in the film--the lyrics are spoken, by Margot Kidder. It works quite well in the movie; nevertheless, it is wonderful to hear the words sung. Here's the YouTube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYZidVGhQqc. (Incidentally, when the words read out on the screen and they say "...a god or a fool..", I believe McGovern actually sings "...a god...I'm a fool".)

Thales Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 The Way You Look Tonight I couldn't find just a normal version, but it's a great song. Yeah, the Reggae tinge doesn't work. Try this link, the first song on the list: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fusea...riendID=8657050 There are so many love songs ... but one that sticks out for me is Brown Eyed Girl, by Van Morrison, because it reminds me of a girl I know. Van Morrison took everything off the web, except live performances, which aren't too good, unfortunately. The best I've heard is Van Morrison's studio version. Also rans just don't work well with this song. Crystal Gayle, Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu29ji0WVXk This is a love/lust song. Deep Purple, Hush. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ilz5SxrHA3E This is a love song for the self: Whitney Houston --- Greatest Love of All http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KjpyHX7X-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kainscalia Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) My favorite love song of all time comes from an Opera, Samson et Delila, by Camille Saint-Saens. It is the aria "My heart opens up to your voice.." And my absolute favorite version, that I think captures EVERYTHING that is said in this piece, is by the amazing American mezzosoprano, Shirley Verret: Translation My heart opens to your voice, like the flowers open To the kisses of the dawn! But, o my beloved, To dry my tears the best, Let your voice speak again! Tell me that to Dalila You will return forever, Repeat to my tenderness The oaths of other times, the oaths that I loved! Ah! respond to my tenderness! Pour the escstasy! Just as one sees the blades of wheat fields undulate Under the light breeze, So trembles my hear, ready to be consoled, by your voice which is dear to me! The arrow is less quick to carry death, Than is your love to fly into my arms! Ah! resond to my tenderness! Pour the ecstasy! Samson! Samson! I love you! The second one is One Furtive Tear from the Opera The Elixir of Love by Donizetti (which I just sang in, actually, as the lead role of Nemorino, who sings this aria). My favorite version is sung by Tito Schipa, but I couldn't find any clips of it, so I give you my second favorite version, by Beniamino Gigli: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Uij_2Zxq7U Translation: A sullen and secret tear Appeared in her eyes Those young girls Seemed to provoke her jealousy... What more searching need I do? She loves me! If I could, for a moment, feel The beating of her heart, And feel her sighs confounding With my own... Oh Heavens! Then I could die; I ask for no more!
