K-Mac Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Good Morning by John Legend Good morning, Good morning love, It's my favorite love song, I waited all night long, (verse 1) Before you get into the shower, Before you worry about your hair, Baby give me one more hour, I want you to stay right there, I don't wanna lose a moment, I don't wanna miss a kiss, If i could plan the perfect day, love, Then i would start it just like this, (Chorus) Good morning, Good morning love, It's my favorite love song, I waited all night long, For morning, Good morning love Before we start the day dear, I'm whispering in your ear, Good morning. (verse) Baby how can i convince you, Make it so you can't resist, Whatever else you have to do now, It can't be half as good as this, I'll chase you underneath the sheets, love, And i won't let you get away, The day won't be complete, love, Unless we get a chance to say, (Chorus[x1]) (Bridge) Open your eyes, See my sun rise, I feel you're scared, So warm inside, Day breaks so sweet, When you're next to me, So stay every night, So each morning will be, (Chorus) Let's get lost together, I will smile forever(x2), Was morning You Make Me Feel So Young by Frank Sinatra You make me feel so young You make me feel like spring has sprung Every time I see you grin Im such a happy individual The moment that you speak I want to go and play hide-and-seek I want to go and bounce the moon Just like a toy balloon You and i, are just like a couple of tots Running across the meadow Picking up lots of forget-me-nots You make me feel so young You make me feel there are songs to be sung Bells to be rung, and a wonderful fling to be flung And even when Im old and gray Im gonna feel the way I do today cause you make me feel so young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thales Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 Here is the good version of Brown Eyed Girl, by Van Morrison. You need to make an account with imeem, but I recommend it, because they have tons of great music free to listen to. http://www.imeem.com/dorquezinha/music/alM...rown-eyed-girl/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsprat Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Before I list some favorites of mine, let me say that to me, a good love song should be happy and deliver a romantic sense of life (both in the literal and the Randian meanings of that phrase). Some lonely rocker bemoaning the girl he lost forever may be perfect for certain emotional occasions but does not constitute a love song. Also, many of the pop song love songs are overplayed and completely lack musical talent, by either the performers or the musicians. Their chord progressions are predictable at best and leave nothing to the imagination, making me say, hey, I understand how he/she feels. Having said that, I actually find there are very few love songs in the world worth listening to. Sarah Brightman/ Jose Cura - English translation of lyrics Sarah Brightman/ Alessandro Safina - "Sarai Qui" (Cover originally by Faith Hill) Eric Johnson - "Song for Lynette" Faith Hill - "Beautiful" Joe Satriani - "Always With Me, Always With You" Jonny Lang - "Touch" Don't bother searching these on YouTube if I didn't already link them. Either the versions are terrible or covers or something (example: the Jonny Land rap remake - gross). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laure Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 Tsprat, Satriani's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yc8xyL0Xxo, seconded! My link is to a live version that I like even better than the video; he plays it slower and, I think, more perfectly. Such a gorgeous song, and so obviously a love song even without any words. On this video, take a look at Joe's face at around 2:50. He's a man in love -- not sure if it's with a girl, his guitar, his music, or his life; maybe all of the above.

It's from his album "Timeless." I think that's his best album, and you're right, he is always more on his game when he plays live. Philosophically speaking, he probably is in love with his life or a woman, though he does love music a great deal too. Politically, the guy is sort of a socialist weasel, but as is the case with most guitar players (myself excluded), they think with their emotions all too often.

prosperity Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 There are so many... but I will pick one. I agree with you. There are so many. One of my new favorites is by Cole Porter: De-lovely. I think it's charming, playful, plus I challenge anyone to listen to it and try to resist smiling at least once during the song. It's been redone so many times, but Alanis Morissette I think did a decent job. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na2zm7uayqA&NR=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadmonson Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) One of my favorites is "I Will Be Loving You" by Jesse Powell Since singing is a hobby of mine I mostly listen to people who can really sing.

Downfall08 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 There are so many... but I will pick one. The Magentic Fields' original is much better than this version, imo. As for my favorite, I think I have to pick The Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whYNOT Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Don Henley of the Eagles wrote some fine love songs (in his hard-ass way). But my all time favourite, that's stood the test of time, is "The Rose", by Bette Midler. Also sung by Janis Joplin. 'Some say love it is a river, that drowns the tender reed, some say love it is a razor, that leaves your soul to bleed........................... Just remember, in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows, lies the seed that with the sun's love,in the spring, becomes the rose.

Thales Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 Since I've been listening to Jim Croce lately, he wrote a love song that I love. Croce was a folk singer who was great at writing songs in that genre and he had a superb voice to go with it -- he died in a plane accident while very young. An example of a song he wrote is "Bad Leroy Brown", and he had several other big hits. He is one of my favorite folk singers. The song is only two minutes, thirty seconds long.

Topliner Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 A couple of my favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcN5Vaqd9sg, by The Sundays The lyrics are beautiful, and Harriet Wheeler has the voice of an angel: Do some people wind up with the one that they adore In a heart-shaped hotel room its what a heart is for The bubble floats so madly will it stay sky-high? Hello partner, kiss your name bye-bye Ooh sometimes... Romantic piscean seeks angel in disguise Chinese-speaking girlfriend big brown eyes Liverpudlian lady, sophisticated male Hello partner, tell me love cant fail & its you and me in the summertime We'll be hand in hand down in the park With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye & all the sunshine banishes the dark Do some people wind up with the one that they abhor In a distant hell-hole room, the third world war But all I see is films where colourless despair Meant angry young men with immaculate hair Ooh sometimes... Get up a voice inside says theres no time for looking down Only a pound a word & youre talking to the town But how do you coin the phrase though that will set your soul apart Just to touch a lonely heart & its you & me in the summertime We'll be hand down in the park With a squeeze & a sigh & that twinkle in your eye & all the sunshine banishes the dark & its you I need in the summertime As I turn my white skin red Two peas from the same pod yes we are Or have I read too much fiction? Is this how it happens? How does it happen? Is this how it happens? Now, right now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOMuK7YYxeg, by Jefferson Starship I've always thought this was a perfect song for a wedding: Precious love I'll give to you blue as the sky and deep in the eyes of a love so true beautiful face you make me feel light on the stairs and lost in the air of a love so real And you can count on me girl you can count on my love woman you can count on me baby you can count on my love to see you through Emerald eyes and china perfume caught on the wheel and lost in the feel of a love so soon ruby lips you make my song into the night and saved by the light of a love so strong CHORUS: See you thru ....oooh you can count on me girl you can count on my love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake_Ellison Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 This is more about the interpretation than the song itself (I don't generally like 3 minute love songs), but it is brilliant. It makes me shiver every time: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
