Favorite Love Song?

[Detigr]

I've always been partial to Nat King Cole's "L.O.V.E."

 

Old, classy and just a phenomenal tune to hum ;).

[ben is a sandwich]

both lovesong (cure) and the luckiest (ben folds) are fantastic mentions.

 

i'd have to go with veruca salt's cover of depeche mode's "somebody."

 

or, better yet, "set the ray to jerry" by the smashing pumpkins.

 

yeah. that one.

[no yu begin wher i end]

Layla - Eric Clapton

 

Goddamn Lonely Love - Drive-By Truckers

 

True Love Waits - Radiohead

You're right about The Perfect Drug. It is spectacular.

 

Something Corporate - Konstantine. I don't actually like Something Corporate, and the guy's voice is pretty annoying. But it reminds me of some things.

[Moonlight_Graham]

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica

With Or Without You - U2

Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper

Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers

 

thats just some.

I'm glad so many people went with Perfect Drug, I love that love song, and it also rocks hard. When I used to get all crushy on girls, Song for the Girl was what I would sing when I was feeling shitty, to remind me that I need only think of someone to feel dandy, to make that lighting fine. As it were. I like less corny love songs for less corny reasons, I just can't think of them right now. Most recently I remember really liking the message of love in Singin' in the Rain, from the film Singin' in the rain. And that last sentence reminds me that I like Message of Love by the Pretenders. But it doesn't speak that much to me in the romantic love way, more the hippie, love everyone sorta way, but the thread title didn't specify.

 

I just thought of a good use of the love song as being used in an ironic way to express... non-love? Condi, Condi by Steve Earle. I suspect he in fact does not love Conalingus Rice. (could not be bothered to look up proper spelling)

I will choke until I swallow...

Choke this infant here before me.

What is this but my reflection?

Who am I to judge and strike you down?

 

But you're

Pushing and shoving me.

You still love me and you pushit on me.

 

Rest your trigger on my finger,

bang my head upon the fault line.

Take care not to make me enter.

'cause if I do we both may disappear.

 

But you're pushing me,

Shoving me. Pushit on me.

 

Slipping back into the gap again.

I'm alive when you're touching me,

Alive when you're shoving me down.

 

But i'd trade it all

For just a little bit of

Piece of mind.

 

Put me somewhere I don't wanna be.

Seeing someplace I don't wanna see.

Never wanna see that place again.

 

Saw that gap again today

As you were begging me to stay.

Managed to push myself away,

And you, as well.

 

If, when I say I may fade like a sigh if I stay,

You minimize my movement anyway,

I must persuade you another way.

 

There's no love in fear.

 

Staring down the hole again.

Hands upon my back again.

Survival is my only friend.

Terrified of what may come.

 

Just remember I will always love you,

Even as I claw your fucking throat away.

But it will end no other way.

I always get a happy kind of feeling with Placebo's I Do...

[sockcrotch]

i'd say either tiny dancer by elton john, or any number of sarah mclachlan songs

[Shiri]

Your Song by Elton John is wonderful as well.
