Valentine's Day Playlist

[mself084]

Valentine's day is coming up... I know it sucks, and was made up by the stores to get poor suckers like me to spend money on their loved ones, but my girlfriend really likes it...and seems to expect alot.

 

Anywho, I was thinking of making a sappy playlist on her ipod, in addition to a gift or 2... but I don't know any good lovey dovey kinda songs to put on it. Do you guys have any suggestions?

 

Signed,

Damned straight.

 

More suggestions

 

Let's make love Tonight - The Isley Brothers

 

Turn Off The Lights - Tendy Pendergrass

 

Almost anything by Barry White

 

Angel - Sarah Mac

 

Possesion (Solo Piano)- Sarah Mac

[Shiri]

Most of my favorite love songs are rather depressing but here are some fun/positive ones:

 

You And Me Song - The Wannadies

Lovesong - The Cure

At My Most Beautiful - R.E.M.

Blue Light - Bloc Party

Inflatable - Bush

Fade Into You - Mazzy Star

Angel - Aerosmith

Your Song - Elton John

Nobody Knows Me - Lyle Lovett

The Book Of Love - Peter Gabriel

 

That's all that comes to mind right now.

For some reason, I keep thinking of cynical love songs (La La Love You by Pixies), but the one genuine love song I can think of right now is Glycerine by Bush. I don't actually know what the song is about, but I percieve it to be about love.

[bishopx]

Glycerine is definitely tops. And Shiri's list is damned near perfect.

 

 

Wild Horses - The Sundays or Bush

 

Nightswimming - REM

 

Fall On Me - REM

 

Save All Your Love - Great White

 

Send Her My Love - Journey

[Shiri]

Glycerine is about a break up or something like that but it's definitely beautiful. Wouldn't put it on a Valentine's mix though, it's not a really positive song.

[bishopx]

Little Wing - Stevie Ray Vaughn and Sting's versions

 

I guess you're right...I like it because my cousin uses it as lullaby for my niece...he does it acoustic, it's very sweet that way

 

Sister Moon - Sting

 

Led Zep - The Rain Song

[borntohula]

slayer - "exile"

[Audio of Being]

One More Night-Phil Collins

 

Follow You, Follow Me-Genesis

 

In Too Deep-Genesis

 

Hold On My Heart-Genesis

 

Groovy Kind of Love-Phil Collins.

 

And many others by Phil Collins and Genesis.

Fade Into You - Mazzy Star

Good songs Shiri. I pretty much have never heard anyone talk about Mazzy Star but me.

 

Basically anthing by Bryan Adams <3

e.g's

Everything I Do I Do It For You, Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman, When You Love Someone ;)

[soundless_space]

How about Ryan Adams - So Alive. Yesss.

[no yu begin wher i end]

Kind Of Blue - Miles Davis

Yes!!

 

This record turns me on (in a hetero kind of way).

[Seanathon]

Most anything by Lifehouse and (as mentioned) Bryan Adams.

[sodamntired]

Hayden - You Are All I Have

 

If you go away I don't think that I will survive

I'll wait outside the front door 'till you arrive

The light of day will shine inside of your eyes

Inside your eyes I'll see me there by your side

 

 

and DEFINETLY: The Verve - Lucky Man

 

 

I once listened to this song with a girlfriend of mine while we just looked in each other's eyes. She started crying. it was an amazing moment.
