Your Favorite Love Song

[Tequila Sunrise]

Normally I'm not a romantic guy; I don't watch romance movies or read romance novels [unless they're primarily action]. I don't believe in fairy tale romance or True Love. But I'm a sucker for love songs -- often it's the cheesiest ones that get me singing along in the car when I should be watching the road.

So, what's your favorite love song?

And what is it about them that's so empathetic?

[toasty]

Rose of Sharyn - Killswitch Engage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D83hEzgxQTQ)

Okay, its actually a bit more of a Dirge than a Love Song, but its still amazing. :smallcool:

[valadil]

Hrmm.

VNV Nation - Beloved
Rush - Cold Fire
Moxy Fruvous - Love Set Fire
Great Big Sea - Dream to Live
Dream Theater - Speak to Me

Not traditional love songs (as evidenced by Rush, "This is not a love song; this isn't fantasy land") at all, but they're what I like. Actually I think they're generally more angsty than lovey, which isn't at all surprising if you know me.

[Pyrian]

Recent, rather direct, and very, very cool:
For You I'll Bring the Devil Down (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ncAoR7ejs8)

[Drakevarg]

"Another Love Song" by Queens of the Stone Age.

Not sure why. Just like it.

[Dr.Epic]

This seems more the type of thing to go in the media section.

[ghost_warlock]

Rx Queen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk1jO6q05QM) by deftones.

[reorith]

Rx Queen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk1jO6q05QM) by deftones.

"i'll steal a carcass for you then feed off the virus cause you're my girl and that's alright" if that aint love then i don't know what love is.

my favorite love song is sleeping beauty by a perfect circle.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Deeper Than the Holler by Randy Travis.

I'm a hopeless romantic who appreciates a good love song. Plenty more that come close but the above tops them.

[Starfols]

To be honest, you walked right into this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&feature=related)

[arguskos]

To be honest, you walked right into this one. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0&feature=related)
Bamdumtish. Well played sirrah.

Also, my personal favorite is Bohemian Like You, by the Dandy Warhols. >_> Also, Love Spreads by the Stone Roses is pretty good (if esoteric).

[reorith]

isn't love spreads about martyrdom?

[skywalker]

A few favorites:

Hard to Concentrate - The Red Hot Chili Peppers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2-5rnk9yHU)
Stellar - Incubus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nqRkAsZumc)
Your Song - Ewan McGregor (in this particular version) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0V6OFldcUs)

Maybe more later?

[arguskos]

isn't love spreads about martyrdom?
ie. Esoteric. I simply associate it with romance, for some strange damn reason. :smallsigh: Knew someone would call me on it...

[purple gelatinous cube o' Doom]

He drinks tequila (and she talks dirty in Spanish) by Lorri Morgan and Tracy Byrd.

[Temotei]

Wither. :smallcool:

[Innis Cabal]

While not one of their best. The Mountain Goats and any song they do about love is on my top how ever many (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYCzDhaRV60)

A real love song, much more then above (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRP6egIEABk&feature=related)

[Temotei]

:smallbiggrin:

My girlfriend is a country fan (ew). Her favorite is Love Story, methinks.

[The Extinguisher]

"I Want to Know Your Plans (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZQmFClnuOM)"

[Innis Cabal]

:smallbiggrin:

My girlfriend is a country fan (ew). Her favorite is Love Story, methinks.

I'd honestly call them folk rock. Hardly country

[Starfols]

Wither. :smallcool:

Wait, this (http://www.wither.cc/) Wither? :smallconfused:


A real love song, much more then above (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRP6egIEABk&feature=related)

No Children singlehandedly made me a Mountain Moats fan :smallamused:.

[Temotei]

I'd honestly call them folk rock. Hardly country

Taylor Swift?

Meh. Either way, she likes Country and she likes Love Story.

No. Never heard of that Wither. This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBdVCLWluj4) Wither. :smallamused:

I'm a fan of Dream Theater.

[Innis Cabal]

No Children singlehandedly made me a Mountain Moats fan :smallamused:.

Ya....it has that effect I assure you. Their discography is -huge-. And I mean, staggeringly huge. But most of its well worth it. I wish I could post more songs, but Youtube is sadly sparse with them which is an honest to god shame

Its live, but its still a love song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3o3sl_8rUE&feature=related)

[Recaiden]

A few favorites:

Stellar - Incubus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nqRkAsZumc)


Seconded. Great song.

[Starfols]

No. Never heard of that Wither. This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBdVCLWluj4) Wither. :smallamused:

I'm a fan of Dream Theater.

I was gonna say. They're really, really obscure, and not exactly 'favorite song' material, to be honest :smallconfused:.

I know what you mean- one of my friends has the full discography (:smalleek:) and I haven't listened to even half of it once.

[Krade]

Colour My World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUr6VIWoPk4) by Chicago.

Good stuff.

[drengnikrafe]

Highway 20 Ride. The country song by The Zac Brown Band. Just because it's about how much he cares about his kids that he hardly gets to see after a divorce doesn't mean it isn't a love song. It's family love. I cry every time I hear this song.

Every Time We Touch, by Cascada. Maybe not so much anymore, but once upon a time...

[Temotei]

I was gonna say. They're really, really obscure, and not exactly 'favorite song' material, to be honest :smallconfused:.

Not that obscure. Well, at least, John Petrucci isn't. G3 2005? Hehe. :smalltongue:

Eh. They're my favorite band, but that isn't my favorite song. It's my favorite song that's at least close to being a love song. :smallbiggrin:

[Ravens_cry]

Kiss Me-Sixpence None the Richer. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32rasDF7jtQ&feature=related)
It sings of wistfully remembered innocent summer memories and summer love.

Your Song-Elton John (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13GD78Bmo8s)
Its earnest honesty and the joyful glory heard in the chorus.

[Starfols]

Not that obscure. Well, at least, John Petrucci isn't. G3 2005? Hehe. :smalltongue:

Eh. They're my favorite band, but that isn't my favorite song. It's my favorite song that's at least close to being a love song. :smallbiggrin:

Oh, I was talking about Wither :smallredface:.

Dream Theater is pretty popular from what I've seen, and they very much deserve it :smallcool:.

[Temotei]

Oh, I was talking about Wither :smallredface:.

Dream Theater is pretty popular from what I've seen, and they very much deserve it :smallcool:.

I was confused at first as to whether you meant the band Wither or Dream Theater. :smallamused:

Agreed. They hardly get any radio publication, but that's okay in my book. Radio stations tend to like shorter songs...

Anyway, I think we're deviating from the main topic. :smallbiggrin:

[Worira]

Although I can't really pick a single favourite, I'll just name one I've listened to recently.

Somebody (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4-IOvcB-I4), by Depeche Mode.

Elton John has a ridiculous number of beautiful, heartfelt love songs. One of his more recent ones: Freaks in Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL5MCrNedf0).

[Amiel]

Not exactly a romantic love song per se, but it is a love song.

The World Is Just Awesome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98qOGY0). This, definitely this.

[golentan]

Once in a Blue Moon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddaF_9bCMSA&feature=PlayList&p=92FA6E4F3B07D8B2&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=24)

By Sydney Forest.

I like her songs. All 3 of them (dumb joke).

[Ravens_cry]

Not exactly a romantic love song per se, but it is a love song.

The World Is Just Awesome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98qOGY0). This, definitely this.
Yes, a love song to pale blue dot hanging in a lonely sky. I love her dearly as well.:smallsmile:

[Nameless]

Omen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUwkvx4EZhA).

... What? It's a love song... :smalltongue:

[KuReshtin]

Going back to an earlier generation of love songs.

Bill Withers - Ain't No Sunshine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIdIqbv7SPo)
Bill Withers - Use Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3hBYTkI-sE)

And a bit more recent:

Santana Ft. Dave Matthews - Love of my Life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R0DcUywBrY)

And I can't say that it's a personal favourite, but it needs to get a mention:
This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wYFf3YFnCE)

[Felixaar]

Probably "I Will I See You Tonight" by Archie Roach.

"Don't think about sorrow
Hurting or Pain
Don't think about tomorrow
Or will I see you again
Again?
I will I see you tonight..."

Heh. It sounds like the ultimate justification for a one night stand, but it is a beautiful song.

[Thufir]

Love is a Series of Scars - Duke Special (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brKbMcbMH_4)

[smellie_hippie]

Love Song by the cure.

Green Eyes by Coldplay

I'll think of more later.

[Cyrion]

Reasons for Waiting- Jethro Tull
Crazy Love- the Thea Gilmore version was our wedding song
Neverland- Marillion
The Other Half- Marillion
Lullabye for a Stormy Night- Vienna Teng (Love song for your child rather than your lover)

[thorgrim29]

Babe by Styx, Hello (the northern kings version), and I'd do anything for love by meatloaf. Yeah, I'm a hopeless romantic, and I like cheezy rock love ballads, so sue me

[Castaras]

Within You - David Bowie
Script for a Jester's Tear - Marillion
Afterglow - Genesis

Within You has my favourite lines in it for a love song - "Live without the sunlight / Love without your heartbeat..." Chilling and romantic at the same time.
Script For a Jester's Tear is beautiful, and strange. And wonderful. And awesome. The lyrics are awesome. "As you grow up and leave the playground / where you kissed your prince and found your frog / Remember the Jester who showed a tear..."
Afterglow is so simple. Crafted with simple lyrics (I miss, you more...), and such a simple melody behind it. Really really effective. My favourite love song of all.

I guess it's the lyrics that make me like a love song, and the music and lyrics in combination that make me adore it.

[Tequila Sunrise]

Your Song-Elton John (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13GD78Bmo8s)
Its earnest honesty and the joyful glory heard in the chorus.
I'm glad you posted this, because it's my favorite love song of all time. The Ewen McGregor rendition has that stage musical exuberance, but I prefer the original. I like how it's written as one side of an awkward conversation, which makes it so human. I also think it's great how universal Your Song is; it makes no mention of gender so it could be for or about anyone -- whether straight, gay, man or woman.

When I finally settle down with a special woman, I hope Your Song becomes 'our' song.

[Mauve Shirt]

I Hold Your Hand In Mine - Tom Lehrer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjPhFSlhOuQ)

[Cyrion]

Script For a Jester's Tear is beautiful, and strange. And wonderful. And awesome. The lyrics are awesome. "As you grow up and leave the playground / where you kissed your prince and found your frog / Remember the Jester who showed a tear..."

I'll grant you great lyrics and imagery, but love song? It's always struck me as kind of bitter or cynical (much like most of the lyrics from their early stuff). The kissed your prince and found your frog line is a good case in point.

[Zen Monkey]

Queen - One Year of Love
Garbage - #1 Crush
Stone Temple Pilots - Still Remains
Sting - Fields of Gold
Lily Allen - Littlest Things

[The Rose Dragon]

Us - Regina Spektor.

Also, Somedays - Regina Spektor.

[Marillion]

No Children by The Mountain Goats (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRP6egIEABk), although it's really more of a hate song.

Woke up New, also by The Mountain Goats (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bSdRizGYb0)

Tallulah By Sonata Arctica (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElosAD8vUvo)

Morning on Earth by Pain of Salvation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61LLjdbJtJo), the only not-depressing song I posted

Yeah....

[Castaras]

I'll grant you great lyrics and imagery, but love song? It's always struck me as kind of bitter or cynical (much like most of the lyrics from their early stuff). The kissed your prince and found your frog line is a good case in point.

It's sort of a bitter love song. It's about him being upset that he lost his love, I guess, which sorta constitutes a love song imo :smalltongue:

[Marillion]

God I love that song. And that band. As you may have guessed. :smalltongue:

Beautiful, for a less contested example (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_GzPCJWTmE)

Also Lavender (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7sIzWKHGwQ)

[Castaras]

Can't mention Lavender without Kayleigh. :smallbiggrin: And can't mention any Misplaced Childhood songs without mentioning White Feather and Childhood's End. :smallamused:

Misplaced Childhood is an amazing album.

[SurlySeraph]

Rose of Sharyn - Killswitch Engage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D83hEzgxQTQ)

Okay, its actually a bit more of a Dirge than a Love Song, but its still amazing. :smallcool:

"It won't be long, we'll meet again, my love for you is everlasting"? That's not terribly dirge-like.

Oh, and seconded. At one point in my life, I listened to that song for several hours on loop every day for a week.

[skywalker]

I'm glad you posted this, because it's my favorite love song of all time. The Ewen McGregor rendition has that stage musical exuberance, but I prefer the original. I like how it's written as one side of an awkward conversation, which makes it so human.

Ewan's version is more grand. Which apparently is what I'm into at the moment, reference this:


Not exactly a romantic love song per se, but it is a love song.

The World Is Just Awesome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98qOGY0). This, definitely this.

In that same spirit, Seasons of Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8iTeDl_Wug).

[Dirk Kris]

Can't narrow it down to just one, but here are a few that always make me melt:

"Hello" - Lionel Ritchie
"All I Ask of You" - Phantom of the Opera
"Love Song" - 311 version
"Stellar" - Incubus
"From This Moment" - Shania Twain
"Private Emotion" - Ricky Martin

[Temotei]

Garbage - #1 Crush

...garbage? Crush? Maybe I'm reading too much into this.

[zeratul]

Two of my favourite love songs are probably

Drown Together ~ Sentenced (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzYNfmGFbic) (a love song about a suicide pact)
and

Such Great Heights ~ The Postal Service
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXEq7WiINa4)

[Cyrion]

I'll Have to Say I Love You In A Song- Jim Croce

[SilentNight]

Ramble On-Led Zeppelin, I think if counts as a love song. Also, The Nearness of You- Various, mostly for the fact that I can play and sing it.

[Tequila Sunrise]

One of my favorites is Alison Krauss' The Lucky One (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P7J1_hZ7iM) and Norah Jones' Not Too Late (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5E1I-doX88). I kinda understand that Norah is too mellow for the radio -- she'd cause too many car crashes -- but it's amazing to me that Love Story (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haPVCe3ENDA) gets played like Taylor recently died, but we never hear the equally awesome Alison Krauss.



Elton John has a ridiculous number of beautiful, heartfelt love songs. One of his more recent ones: Freaks in Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HL5MCrNedf0).
No kidding! One of my favorites (yeah I have a lot) is Tiny Dancer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qn3tel9FWU), not Tony Danza. I rented and watched Almost Famous just because of that song.


Once in a Blue Moon

By Sydney Forest.
Never heard her before, but I like Once in a Blue Moon. Nice and mellow.



I like her songs. All 3 of them (dumb joke).
Is that like when someone refers to the three Star Wars movies?

@KuReshtin: Stevie Wonder is great.

@Cyrion: So is Jim Croce.

[GenPol]

By Guns N' Roses:
--Patience
--November Rain

By Nirvana (At least I think that these songs are about love... I really don't know with the lyrics, but I get the feeling.
--Heart-Shaped Box
--Lithium

[Dexam]

Such Great Heights ~ The Postal Service
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXEq7WiINa4)

+1 to this.

Also, quite possibly the most incredibly romantic song in the history of the world on the subject of accidental digital amputation:

"Your Arms Around Me" (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=dXA3kgZYRmw) by Jens Lekman.

:smallbiggrin:

[Blaine.Bush]

It Makes No Difference - The Band (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJXc0NRCmRQ)

[SDF]

Pints of Guinness Make You Strong - Against Me! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wkZGMktFCw)

It's a sad story, a lurve story.

Holland, 1945 - Neutral Milk Hotel (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCjpbjCH5L0&feature=fvst)

A love song about Anne Frank. And then everyone told Jeff Magnum how his album was the best thing ever written so he got freaked out and never made music again... :smallfrown:

[the doomed one]

Skullcrusher Mountain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_ryNJVreiY) Best. Love-song. Ever.:smalltongue:

[RabbitHoleLost]

Love Song by the cure.

Green Eyes by Coldplay

I'll think of more later.
These are two of my favorites...
I think I'm going to list all of mine, though some are very, very sad or bitter >>

But Sad/Bitter love is still love, isn't it?

Heaven (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DnVUMBTGO8)- Cat Stevens (Though, I guess since I prefer this version, its actually Yusuuf, isn't it?)
Gray Matter (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqhD31nr9Eg)- Jewel
Maybe, Someday (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT6AblX0WcE)- The Cure
There Is No "If" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIOQl1JrSKM)- The Cure :smallfrown: (I'm gonna cut The Cure off there, since I own everything they've ever done...ever. Complete discography. And I could seriously list pretty much every song they've ever done ever....)
Do You Want to Know A Secret (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtPLldNw8Wk)- The Beatles
In My Life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2d2llB4oIQ)- The Beatles (Actually, if I ever get married, this WILL be my wedding song. NO negotiations.)
Sonnets/Unrealities XI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1iUgm0rQr0)- Bjork
"Heroes" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQFuNHCMF2Y)- David Bowie
Say You Love Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D9xVvZ8Xc4)- Fleetwood Mac (My boyfriend made it grow on me >>)
Noone's Boy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0EZ2mw7TUg)- Marcy's Playground (somewhat pg-13 language mkay)
Push (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=esLRlir7eyk)- Matchbox 20
I Want The One I Can't Have (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ORkQxBawKM)- The Smiths (LAWL PEDO SONG)
Miserable Lie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhtQUyDMm-s)- The Smiths
Wrapped Around Your Finger (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gondjza0sUs)- The Police
At My Most Beautiful (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sVSLIXAEMM)- REM
The One You Love (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFenIIR47VU)- Rufus Wainwright
Conditional (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTVsCpZklxA)- Tracy Chapman
Happy (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7X1po2U4pk)- The Wrens
I See You- Yes
She's Always a Woman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM9-ijq3TI4)- Billy Joel
Hide and Seek (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYIAfiVGluk)- Imogen Heap (I don't know if this actually counts...)
The Scientist (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmjPrdTNxQ0)- Coldplay

[SDF]

(I'm gonna cut The Cure off there, since I own everything they've ever done...ever. Complete discography. And I could seriously list pretty much every song they've ever done ever....)

Honestly I don't know where Robert Smith gets his sad material. The dude has been with the same girl since he was 14, the jerk.

[RabbitHoleLost]

Honestly I don't know where Robert Smith gets his sad material. The dude has been with the same girl since he was 14, the jerk.
And they're just so in love. I don't know, either.
The man says its not about him, but I just don't know...

[Em Blackleaf]

Hide and Seek (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UYIAfiVGluk)- Imogen Heap (I don't know if this actually counts...)
I think the song is about someone who loves someone and has convinced herself that it's not reciprocated.
OR it really isn't reciprocated.
OR she's falling in love with someone despite an unwillingness to fall in love with them (making herself believe that he doesn't "care a bit").

I don't know. Those lyrics are too confusing. But The Walk- Imogen Heap is more of a love song. I think it's also about falling in love despite an unwillingness to fall in love ("I feel a weakness coming on").

So, though bitter, these songs could be love songs.

Mine are...
Swallowed in the Sea, Green Eyes, 'Til Kingdom Come (I dunno if that counts...) and many other love songs by Coldplay.
I Will Follow You Into the Dark- Deathcab for Cutie
I Think I'm in Love- Beck
Never Met a Girl Like You Before- Flogging Molly
Iris- Goo Goo Dolls
I'm Yours- Jason Mraz
The Too Much Song- Lemon Demon

There's more, but I can't think of them.

[Coidzor]

Of the ones I've had to sing, "Till There Was You" and "Night and Day" are both pretty high up on my list. I don't have a dusky or husky enough voice for Night and day, sadly. Love to hear a woman with a voice that is dark like tinted glass sing it though. Hoo. Greensleeves is always a great one, but not really what this thread was asking for though.

As far as ones to listen to for myself... hmm... Not sure, really. Hmm... Skullcrusher Mountain by Jonathan Coulton is probably the one I listen to the most... as it's one of my music alarms to keep me from sleeping in. Italian Leather Sofa by Cake is sort of catty-corner to it all, but, not really a love song.

When I was younger it was 500 Miles... by whoever the heck did it back in the 90s.

[Yarram]

Well...
Definitely "A Nightingale Sang at Berkeley Square" is the best love song in the world.

[Marillion]

As The World Falls Down by David Bowie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xZAABsOM7A)

Making Love Out Of Nothing At All by Air Supply (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lE6Htee0sA)

[KuReshtin]

When I was younger it was 500 Miles... by whoever the heck did it back in the 90s.

Proclaimers, methinks. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM0sTNtWDiI)

I also remembered a few others.

Kiss From a Rose - Seal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMD2TwRvuoU) - Probably the best thing to come out of 'Batman Forever'. ok, I liked the back and forth between the Riddler and Two-Face as well, but still.
The Rose - Bette Midler (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oR6okRuOLc8) - It's just got that feel to it. It's a great love song.
Love is All Around - Wet Wet Wet (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQQ6SfPZggw) - Done to death, I know, but still a decent enough love song.

[Pyrian]

As The World Falls Down by David Bowie (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xZAABsOM7A)I love that song, although it's inextricably bound in my head to Labyrinth in general and the Labyrinth Masquerade (http://www.labyrinthmasquerade.com) in particular. :smallbiggrin:

[RabbitHoleLost]

I should probably add that anything David Bowie/Labyrinth-esque is probably on my list =P


I think the song is about someone who loves someone and has convinced herself that it's not reciprocated.
OR it really isn't reciprocated.
OR she's falling in love with someone despite an unwillingness to fall in love with them (making herself believe that he doesn't "care a bit").

I don't know. Those lyrics are too confusing. But The Walk- Imogen Heap is more of a love song. I think it's also about falling in love despite an unwillingness to fall in love ("I feel a weakness coming on").
Yeah, there's always those.
But, I take it as a love song because of what it means to me, and the point it came into my life.

Imogen Heap love!

[Syka]

This is a recent favorite of mine. It's got a kinda old school feel but he sounds so...happy to be with the person in question.

Everything- Michael Buble (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPUJIbXN0WY)


Now these two are my real favorites. It has been for a few years now because it has pretty special meaning. When Oz and I were doing long distance we would trade songs, and stuff like "Hard To Concentrate" by the Chili Peppers and some Incubus stuff was on there and I loved it, but these two were just...well, it fit so well and still does.

Hey There Delilah- Plain White T's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbJtYqBYCV8) He actually sent me the lyrics to this once, but with my full first name in place of Delilah. It was adorable.

I Will Follow You Into The Dark- Death Cab For Cutie (http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=3285299) It's this version of the video, not the live action one. Seriously...you can't beat bunneh's.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meat Loaf ( Not sad.. But not "good" love either )

Stop right there! I wanna know right now!
Before we go any further do you love me?
Will you love me forever do you need me?
Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
Will you take me away and make me your wife?
I gotta know right now
Before we go any further do you love me?
Will you love me forever?

How could I have forgotten that?? D:
