So many, too many, right? But which ones have been right on point for you?

Whether in appreciation of a current love, in justification of an unattainable "torch", or for no other reason than to celebrate the glory or the pain of love.


YouTube - Isley Brothers- Living for the Love of you

Had to edit for this one:

woot! Wonderful thread :-) let's see... I literally breathe love songs... sometimes the inner focus is to God ... to a hope for darling... to the past... to a pretty flower in the field... or even about work .. (those tend to be hateful songs of love etc)

Favorites are hard because it depends on my state of mind and heart... do I feel full of tenderness... lust... aggression... gentleness... rage... painful ache etc... so a favorite is almost impossible... maybe this way... what songs for the moment...

For work : ludo - Horror of our love

YouTube - Death Note amv - Horror of Love

For love's pain :Let It Be

YouTube - Let It Be

For love's aggression: Francesco Albano Open Ensemble - Of these, hope

YouTube - Francesco Albano Open Ensemble - Of these, hope

a bunch more but am running out of time and need to finish something...

A good thread tho... will learn a lot from it :-)

Well.. the 1st love song that ever got my attention was Danny's Song by Loggins & Messina.. not sure if I could put into words exactly what it was about it that resonated with me but it's always been special.

U2's "One" -- Quibble if you will the notion of this being a song about a one-on-one relationship, romantic or otherwise, but when it was released I was dealing with the end of a romance where just about every word described that relationship. Fifteen years later the hair on the back of my neck goes up when I hear that song.

"When Will I Be Loved," Linda Ronstadt -- Quite popular with us unattached college girls!

"The Things We Do For Love," 10CC -- For those days when you just can't win.

"Lover," The Michael Stanley Band -- Song's about a guy racing to get home so he can fight for his girl. But the rhythm and instrumentation are mournful and slow and loping, and you're thinking "He's never gonna get there in time!"

"Time After Time", Cindy Lauper

"And I Love Her," The Beatles

"Sweet Dreams," Patsy Cline

These three are very different from each other and describe different aspects of love to me.

The first is a song that I shared with someone I was in love with...


YouTube - Throw your arms around me - Hunters & Collectors

This one is the lighter, fun, honeymoon type feeling when you first fall in love..


YouTube - Madness - It Must Be Love

This one is the darker slightly screwed up kind of love, someone who is trying to fill the empty spaces in himself through another....


YouTube - The Cure - Lovesong

I think Mary J Blige sings about love like no other modern R&B singer.. she is a great talent!
She's the kind of artist that sounds better live than on a recording.
Here is a recorded/processed version of one of her songs about love: Real Love.


YouTube - MARY J. BLIGE Real Love (1992) High Quality

Love Mary J. Blige, Flagrrrl, and that song was when I first got hip to her.

In case I haven't linked this Smokey classic, I'm gonna do it. Sugary, corny, sappy? Maybe but I love, "Baby, baby, don't cry". .... "Too bad it was him that you trusted, it's time that you got readjusted..."
