Love songs

Inkblot's picture

Hello all,

What do you think of love songs? Any pet-peeves? Favourites? Other stuff?

To answer my own question:

In general, I find them irritating, but I like a select few. I just hate the crappy pop type ones.

Favourites:
'You Belong To Me', Tori Amos
'Lovesong' The Cure
'Some Kind Of Stranger' The Sisters Of Mercy
'Good Old Fashioned Loverboy', Queen

Petpeeves: crappy pop-type lovesongs.

So, what do you think?

hmmmm

I really like Wonderwall by Oasis and I don't know why. Petpeeves: Touching food without washing your hands and talking on the cell while driving.

There are some really sweet love songs. I like the ones in Disney Movies (Shoot me) and broadway tends to do a good job about them. *is a romantic ol' fool at heart*

Be yourself. Because if you're busy being someone else, then who's gonna be you?

Iris

I love that song Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls.
I like that song Wicked Game by Chris Isaak too.
I wish I had a favorite song.
I hate 80s Power Ballads. If I ever hear one of those, I think I will puke.

Ew 80's ballads

Ya, I could do without the power ballads. The thing is that almost any song could be a love song. Open Window by Sarah Harmer has made the top of my list, but one time I heard my friend sing "O mio babbino caro," an opera piece by Puccini, and it was the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. It's about a girl loving someone she can't have I think.

I like some love songs like:

I like some love songs like:
Good Ol' Fashioned Lover Boy by Queen
Truly, Madly, Deeply by Savage Garden
and a new favorite
Would you go With me? I think it is by Josh Turner
But I like the more techno ones like Heaven by D.J. Sammi and Yanou or Listen to Your Heart by DHT.

most of what i think of as "l

most of what i think of as "love songs" most people wouldn't define as "love songs". there are only a few that could really be called love songs:

"Blower's Daughter" By: Damien Rice
"Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered" By: Ella Fitzgerald
"I Don't Love you Much Do I" By: Guy Clark
"The Way you Look Tonight" By: Tony Bennett

Yeah, i pretty much hate the pop-crap they're spewing out these days. at least it isn't boy bands anymore though...

"Yes! No! Oh, damn!"

The Nose Is Back

Computer problems. Anyway, my faves are 'White Flags' by Blue Oyster Cult, and 'Moonglum', by Hawkwind, but Moonglum is a different kind of love song. It's about unconditional love. It's subtitled, 'Friend Without A Cause', and it exists because of the Elric stories by Michael Moorcock. Very depressing and entertaining set of books.

Here's a cool art link of how various artist represented the albino sorcerer:

I can't stand most pop love songs. The lyrics are repetative and stupid.

Some new favourites...

~Only Fools Rush In-Elvis Presley
~I Get Ideas-Tony Martin
~It's Only A Paper Moon- Ella Fitzgerald (I think. I know she did a version, just don't know if it was the original)

I love old music. Nobody writes songs like that anymore.

Do I shock you darling?
-Sally Bowles, Cabaret

songs that make me feel warm n fuzzy

Dunno if these are technically love songs..
'Heartbeats' - Jose Gonzales
'Sparks' - Coldplay
'Theultimatepunkrocklovesong' - COBC
'Flames' - Vast
'Memories Of You' - Ryan Adams
'Maps' - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
'Luna' - Smashing Pumpkins (i think that's what it's called)
That's all I can think of right now...

i agree that i dislike

i agree that i dislike popish love songs in general (tho its weird, i don't mind pop if i'm listening to it with my friend kello, just bc she is so passionate about it) i don't know of that many love songs that i head over heals like, tho i hate just any that are too stereotypical, here are some off the top of my head....

i'll follow you into the dark- death cab for cutie
d'yer mak'er- led zeppelin
bargain- the who (probably my favorite)
on ice- chris thile

hugs, luck, and peace

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.

love songs make me feel alone :( especially if i listen to them alone. but there are three that i like, and are on the scissors sister's newie "ta-dah". "The Other Side", "Might Just Tell You Tonight" and "Land of a Thousand Words".

however, there are probably many many more that i like but i've forgotten. i'm like that.

Love Songs

I've always really hated love songs until I started imaging the person singing was singing to a person of the same sex. That made it all better, and I pretty much like all love songs that arn't gender specific.

I like love songs when I'm in love. When I'm not, I find they just remind me that I'm not, and that bums me out.

Quantity with quality

If you want some interesting love songs, look no further than the album 69 Love Songs by The Magnetic Fields. I tell my friends that the song Underwear is my theme song.

Love songs suck...

(when you're not in a relationship.)

Breathe You In- Thousand Foot Krutch
Love Hurts- Incubus
Dig- Incubus
Stellar- Incubus
Diamonds and Coal- Incubus
Oil and Water- Incubus

^I think we can tell what my favorite band is^

Pet Peeves- people that talk with food in their mouth, people that don't listen to other people, and people that hurt themselves because they can't help it.

Take my fucking hand
and never be afraid again.

i loooove somewhere only we

i loooove somewhere only we know by keane- this song just makes me feel in love (eventhough im one hopeless romantic!), and the scientist by coldplay.

Sticks and stone can break my bones, but names won't hurt me!

yep_im_a_stalker's picture

idk who put this band on this forum (i dont remember)..

But last night I fell in love with The Magentic Fields.

My favorites by them are Absolutely Cuckoo (my friends agree with me that it sounds like it was written just for me!), Chicken With It's Head Cut Off, and Let's Pretend We're Rabbits (I showed that one to my friend Bunny and she couldnt stop laughing)

So whoever put them on the forum, THANK YOU!!!!!
