You know I'm a sucker for a beautiful love song and I thought I'd ask you what song gets your vote for the most beautiful love song? The love song that I like the most is "So Amazing" by Luther Vandross (It's so amazing to be loved) heart. So, whose song just makes U want to be in love?


Grow Old With Me - John Lennon

Grow old along with me
The best is yet to be
When our time has come
We will be as one
God bless our love, God bless our love
Grow old along with me
Two branches of one tree
Face the setting sun
When the day is done
God bless our love, God bless our love
Spending our live together
Man and wife together
World without end, world without end
Grow old along with me
Whatever fate decrees
We will see it through
For our love is true
God bless our love, God bless our love"

This is the last song John Lennon ever recorded before he was murder, makes me sad when I hear it. But a beautiful song it is.





Simply beautiful-just like John Lennon wink .

Wasn't it meant to be, at least partly, ironic? As in the context of all the material he wrote after breaking up with some of the women he had been dating during that period (mainly PJ Harvey I assume)?



everything he writes has some irony in it, but i can't believe he wrote that song with mean-spirited intention.

Easy choice for me...I Only Have Eyes For You - The Flamingos

Funny, because that was my other choice. I had a tough time deciding between the two. I made a love song compilation recently and those two songs opened and closed the set.

"On And On" by Kevin Max

You are the sunshine
I am the rain that falls in line
You are a candle
And I am your darkness
You are the moonlight
I am the cloud that passes by
You are a vision
And I am blindness

And so it goes
The story is far too old to know it all

**Chorus**
On and On, we dance until the song is off the radio
On and on, we hold each other long after the crowd is gone
On and on, our love goes on and on

You are an island
I am the raging of the sea
You are a fortress
And I am abandoned
You are the valley
You are the bird that flies so high
You are a temple
And I am a beggar

And so it goes
The story is far too old to know it all

Chorus

Take me to your drawbridge, come take me to your door
Take me when I'm hungry, baby, take me when I'm poor
Take me when I'm sick of love, take me when you've had enough
Take me when I'm lost, alone, and don't know the reasons why

Chorus

You are a vision
And I am blindness
"She made me glad to be a man"

Holding On To You (by Sananda/TTD)


I left the east side for a west coast beauty
A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me
Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty
A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes
Her face was my favourite magazine
Her body was my favourite book to read

They say that all poets must have and unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you means letting go on pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you

I left the rough side for a seaside baby
A chamomile smile that pouts on cue
For every moment I breathe her sigh
Her bosom contains my sweet alibi
In an emotional mist she breathes in fog
And breathes it out as garden flowers
Why me of all the tough talking boys?
I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of the rain
Holding on to you
Means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you means letting sorrows heal
Means letting go of what's not real
Holding on to you

I left the east coast for a west coast beauty
A woman who burned my thoughts like kisses
She was down by street decree
She swore she'd pull my best years out of me

Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas
Goodbye Picasso hello Dolly/Dali
The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod
She's my new religion she's all I got

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love
As all lovers I'm sure must have thought provoking fears

But holding on to you means letting go of pain
Means letting go of tears
Means letting go of rain
Means letting sorrows heal
It means letting go
With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A....

I don't think I'm genuinely hip to what love is, but if i had to choose a song that relates to a close feeling, I'd have to go with "Seasons" by Terence Trent D'Arby.

Since everyone is posting their song's lyrics...

When 2 R In Love

So fair she looked 2nite,
The brightest star appeals 2 your sex.
Before we do anything,
Let me just talk 2 U.

When 2 R in love
They whisper secrets
Only they 2 can hear
When 2 R in love

When 2 R in love (love)
Their stomachs will pound
Every time the other comes near
When 2 R in love

When 2 R in love
Falling leaves will appear 2 them
Like slow motion rain (slow motion, slow motion)

When 2 R in love
The speed of their hips
Can be faster than a runaway train

Drop, drop, drop, drop, water, water, water

Cum bathe with me
Let's drown each other in each other's emotions
Bathe with me
Let's cover each other with perfume and lotion
Bathe with me
Let me touch your body 'til your river's an ocean
Bathe with me
Let's kiss with one synonymous motion

Nothing's forbidden and nothing's taboo
When the 2 R in love
l.o.v.e. - l.o.v. - Can U hear me?

When 2 R in love
Their bodies shiver at the mere contemplation
Of penetration (let alone the act)
Let alone the actual act

When 2 R in love
The thought of his tongue in the V of her love
In his mind, this thought it leads the pack

Cum bathe with me
Let's drown each other in each other's emotions
Bathe with me
Let's cover each other with perfume and lotion
Bathe with me
Let me touch your body 'til your river's an ocean
Bathe with me
Let's kiss with one synonymous motion
Nothing's forbidden and nothing's taboo
When the 2 R in love
(Love) in love - Can U hear me?


Tell me that shit don't speak about love on ALL levels... wink

Bjork - Cocoon
...

Who would have known
That a boy like him
Would have entered me lightly
Restoring my blisses

Who would have known
That a boy like him
After sharing my core
Would stay going nowhere

Who would have known
A beauty this immense
Who would have known
A saintly trance
Who would have known
Miraculous breath
To inhale a beard
Loaded with courage

Who would have known
That a boy like him
Possessed of magical
Sensitivity
Would approach a girl like me
Who caresses cradles his head
In a bosom

He slides inside
Half awake, half asleep
We faint back
Into sleephood
When I wake up
The second time
In his arms
Gorgeousness
He's still inside me

Who would have known
Who ahhh
Who would have known

A train of pearls
Cabin by cabin
Is shot precisely
Across an ocean

From a mouth
From a
From the mouth
Of a girl like me
To a boy
To a boy
To a boy
Space for sale...

I tried posting that one earlier but got org hiccups.It's so gorgeous.
Also love
Van Morrison ~ Have I told You Lately (That I Love You)
Van Morrison ~ Someone Like You and even though it has that cruel little twist kd Lang's version of Love Is Everything is another one that just makes you want someone to love you that much.
Bjork's Cocoon is definitely one of my top choices too!

I'm not a huge Nick Cave fan, but I absolutely love that song. I think he's a great ballad artist. I've just never been quite won over by his rockers or mood pieces. maybe someday....

At his peak, Ray Davies was the most consistently melodic songwriter in pop music. I'm not sure if it's accurate to call them love songs, but

Waterloo Sunset and
Village Green

are impossibly lovely.

I always interpreted it to have the sort of "it's going to go belly-up in the end"-vibe in the lyrics and the way he sings it. Especially in the context of the other songs on the album (think of "Idiot Prayer"), it even to certain extent mocks the intellectual difference of the two lovers involved: "I don't believe in an interventionist God, and I know darling that you do". And I think right there on this very first line is the seed for the rest of the thematology of the album to shape up.

Man, I'm just not deep. To me, this is a guy saying: he wouldn't want to make this person love him.
He wouldn't want God and the angels to intervene and make her love him, but to keep her safe and to keep directing her back to him. He seems to want her to love him on her own/to stay on her own. And that seems to be the thing he does believe in...that they will have a future together.

I don't know Nick Cave or his work but this song is nice.
