Whats your favorite Love song ? I would have to say Stone Temple Pilots " Still Remains" is up there for me.

Still Remains -

Our bed we live, our bed we sleep
Making love and I become you
Flesh is warm with naked feet
Stabbing thorns and you become me.

Oh, I'd beg for you,
Oh, you know I'll beg for you
Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave
If you should die before me ask if you can bring a friend
Pick a flower, hold your breath
And drift away ......

She holds my hand, we share a laugh,
Sipping orange blossom breezes
Love is still but sweat remains
A cherished gift unselfish feeling ...

Oh, I'd beg for you,
Oh, you know I'll beg for you.
Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave
If you should die before me ask if you can bring a friend
Pick a flower, hold your breath
And drift away ......

She tells me things, I listen well
Drink the wine and save the water --
Skin is smooth, I steal a glance
Dragon flies are flying over ...

Oh, I'd beg for you
Oh, you know I'll beg for you
Pick a song and sing a yellow nectarine
Take a bath I'll drink the water that you leave
If you should die before me ask if you can bring a friend
Pick a flower, hold your breath
And drift away ......

Grow Old with Me - John Lennon

Just beautiful...Mary Chapin Carpenter has a hair raising version...

I have a real soft spot for "Forever" by Eva Cassady

"Andmoreagain" by Arthur Lee and Love.

I thought this thread was going to be about the band Love from the 60s, in which case I'd have named four:

"Alone Again Or..."
"Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale"
"Hey Joe" (a good up-tempo pre-Hendrix version)
"The Castle"

EDIT: Dang, guitfiddle... great minds and all that. :D

Sir Psycho Sexy

There are three that actually come to mind -

Our Love is Like Deck Chairs on the Titanic
You're the Reason Our Kids Are Ugly
Your Toothless Smile Melts My Heart!

Sade - Ordinary Love is nice...

The Cure - Just Like Heaven

Nothing Else Matters-Metallica, or;
Rocket Queen by Guns N' Roses

The Honeydrippers version of "Sea of Love"

many of the Beatles with "Something" taking the top spot

"My Only Crime" by Into The Presence

Adieu - Enter Shikari

I'll just leave at bad taste...

Van Morrison - Someone Like You.

Great bass playing in that tune.

Any slow Bobby Womack can be pretty good at turning no into yes, yes, YES!

The classic "It's Hard to Say I Love You, When You're Sittin' On My Face"


But on a serious note My Funny Valentine, You Are So Beautiful, Song For You, and Unchained Melody.

Al Green - Let's Stay Together

"Silly Me" by the mighty ALL

'Onward' by Yes. I played it to my gf as it reminds me of her and she cried.

Also, 'Save Me' by Queen. Utterly beautiful.

you and me song - the wannadies

Flaming Lips - Do You Realize

Beta Band - Dry the Rain

Either "Diamons on the soles of her shoes" or "The Coast" by Paul Simon.

Would you consider Metallica's " Nothing else matters" a love song ?

'Onward' by Yes.

Wow, I thought I was the only person on earth who thought that was an excellent, if not the most excellent, love song! +10,000,000! Fabulous tune, unbelievably sincere & transparent from a band with a reputation for making things opaque.

"I'm Not in Love" by 10cc. My college girlfriend and I were going to use that as our "first dance" song if we ever got married. We didn't.

I'm a sucker for love tunes

I'll go with

Do fries go with that shake

I'll stand by you - Pretenders, nice bass line too.

Moonlight Sonata - Ludwig von Beethoven (maybe not a "love song" but lovely nonetheless:)) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQVeaIHWWck
I Need Your Lovin' - The Temptations

I thought this thread was going to be about the band Love from the 60s, in which case I'd have named four:

"Alone Again Or..."
"Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale"
"Hey Joe" (a good up-tempo pre-Hendrix version)
"The Castle"

EDIT: Dang, guitfiddle... great minds and all that. :D

Hot damn, Atoz...we both thought of Arthur Lee at the exact same moment! Who'da thunk it?

A Love So Beautiful, Roy Orbison

http://youtube.com/watch?v=dseJmnGPfGM


Every day of the year, it's THE pop ballad / love song, it just doesn't get better than this one, it has it all.

;)

D.Don

"Fade Away" - Todd Rundgren - Hermit of Mink Hollow

The Nurse Who Loved Me by Failure
i know it's technically a drug song, but i see it more as a love song

All I Had (I Gave) by Crowbar. :D

I Hate Every Bone In Your Body But Mine. Not sure who did it originally, but it always brings a tear to my eye.

Our singer plays a mixed CD while we get tuned up and tanked up that has this song on it. He says that version was C.C Deville. I have no idea if it was thwe original or not... I've never heard of that song outside the basement. Hilarious, though.

"Purple Rain" by Prince
"Layla" by Eric Clapton...Duane on Slide
"Wicked Game" by Chris Isaacs ...beautiful song

"And you and I" by Yes is quite nice as well...Chris Squire always laying it down.
"Looks Like Rain" by The Grateful Dead (Bob Weir tune) is cool too....Phil:D

I think it's funny how Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight was mentioned here. It seems to be a ubiquitous romantic tune in many circles (for example it's a big wedding song), but has anybody ever closely examined the last verse?

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

So let's see, he gets totally trashed at a party and gets his babe to drive them home. Then she helps him stagger into the house where he immediately crashes and says how great she is as he nods off in bed. Gotta love it!

Tie Between:

My One and Only Love
Fly Me to the Moon

Scorpions - Still Loving You

basically 60% of scorpions songs are love songs, and they write some good stuff lol :p.

turn of the century is my favorite love song by yes

onward is good though

(dont think its a love song, but "soon" is the most beautiful yes song of all)

Speaking of Yes....Heres a cool one by Jon Anderson with Tangerine:

"Loved By The Sun" from the movie Legend...I remember seeing that with my daughter years ago and the tears flowing.

Can't get enough of dennis brown, rip, died way too young..

this song is so good. http://youtube.com/watch?v=2FtMue__F4A

I'm a sucker for sappy ballads. Here's a few of my reggae favorites-
Willow Tree - Gregory Issac's version is my favorite
Loving Pauper- Dobby Dobson, Freddie McGreggor
Full Attention- Beres Hammond

Man, I got to see Freddie Mcgreggor live with new york orchestra and live reggae band(forget their name :( ) and john holt.... Great picks man, Freddie played all the classics and was just awesome(my favorite reggae show i've seen yet!, and ive seen so many).

Gotta love reggae and rocksteady... pure love music... how about cornell campbells queen of the minstrels, or precious time? or anything by alton ellis!!! :)

"And you and I" by Yes is quite nice as well

"And You And I" is a love song?!?!?!

Yeah, there's nothing quite as direct, intimate, and profoundly emotional as whispering in your sweetheart's ear

"A man conceived a moments answers to the dream,
Staying the flowers daily, sensing all the themes.
As a foundation left to create the spiral aim,
A movement regained and regarded both the same,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you.

Changed only for a sight of sound, the space agreed.
Between the picture of time behind the face of need,
Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid,
Emotion revealed as the ocean maid,
All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you."

All chicks dig that schidt


...not!

"Rosalita" Bruce Springsteen
"Follow You Follow Me" Genesis

- Genesis - "Hold on my Heart"

- Bonnie Raitt "I can´t make you love me"


...i love these Tunes....otherwise ToTo has some good Love Songs too.

You and I - Stevie Wonder

Here we are, on earth together, just You and I...

Elvis Presley - I Cant Help Falling In Love With You really warms the heart as well.

Cure - Love song :D:D:D

Right on...and Jack Off Jills Cover of Love Song

And I Love Her -- Beatles
I Knew I'd Want You -- Byrds

Love?- Strapping Young Lad.
LOVE
MAKE WAY FOR BREEDING

What?! Ben E. King - Stand by Me (still my favorite bass line ever, absurdly simple though it is, it is one of the main reasons I picked up bass)
Uh, +1000 to In My Life by the Beatles I like a lot of their songs but that's the only one I love
Lots of Roy Orbison songs, though 'Crying' makes me cry, In Dreams is good too.
So many more, that I can't even think of, I'm a hopless romantic.
P.S. - Sold my Soul by Black Label Society
Helps keep me sane in my line of work.
