The first and maybe the best version

[Xipe Totec]

2. What a lovely song

Always reminds me of this one...

[PaddyBlueEyes]

6. Coincidence...

I think not...ILY :hug:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

4. Eva Cassidy

:loveya:

[Xipe Totec]

9. That was sweet

A very pleasant song.

But is that, in your opinion, the greatest love song ever sung?

Thank you for posting a lovely song. :hug:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

33. Perhaps not the greatest

I love many others. But it's definitely one I want at my wedding. :D :hug: :hi:

[PeaceNikki]

5. This one

Especially the 12 string acoustic.

[Xipe Totec]

7. Hold that thought...

I have a conference call...

Boston-Arizona-San Francisco-Beijing...

Back in an hour....

[Xipe Totec]

8. Back sooner than I expected...

That was some awesome guitar playing...

good post, thanks!

(I LOVES ME SOME BLUES...)

[PeaceNikki]

11. Yeah, I am a huge sap for the blues, too

And I prefer Chicago live blues to Memphis, TYVM.

Here's a terrible video of a FANFUCKINGTASTIC artist in Chicago - a regular at Kingston Mines:

:thumbsup:

[Xipe Totec]

10. This is a sad one

Piensa en mi:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X2GPkQEXNM

Think of me,
When you dream,
When you cry, also,
think of me.

Take my life
whenever you wish
I don't want it for anything.
It serves no purpose,
without you.

[gemdem]

12. There are many, but this one is special

I can't find the original, so this will have to do...

The Association - Never My Love:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZs6kO4XLAU&feature=related

[grace0418]

13. It's a tie between "The Luckiest" and "Message to My Girl"

Both give me goosebumps. I've never been able to get through "The Luckiest" without crying.

Here's the Luckiest (Ben Folds)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cwlL9tZo30

Here's Message to My Girl (Split Enz)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUC_jE78FNE
Of course, the original version of this sounds very eighties, but to hear Neil Finn sing this now with just him and a piano is AMAZING. I've had the pleasure of seeing him perform this live a few times and it's so incredibly beautiful.

:loveya:

14. Amanda - Boston

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqBD_rmIU4A

Babe, tomorrows so far away
Theres something I just have to say
I dont think I can hide what Im feelin inside
Another day, knowin I love you
And I, Im getting too close again
I dont want to see it end
If I tell you tonight will you turn out the light
And walk away knowin I love you?

Im gonna take you by surprise and make you realize,
Amanda
Im gonna tell you right away, I cant wait another day,
Amanda
Im gonna say it like a man and make you understand
Amanda
I love you

And I feel like todays the day
Im lookin for the words to say
Do you wanna be free, are you ready for me
To feel this way
I dont wanna lose you
So, it may be too soon, I know
The feeling takes so long to grow
If I tell you today will you turn me away
And let me go?
I dont wanna lose you

Im gonna take you by surprise and make you realize,
Amanda
Im gonna tell you right away, I cant wait another day,
Amanda
Im gonna say it lik e a man and make you understand
Amanda

You and i
I know that we cant wait
And I swear, I swear its not a lie girl
Tomorrow may be too late
You, you and I girl
We can share a life together
Its now or never
And tomorow may be too late

And, feelin the way I do
I dont wanna wait my whole life through
To say Im in love with you

[Jamastiene]

15. The Rose - Bette Midler

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6_s0QIbI94&feature=related

I bawl like a baby every time I hear it. :cry:

If I ever met Bette Midler, I would probably drop to my knees and worship her. What a great singer!

[Urban Prairie]

16. For timeless mushiness I would pick Unchained Melody

By the Righteous Brothers:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-idDbIfGvw

This love song was also very popular in the early 70s, as well the theme song to a perfect date movie:

Yes, the big-haired folk-punkers wrote a love song:

[elleng]

21. Maybe not my # 1 favorite,

[Iggo]

25. All my favorite ones are breakup songs.

[redqueen]

26. Couldn't pick just one ... The Beatles' I Will is *way* up there though.

Some other favorites...

The Beatles - In My Life
The Temptations - Stand By Me
The Beatles - PS I Love You
Radiohead - True Love Waits
Rilo Kiley - I Never
Etta James - At Last

[Missy Vixen]

27. My Funny Valentine

My funny valentine
Sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art

Is your figure less than Greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?

But don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little valentine stay
Each day is valentines day

Elvis Costello does my favorite version of it.

[Iggo]

31. I like the Chet Baker versions.

Vocal and instrumental (All Three)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvXywhJpOKs

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug2LQxOe53Q&feature=related

So beautifully generic.

[mitchum]

34. That's what I was going to post...

I like someone's description of Baker's voice as "sounding like being seduced by the void"

[Iggo]

40. Seduced by the Void.

That's cool, daddy-o. Real cool.

[MissMillie]

This tune has haunted me for many years:)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4D5_QC5GB7I

[Highway61]

39. "If I Should Fall Behind"...Bruce Springsteen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J69e6dgUwHQ

We said we'd walk together baby come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
If as we're walking a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me

We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side
We'd help each other stay in stride
But each lover's steps fall so differently
But I'll wait for you
And if I should fall behind
Wait for me

Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
So let's make our steps clear that the other may see
And I'll wait for you
If I should fall behind
Wait for me

Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
Darlin' I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me

[8 track mind]

42. H-A-T-R-E-D by Tonio K

"Philandering" and "malign" used in the same song!

For the years I pissed away on you, I'm so full of
H-a-t-r-e-d,
I'm bitter, I'm malign.
You got me p-i-s-s-e-d off,
I'm angry most of the time.
Why don't you g-o t-o h-e-double L,
You tramp, you philandering bitch.
I'm going to k-i-l-l one of us, baby,
Give me time and I'll decide on which

Well, I wish I could be mellow,
Like, you know, Jackson Browne.
But "Fountain of Sorrow" my ass, motherf!cker,
I hope you wind up in the ground.

[Oldtimeralso]

[fizzgig]

45. one of my faves

the cure - this twilight garden

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig-W2Bkth4U

I lift my lips from kissing you
To kiss the sky
Cloud soft and blue
And slow the sun melts down
Into your golden words for me

I lift my hands from touching you
To touch the wind that whispers through
This twilight garden
Turns into a world
Where dreams are real

No one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No one will ever take your place
So in love with you

I lift my eyes from watching you
To watch the star rise shine onto
Your dreaming face and dreaming smile
You're dreaming worlds for me

I lift my lips from kissing you
And kiss the sky wide deepest blue
And slow the moon swims up
Into your golden words for me

No one will ever take your place
I am lost in you
No one will ever take your place
So in love with you

[buzzycrumbhunger]

46. Just one?

Sexiest lyrics, unsexiest video (or maybe I'm just a sucker for Brad Roberts' voice. . .)

But my all-time favorite love song has to be Duke of Prunes. (OMG--they chop the damned thing in two parts!) Lovely beans, magic go-karts, neck-biting, and cheese. What girl wouldn't fall for this? :)
