Love songs...

[akmarksman]

So what's your favorite kind of love song?

Is it something like Coldplay's Yellow? Jem's Falling For You or something more rock/metal?

In other words? Artists like Dido,Jem,Sarah McLachlan,etc..

or do you whore it up with someone like Britney or Lady Gaga?

I prefer Dido,Jem and Sarah McLachlan.
I don't mind hearing Lady Gaga..but in my opinion in a vs. situation..I'll take Katy Perry over Gaga..

"You're the top" - Cole Porter

Most of the old hits from the thirties were great uplifting joyful romance songs because the context was a lot cleaner.

I love Warmness on the Soul by Avenged Sevenfold. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj2UdFAaDP8]

"Then" by Braid Paisley is a beautiful song.

 

[aezonrath]

I prefer something with a little bit of alternative/indie tune to it. Songs by Wannadies (Dreamy Wednesday, I love you love me) and Radiohead (High and Dry) comes to mind

Love Song, by Taylor Swift. Sorry, but I just love it. It's well written and a really lovely tune, plus I've always liked the idea of Romeo and Juliet, which the song is based on. By the way, Yellow is pretty damn good too, OP.

You're Beautiful- James Blunt
I normally don't listen to music like that, but I always really liked that song.

 

[Eleuthera]

I tend to have a thing for not-quite-lovesongs, ie songs of love failed (Saving Jane - "Happy") or love unrequited (Sarah McLachlan - "I love you")

Day Eleven: Love, by Ayreon.
Can't think of many other lovesongs that I even remotely like.

 

[LongAndShort]

Does "You shook me all night long" count as a love song?

Buscando Llegar hasta el sol- A.N.I.M.A.L. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c-8QQoVB2k]

I know its in Spanish, but I can understand some of it to know its a love song

Probably The Luckiest by Ben Folds:
"Next door there's an old man who lived to his 90's
and one day past away in his sleep.
His wife, well she stayed for a couple of days and past away...
I'm sorry. I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know we belong."

Spoiler: Teardrop by Newton Faulkner

A couple of my friends used this for their first dance when they got married a few weeks ago.

Props to the OP for name-checking Jem. I'm She's pretty cool.

 

[Jumping_Over_Fences]

I would have to say this sums up my position on Love songs and the like:

 

[Major_Sam]

Both are just so... *swoons in melancholy*

You knew you would put these on here! *swoons and faints*

 

[Cowabungaa]

You knew you would put these on here! *swoons and faints*

Weeeell I had a hard time choosing between Diamonds or Further Down The Road, but my jazzy self picked Diamonds in the end. Across The Stars was pretty much a given
