Tolerable love songs

Metatwaddle · Post by **Metatwaddle** » 2007-03-12 11:06pm

A few days ago someone asked me to name a love song that I didn't find nauseating, and I couldn't think of any off the top of my head. I'm sure there are some, because I'm in a great relationship so my tolerance for sappiness is more than it used to be, but I can't think of any such songs. Can anyone recommend some songs whose lyrics are about how awesome the singer's object of affection is, but which don't make you want to throw up on the spot?

Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing, Angel (I think), Love or Confusion, and does Purple Haze count?

There's a lot of Motown that rides the top of the crest for pop music.

"And I Would Do Anything For Love" by Meatloaf has such great cheese factor in its favor I always enjoy it.

'Northern Sky' by Nick Drake
'(Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For' & 'Into my arms' by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
'Fire in my heart' by Super Furry Animals
'Disco girl' by BMX Bandits.
'Just Like Fred Astaire' by James

To me at least a not only 'tolerable' but wonderful love songs.

At My Most Beautiful by REM can get me misty.

(link is some random guy's relationship compilation, but it has the best sound)

1. She Moved through the Fair (hey if O'Conner, Enya, and others can all cover it, then a ballad from the 1700s counts)

2. Share the Shelter-Bob Marley

3. Keep me in your heart for a while, Tenderness on the block, La Amore (something) -Warren Zevon

4. Not Fade Away- Buddy Holly

5. Into Her Arms-Nick Cave and the bad Seeds

others I just can't think of right now.

Hazel Eyes, by The Darkness. Lovely.

If you can stand tem, the Pipettes' I Love You is good, too.

Awesomely enough, The Darkness are reforming.

Without Justin Hawkins.....

And under a different name....

Yeah, that works

I can't figure out why I forgot Van Morrison

as "Gloria" and "Brown Eyed Girl" have always been favorites of mine.

Type O Negative - Be My Druidess (my all time favourite make out song, fyi).
or Love you to death

"She Loves You" by the Beatles. More a song about love and relationships, but it's a good one.
"Dulcinea" from Man Of La Mancha. Knightly romance at it's finest.
I'll always have a soft spot for the Blues Brothers so "Everbody Needs Sombody to Love"
And I'll second or third every Meatloaf song already on the list, as well as adding Paradise by the Dashboard Light even if the ending isn't very loving.

how could we forget barry white....

The Cooler King · Post by **The Cooler King** » 2007-03-14 02:59pm

Here's a few, off the top of my head.

"I Walk The Line", by Johnny Cash
"In The Midnight Hour", Wilson Pickett
"Storybook Love (from 'The Princess Bride'), Mark Knopfler
"Sweet Child o'Mine", Guns 'n Roses
"FNT", Semisonic
"Angel of Harlem", U2 (maybe not a LOVE song, technically, but still good)

Did you just suggest the Numa Numa song?

Vehrec · Post by **Vehrec** » 2007-03-14 03:38pm

Yeah, he did. I've seen the lyrics translation, it counts.

The song is great. How it was butchered by MySpace kiddies is irrelevant.

"Amazed" by Lonestar (they have a lot of beautiful love songs)
