Captain Beefheart's 'My Head Is My Only House Unless It Rains' is my perennial fave.

My favorite at the moment is "The Water is Wide," which I first learned over 60 years ago from an old book of Tyneside songs when very few knew of this magnificent song's existence. Now it is a world favorite, and deserves to be.

But tomorrow I might choose, say, Newfoundland's own "Peggy Gordon," maybe? Or Robert Johnson's "Come in My Kitchen?' Or ...

Love indeed,

Bob

Have you heard Donal Og, it is a very beautiful Irish Love song.
I had a version on an LP recorded by Al O'Donnell which I lost. Was it recorded by anyone else ?

I agree with Sweet Thames too, even forgiving Wapping and No Stopping...

But my best of all has to be Nic Jones singing Ten Thousand Miles.

You made me love you.

a great one for ragtime/blues guitar. the chord progressions are Blind Blake in the key of G. And the E chord is just so powerful if you play it Broonzy style.

It seems like most love songs are pretty sappy so the good stuff really stands out:

Just in Time by Styne, Comden and Green.
Love Walked In & Our Love is Here to Stay by George and Ira Gershwin.
If I Needed You by Townes Van Zandt.
For All We Know the one by Harold Arlen(?).
Anachie Gordon, a sad one.
Jock O'Hazeldean
Flow Sweet River Flow by Ewan McColl.

With everything that is going on in the world at the moment it is good to look at the world from another perspective. In an attempt to provide a brief moment to reflect on what is good, what is your favourite love song - either at the moment or all time?

For em at the moment it is Stan Roger's 45 Years.
