Thread Name: Favourite love songs...?
Subject: RE: Favourite love song...?
I can't really think of any I especially like for being love songs.
Two of us, and For No One are good McCartney love tunes. Honey Pie.
Dylan's I Want You, and the one that starts My Love she speaks like silence...
Khandu, I can't think what Tull song "Love Story" is, but I love that a guy's wife wrote the lyric to Aqualung about him, and he wrote Cross-eyed Mary about her. I really think that's lovely, somehow. Also liked Wond'ring Aloud.
Did someone already mention Romeo and Juliet? Mark Knopfler.
John Hiatt's Learning How To Love You.
Simon and Garfunkel, Ccelia. I love sluts, I guess. Among my slutty friends, when I was a kid, Meatloaf's 2 Out Of 3 Ain't Bad was considered the greatest song ever written. That still breaks my heart.
Lucinda Williams, several songs.
For some reason I get a kick out of Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers' Why Do Fools Fall In Love.
Red River Valley. Come and sit by my side if you love me--that's a great first line.
