01 Oct 01 - 11:15 AM (#562554) Subject: RE: Help: Fallen in Love From: GUEST,Mandolodeon What is "this love will carry"?
I already let him listen to "I'm your man" - I think he thought I was a bit kinky! But it made him smile
Its great to feel that wobbly feeling when I go to see him, or just giving him a neck kiss. I would love to dedicate a special song to him |

01 Oct 01 - 07:20 PM (#562927) Subject: RE: Help: Fallen in Love From: Dave the Gnome Looking at the original post it looks like a lady singing for a gent. I think "I will come to your house, bring some beer and then take my clothes off" would be perfect. But as I cannot write an appropriate tune give "The first time ever I saw your face" a try";-) (Listen to it by Peggy Seeger if you doubt me!) Cheers

01 Oct 01 - 08:10 PM (#562953) Subject: RE: Help: Fallen in Love From: Dave the Gnome Hi Sinsull - I took "I want to find the perfect song to sing to my lovely man" to be an indication that it was F singing for M. It could of course be M singing for M but in either case my advice still applies, I believe! And how did you know that you could refer to me as 'Gnome'? Were you the one I gronkled my fluthreds at in the Cave last year? Cheers

02 Oct 01 - 01:26 AM (#563158) Subject: RE: Help: Fallen in Love From: Liz the Squeak ER.. on a Beatles theme, I'd go for Help! Then there is 'the Rose', and Martym Wyndham Reid's 'I will love you'.... I always find James Stewart's 'You got a friend' best. It's all very well falling passionately in love with someone, so that your stomach flips and your heart does the samba whilst your face goes scarlet and your naughty bits start trying to tell your brain what to do because the aforementioned brain is sitting there doing sod all, and you need to go change your underwear, but a friend is one who loves you despite the palpitations, hot flashes, stupid expression, intestinal noises and frequent changes of clothing. Make a friend first. Fall in love with them later. Good luck. And there are several threads for the 'how can I miss you if you won't go away' or 'where did our love go?' type songs that you will probably end up needing in a few months, maybe a year if your lucky..... Am I an old cynic or what?? LTS |

02 Oct 01 - 02:06 AM (#563169) Subject: RE: Help: Fallen in Love From: JohnInKansas I've always though that "Put Another Log on the Fire" was one of the most touching and tender songs I could sing for my fair one - not because of what it says, but because it tells both of us that "that ain't how it is with us (I hope). The "(I hope)" is the message. Shortly after we met, we stumbled into a Karioke session at the pool hall, and sang together (unaccompanied - they didn't have the music) Tom Lehrer's "When You Are Old And Gray." It was a great "turn-on" for us both (but maybe the fact we were both already a little ragged around the edges helped). Maybe what I'm trying to verbalize (I often don't know for sure) is that a song that says what he means to you is not as good as a song that expresses what you share? John |

02 Oct 01 - 08:42 AM (#563331) Subject: RE: Help: Fallen in Love From: Skipjack K8 Mandy, if you were a bloke, my tip would be Roseville Fair. It's in the DT, and is a hopelessly happy song of falling in lurve to the starins of the fiddle and the banjo. Quite beautiful. Skipjack |

02 Oct 01 - 01:37 PM (#563519) Subject: Lyr Add: WHITBY LOVESONG From: Mrs.Duck You old cynic you LtS!! I personnally favour having all the flutters in my erogenous bits first then making friends later. At least then if it turns out your not suited you've had a damn good time trying to find out. Geoff sang 'Roseville Fair' to me down on one knee in a crowded room so I've always favoured that as a love song even if it is a man to a lady. Whitby Lovesong The harbour lights were shining bright When I met you on that first night You took my hand and held me near Now we have found a love so dear We walked along hand in hand And stopped to listen to a band You kissed my cheek I feel it still Now we have found a love so real. We took a stroll down by the beach And I felt love was in my reach We drank a glass or two of wine Now we have found a love so fine You sang a song of endless love As seabirds circled up above You laid me down and loved me there Now we have found a love so rare Now we have found a love so rare was my reply. |

Mandleodeodeodorant or whatever, been there, done that, got the bits in a drawer somewhere..... I loved a bit more than he did though.... still not sure where we stand after all this time!! I've fallen out of love, but never out of friendship. Mrs Duck - long story, short version.... One guy I totally lusted after, drooled, slobbered, everything damp and sticky after, ended up being a complete and utter shit, and I still have the fractured skull to prove it.... because when he stopped kissing, he started kicking. I prefer to start slow, have a friend and some mutual respect first. Besides, the old lust folicles are slowing down now.... not a lot gets it going these days.... well, maybe Skipjack.... and Sean Connery of course, then there's that guy I see on the way to work, on his motorbike, all dressed in leather he is.... Oh, and Michael Dorn (Worf in Star Trek Next Gen).... and David Duchovny.... Roger the Penguin.... that tall bloke from Sheffield..... LTS |

Or, if you want to be traditional: I'll weave my love a garland, it shall be set so fine I'll set it round with roses, with lilies, pinks and thyme And I'll present it to my love when he comes home from sea For I love my love, and I love my love, because my love loves me. I would I were an arrow that sped into the air I'd seek him as a sparrow, and if he were not there How swiftly I'd become a fish to search the raging sea For I love my love etc I would I were a reaper I'd seek him in the corn, Or if I were a keeper, I'd hunt him with my horn I'd blow a blast when found at last beneath the greenwood tree For I love my love etc

06 Oct 01 - 07:24 AM (#566164) Subject: Lyr Add: THIS LOVE WILL CARRY (Dougie Maclean) From: forty two Mandy wrote What's "This Love Will Carry" Dougie Maclean web site: http://www.dougiemaclean.com THIS LOVE WILL CARRY - Maclean It's a thin line that leads us and keeps a man from shame. Dark clouds quickly gather along the way we came. There's fear out on the mountain and death out on the plain. There's heartache and heartbreak in the shadow of the flame. CHORUS: This love will carry, this love will carry me. I know this love will carry me. This love will carry, this love will carry me. I know this love will carry me. The thinnest web will tangle; the sweetest flower will fall; But somewhere in the distance, we will try and catch it all. Success lasts for a moment and failure's always near, As you look down at your blistered hands as turns another year. CHORUS These days are golden; they must not waste away. Our time is like that flower and soon it will decay. Though by storms we're beaten, uncertainty is sure. Like the coming of the dawn, it's ours forever more. CHORUS
