Love Songs


Golgo-13

Recommended Posts

What kinds of love songs? Slow and sappy ballads? Mid-tempo? Rockin' paens to love and beauty? I've always hated the stereotype of love song as being one step short of elevator music because "it's a love song...it can't rock."

I say rock her pants off...

"If you asked me to" by Celine Dion is a good one for new girlfriends. "Here without You" by 3 doors down. Wherever you will go" The Calling. "Back to One" Brian McNight. All decent songs.

Edit:

I forgot some 80's ballads like:

Journey "Open Arms"

Foreigner "Waiting for a girl like you"

Styx "Lady" (isn't really a ballad, has a great rock groove when it kicks in)

These are oldies but goodies.

You need to have a theme. "Slow Jams" or "Rock Ballads". Stick with one theme and don't mix styles. "Slow Jams" include songs by artists such as Keith Sweat, Prince, Guy, and Alexander O'Neal. "Rock Ballads" include such artists as Bon Jovi, Warrant, Motley Crue, Skid Row, and Stryper.

Oh god, I think she'll break the CD in half and stab you with it if you put Nickelback on there ;).

How about the quintessential love song....

Love Song by the Cure/311, whichever version suits her tastes better.

if you want a real love song use:

Lionel Richie and Diana Ross' "Endless Love"

i am more into "Lilac Wine" by Jeff Buckley, or "I'll Wear it Proudly" by Elvis Costello... also he does a great love song called "She". i think it was on a soundtrack a couple of years ago...?

I like Lionel Ritchie's "Do it to Me One More Time," excellent song.

But I am stumped--what is a "love song?"

I once sung "I'll Make Love to You" with my old girl back in the day(meaning both of us sung it to each other) but is that a classic love song? YES. YES IT IS.

But what about songs with a hint of sadness?

Hey, Course of Nature's "Caught in the Sun" is pretty good for that kind of thing.
