Love Songs...

[pickledseal]

Let me first put a little disclaimer about this thread... it is NOT for all those cliched, overplayed and over used tracks which apear on 'Greatest Love Songs in the Whole World Ever Vol 6' and such like. I'm sure there is other places for that...

Was having a chat with a mate at school today about good love songs (he is getting married soon) and thought I would put it to the pub.

The choice has to contain some kind of romantic/being in love kind of theme.

Some that we came up were:

Billy Bragg - 14th February
Sawdoctors - Spend the Night Together
Ben Folds- The Luckiest
Bruce Springsteen - Secret Garden

Somethings gotten hold of my heart....Gene Pitney.

When it comes to love songs you can't beat Harry Nilsson.

My mate & new missus had their first dance to Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars which is a great little tune.... how about a bit of Mr. Balladeer Richard Hawley: Coles Corner is smoother than Slipperduke on the pull in Tots 2000.

I still want to be at a wedding when the Bride and Groom opent he dancing to the classic by Puddle of Mud called "She ****ing Hates Me."

 

[Firestorm]

The Corgi's - Everybody's gotta hurt sometime

The Alarm - Walk forever by my side

 

[Bielzibubz]

G Spot - Wayne Marshall

Guaranteed to quiver the legs of even the most cynical of the female gender

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

My mate & new missus had their first dance to Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars

Oh what a wonderful wedding that must have been!

My choices.....
Nick Cave - Into My Arms (last wedding I went to, this was the first dance)
Travis - Driftwood or Flowers In The Window
Interpol - Slow Hands (purely for the lyric that's personal to me "I am married to your charms and Grace")

 

[MK Shrimper]

Travis? Every song sounds the bloody same Travis?

 

[Mad Cyril]

Slow - My Bloody Valentine.

Only works when you are 17 and have just ingested 8 cans of breaker and a burger from the Pink Toothbrush.

 

[Interpol Shrimper]

You diss the Patrol and then big up "every song sounds that same" Travis?

Oh yeah, U16 Girls, sounds exactly like Writing To Reach You which sounds like Peace The F**k Out which sounds like Selfish Jean

:thump:

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Song for the dumped by Ben Folds 5:

Well f**k you too
Give me my money back
Give me my money back
you bitch
I want my money back
(And don't forget to give
me back my black T-Shirt)

 

[Davros]

on a side note, that Leona Lewis song is the first decent ballard (vocally) that i have heard for many a year
