I think my favorite that folks would know is "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 02.13.05 (7:15 am) Reply to: surrogate Oh! Even though Peter Gabriel is a genius, I'd love it if you didn't limit it to ones folks would know. I'm much more interested in music most people don't know.

It's a bit on the sad side, though. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 02.13.05 (7:24 am) Reply to: brogonzo Well... the sadder the better in my book. Thanks for the suggestions... I was sort of expecting a hardrock ballad from you. :) posted by: cmaze (reply) post date: 02.13.05 (12:27 pm) I'd have to agree with Ian on The Luckiest...its simply amazing. However, another song that fits quite nicely into this is Lovesong by The Cure...only because I love the Cure so much and it was written for his wife as a wedding present since he didn't want to get her diamonds. haha. How are ya Juni? posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 02.14.05 (2:24 am) Reply to: cmaze Maze! *smooch!* So glad to see you stop by! I love The Cure too, so they would definitely be on my list. How goes it? posted by: almsthvn (reply) post date: 02.14.05 (3:15 pm) I've heard Mrs. Delilah before, too. Love songs aren't high on my list of things to listen to these days. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 02.14.05 (4:10 pm) Reply to: almsthvn I was kind of surprised by the whole Delilah phonemon myself. Like I said, easy listening isn't really my cup-o-tea, but I was interested when a pal of mine told me she had one of the top rated syndicated radio shows. Lot's of sappy folks out there who enjoy benign music apparently. Anyway, thanks for the comment. Maybe your fave heartgrabbing tune will come to you later. :) posted by: childish (reply) post date: 02.14.05 (4:41 pm) georgia by ray charles. i love it because it was the first song my love and i danced to. cheesy? yes. but *shrug. thats what love is. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 02.14.05 (4:43 pm) Reply to: childish Oh, I think that's a GREAT reason, Childish. Sometimes it's not the song so much as the memories that are attached to it. Thanks for the comment! :) posted by: almsthvn (reply) post date: 02.14.05 (4:47 pm) Reply to: juniperflux Well, the song My Girl makes me smile, I sing it to my daughter all the time and it was the song my dad and I danced to at my previous wedding. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 02.14.05 (4:53 pm) Reply to: almsthvn See now... that's some good stuff. A sweet song for an utterly sweet moment. Thanks for sharing! posted by: JT (reply) post date: 02.14.05 (5:06 pm) Time and Tide, Basia More Than You Know Sea of Love English Rose, The Jam Something, George Harrison Something in the Way She Moves, James Taylor Refugio de Amor (Vanessa Williams & Cheyenne) Since I Fell For You posted by: surrogate (reply) post date: 02.14.05 (6:40 pm) I'm in Florida right now and Delilah's on down here. Every time I hear here show i get half irritated with myself for not only listening, but sometimes enjoying it.... So other love songs: Memmories of Old Days by Gentle Giant... love it cuz she loved it. Recovery by Eyestrings... personal reasons I Will The Beatles just pretty I love the Luckiest by Ben Folds good choice for actually making love? Jade Warrior... any album posted by: shadowmusic (reply) post date: 02.15.05 (5:41 am) Hmm... For favorite love song, I'll go with The Softies' "It's Love." Short acoustic song with twee sweet vocals. Many thanks to Juniperflux for introducing me to that band! :-) posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 02.15.05 (3:41 pm) Reply to: JT Several of those are very good choices... I particularly love "Since I Fell For You." That song has been redone a few times, but the version by Lenny Welch always manages to kick me in the gut. Good stuff.

Who knows, maybe some other folks who are lurking around here will find something new as a result of your suggestions as well. I also love the "love it cuz she loved it" reason that you listed. I could do an entire list of songs that fit that definition alone. (Of course, I'd have to change 'she' to 'he' though). Thanks for the comment. j posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 02.15.05 (3:47 pm) Reply to: shadowmusic Oh my stars! Stopp the presses! You mean the man who is the king of all music lists, the master of music classification, the grand sultan of song sorting picked a tune by a band that *I* showed to him as his favorite??? Has a greater compliment every been flung in my direction? I think not.;-) Seriously, that's a good song... but I would have chosen "Love You More" as my Softies track. The memories and emotions that surround that song are too numerous to mention. Thanks for the comment, kiddo! j posted by: irishred (reply) post date: 02.15.05 (3:48 pm) Delilah is HUGE in Cincinnati. It is so good to see you back!!!! posted by: shadowmusic (reply) post date: 02.16.05 (5:47 am) Reply to: juniperflux "Love You More" by the Softies is a good song, but I like their song "It's Love" better... maybe because it's janglier/perkier? Anyway, "It's Love" is possibly my favorite love song, and I'm including lyrics here: IT'S LOVE by The Softies: you're a sure sign of heaven above and you're past the line between I like and I love but I'm trusting you to always be mine and be true and there's no reason we can't call it what it is it's love it's love, it's love it's love there's a good chance any time of the day I'll be thinking of you in the nicest way I haven't slept in days and I know that I'll feel this always and there's no reason we can't call it what it is it's love it's love, it's love it's love I can't help but tell everyone this is the best thing I've ever done I owe you everything you turned my winter to spring this must be love posted by: newbie (reply) post date: 02.16.05 (2:29 pm) Nothing good will ever come of this -arrogants posted by: billlyryan (reply) post date: 02.22.05 (3:37 pm) Climb On (A Back That's Strong) by Shawn Colvin Hallelujah by Rufus Wainwright By Your Side by Tiddas and If You Were Mine by Billie Holiday But there's alot more than that. posted by: juniperflux (reply) post date: 02.22.05 (3:38 pm) Reply to: billlyryan Oh my... Let me tell you a secret. There's something about Rufus Wainwright.... I swear I can see his lips moving when he sings. His voice is so evocative to me. I feel I could devour him. j posted by: billlyryan (reply) post date: 02.22.05 (3:50 pm) Reply to: juniperflux I've always pictured his mouth when he sings. I could use his breath when he sings, as my own. |

Ok. I know it's been awhile, but let's make a list, shall we?
