Love sings like... innocenceNonus Posted: Tue Mar 13 10:56:42 2007 Post | Quote in Reply     So, it's always been said that love is like a song... I guess that's kinda true because there are SO MANY love songs out there... some good. some bad. seems to be a favorite topic in pop. anyway, point is this: What's your love sound like? Or what do you want it to sound like? And I don't mean love as in love-making or familial love [i feel awkward putting both of those in the same sentence] but the you're-mine-and-i-am-yours-in-that-in-love-sorta-way type of love. Here's mine [so far]: I want a love that sings like... Brand New Colony by the Postal Service. Volcano by Damien Rice. Brighter than Sunshine by Aqualung. Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol. Farewell by Tan Dun. Biomusicology by Ted Leo + Pharmacists Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro by Utada Hikaru Memory of Fanelia by Yoko Kanno This Year's Love by David Gray Looking over the list... i guess my love [to me] sounds like a whole lot of heartbreak, pain, some quaintness [is that even a word], a lot of inspiration and wordplay, passion, and a whole lot of love. : D   marsi Posted: Tue Mar 13 13:22:17 2007 Post | Quote in Reply     When I fall in love (The Real Group) It had to be you (Doris Day) He touched me (Barbra Streisand) My romance (King's Singers) The sound of music (Julie Andrews) Stormy weather (Lena Horne) Non je ne regrette rien (Edith Piaf) What a wonderful world (Louis Armstrong)   DanSRose Posted: Tue Mar 13 20:33:06 2007 Post | Quote in Reply     Death Cab for Cutie - Transatlanticism Damien Rice - Delicate Van Morrison - Moondance The Pipettes - Because It's Not Love (But It's Still A Feeling) Ivy - Worry About You In the Sun - (both Joseph Arthur and the Michael Stipe & Coldplay versions) Wolf Parade - I'll Believe in Anything The Postal Service - Such Great Heights Tammany Hall - Cindy a random assortment of love songs i like   jennemmer Posted: Tue Mar 13 22:37:08 2007 Post | Quote in Reply     Good question! My list (that somehow ended up in order from most to least serious): Push - Sarah McLachlan Where are you going - Dave Matthews Band Take my Hand -Dido Trust Me (This is Love) - Amanda Marshall Love lift me - Amanda Marshall Crash and Burn - Savage Garden Dela (I Know Why The Dog Howls At The Moon) - Johnny Clegg & Savuka (so it's from the "George of the Jungle soundtrack... it's a good song ;p ) What I used to listen to and wish love would be like: I Love you Always Forever - Donna Lewis Maybe Tomorrow - Nouveaux The heavens paint a silent symphony As Orion shines for me Are you there feeling the same as I Whispering love songs to the lonely sky And though I don't know where you are I know you must be there So for now I'll lay me down to sleep and dream and maybe tomorrow I'll kiss the air that covers you - I'll watch the moonlight dance in your eyes I'll hold you safely in my arms - Maybe tomorrow you'll be mine... A little sappy maybe but I was an angsty teenager at the time ;)   libra Posted: Wed Mar 14 02:50:16 2007 Post | Quote in Reply     Alexei Murdoch - Song for You Death Cab - Passenger Seat Radiohead - Videotape and I'm stealing: The Postal Service - Such Great Heights Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars David Gray - This Year's Love It's hard to do this, cause most of the songs I associate with 'love' are actually about lost loves and broken hearts.
