Since it's Valentines Day tomorrow I thought it would be appropriate to ask what people's favourite love songs were. Mine is "My love is like a red, red rose". I'm sharing Karen Matheson's version.
There are a lot of love songs I like in all different styles. I love country love songs. I love tearjerkers. I love power ballads.
The original 1982 12” version of New Order’s Temptation. There are a lot of great songs about being in love, but this captures the actual rush of falling in love better than anything I’ve ever heard
Impossible for me to choose. I love the ones that have been posted. I’ll add a couple more: Percy Sledge — When A Man Loves a Woman The Ronettes — Be My Baby Embraceable You — George Gershwin Moondance — Van Morrison (my parents’ wedding song) True Love Ways — Buddy Holly (my husband and my wedding song) Beautiful Girl — George Harrison
Ramones - Baby, I Love You It was the first song my wife and I danced to on top of the Journal Square Parking deck in Jersey City overlooking the New York City skyline was back in the summer of 1989 when we first started dating.
It is a hard choice. I love most that have been posted. I love your 1st 2 choices & your penultimate choice. I'll respond more tomorrow. I should be in bed now.
