What is your favourite love song?

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.

 

I have many, but here's one . .


I'll Never be the Same⸻Billie Holiday

 

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

 

Now and forever, "Maybe I'm Amazed." 50 years later it still gives me shivers.

 

Matchless performance.

 

Too many to list, I'm a sucker for the sappy one's
One off hand I love
Cold Cave-Glory, 2017

 

The Beatles - Something

 

Madness - It Must Be Love

 

There are too many favourite love songs of mine to list too.

Thank you very much.

 

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.

 

We're still kinda in a relationship, who knows

 

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.

 

Good luck! I hope you do get to marry if that's what you both want.
