I know it's been done before, but fuck it, I want to do it.

So, what's your favoite love song? Any song you and your partner feel a special connection with?

For me, it's "Never Let It Go" by Mushroomhead or "Scream of the Butterfly" by Acid Bath. Sadly, she doesn't feel the same connection with this music.

Also, I was just reminded of it, "Glycerine" by Bush.

But it's so morbid?

it's really not. it;s not about death, it;s about the unknown. and facing the unknown for the one you love. it's heroic. it's sacrifice. it's the epitome of romance.

As I said to my girlfriend when she told me she liked that song:

"Death Cab are bloody pansies. Follow you into the dark? Fuck that, if you go into the dark I'm dragging you out kicking and screaming"

I know someone who wants that played at her wedding. And it's a lovely song.

I've never thought of Scream of the Butterfly as a love song. I can see how you might interpret some of the lyrics like that, but I'm pretty sure Dax wrote that song about a girl he knew that was raped.

Anyway... Thank You, by Led Zeppelin. <3 that song. And also In An Aeroplane Over The Sea, Dax Riggs' cover.

Paradise - Eyedea

Bridle - Sage Francis

Lift Her Pull Her - Atmosphere

I wish i could of been there. The way they set it all up was amazing.

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris

Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Lovin' You

The Fray - Look After You

Those 3 off the top of my head. There's definitely a lot more. And those are *my* songs. The boyfriend (happy 6 months today! ) likes country. For some godawful reason. I'm working on it though. Not really.

Such lyrics, I mean...how do they know where I live...

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp -- yes, I know it's technically about a dog.

Ahaha, you know what popped into my head when you said Big D? An image of Big Rhonda from That 70's Show. And now I'm a little upset. But thank ya!

Snake River Conspiracy's cover of The Cure's Love Song.

"Today" by Joshua Radin

"Cindy" by Tammany Hall

"Goodnight and Go" by Imogen Heap

Sappy love songs are my game. Those are all great.

Sorry I don't find screaming death metal to be very romantic =P



For me, my favorites are "Remember When" by Alan Jackson, and "Far Away" by Nickleback.

I know there have been many, but for the life of me...I can't think of a single song right now.

With that kind of taste in music, no wonder your relationship has trouble.

Feelin' This by Blink-182.

I feel you on the Far Away.

Also, call me gay but Better Together - Jack Johnson.

It's like when i feel that special way for a girl, and i hear that song. IDK how to describe it, it's euphoric.

killswitch engage - the end of heartache (because it reminds me of my ex)

journey - if he should hurt you

uh... i can't think of any others at the moment.

I strongly suggest checking this video clip out, such a beautiful song.

"Can't fight the moonlight" by Leanne Rhymes.

Also "Lady in Red" by Chrish DeBurgh (i think) is a classic.

Oh, that reminds me of another one. I Get A Kick Out Of You.

*looks at itunes*

I don't fuckin have any.

Apparently, it isn't named Heaven.

Goodnight and Go sounds like it's about a stalker; reminds me of You'll Accompany Me, and that song always creeped me out.

ICP - Another Love Song

i saw imogen heap in concert on sunday. i love her music. i must say she sucked live, though. but that may have been because she had a cold. :/

WRONG!

Everyone sucks live. Her voice is too good in her cd's and shit to be that good live.

Its like a balance.

Shitty sounding live = Good sounding cd

Scandalous lies!

I've only been to 4 concerts and they all rocked balls.

Then again, those four were James Brown, Tenacious D, Bob Dylan, and the Flaming Lips.

Hands down the best show was the Flaming Lips. If they are EVER playing near you GO SEE THEM! And if you trip, take as many magic mushrooms as your stomach can hold.

quote:Originally posted by jvm222:

You need to see some decent live music. I've seen plenty of bands that sound perfect live. And a few that are much better live than on CD. Plus, live atmosphere >>>> CD. A lot of pop musicians do suck live, though, a lot more 'studio magic' goes on to make them sound like they do. I have no problem with that, it makes CDs sound lovely... but at least have the courtesy to mime for your audience so they don't have to hear how poor you really are.
