If there is plently of one thing it is love songs. most of them are cliched ridden terrible poppy songs by manufactured boy bands and girl bands. What I want to hear is about real love songs that sum up love for you. So no Britney, Back street boys, etc. Real bands, singers and songs. I am looking for real genuinely felt love songs. ---------------- my favourite love songs are two Nick Cave and the Bad seed songs. Into My Arms I don't believe in an interventionist God But I know, darling, that you do But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him Not to intervene when it came to you Not to touch a hair on your head To leave you as you are And if He felt He had to direct you Then direct you into my arms Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms And I don't believe in the existence of angels But looking at you I wonder if that's true But if I did I would summon them together And ask them to watch over you To each burn a candle for you To make bright and clear your path And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love And guide you into my arms Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms And I believe in Love And I know that you do too And I believe in some kind of path That we can walk down, me and you So keep your candles burning And make her journey bright and pure That she will keep returning Always and evermore Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms ------- Are You The One That I've Been Waiting For? I've felt you coming girl, as you drew near I knew you'd find me, cause I longed you here Are you my desitiny? Is this how you'll appear? Wrapped in a coat with tears in your eyes? Well take that coat babe, and throw it on the floor Are you the one that I've been waiting for? As you've been moving surely toward me My soul has comforted and assured me That in time my heart it will reward me And that all will be revealed So I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thaw Are you the one that I've been waiting for? Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built Out of longing great wonders have been willed They're only little tears, darling, let them spill And lay your head upon my shoulder Outside my window the world has gone to war Are you the one that I've been waiting for? O we will know, won't we? The stars will explode in the sky O but they don't, do they? Stars have their moment and then they die There's a man who spoke wonders though I've never met him He said, "He who seeks finds and who knocks will be let in" I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting And how every little thing anticipates you All down my veins my heart-strings call Are you the one that I've been waiting for? "Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett |

you're right Bri...I do love this one  for me...the to die for love song is the one that when you hear it... you say either -- I wish I had wrote that... or...I wish someone had wrote that for me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Flame Cheap Trick Another night slowly closes in, And I feel so lonely. Touching heat freezing on my skin, I pretend you still hold me. I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep. I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you. I can't believe you're gone. You were the first, you'll be the last. Wherever you go, I'll be with you. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon. Remember: after the fire, after all the rain, I will be the flame. I will be the flame. Watching shadows move across the wall, I feel so frightened. I wanna run to you, I wanna call, But I've been hit by lightening. Just can't stand up for fallin' apart. Can't see through this veil across my heart, over you. You'll always be the one. You were the first, you'll be the last. Wherever you go, I'll be with you. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon. Remember: after the fire, after all the rain, I will be the flame. I will be the flame. I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep. I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you. You'll always be the one. You were the first, you'll be the last. Wherever you go, I'll be with you. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Whenever you need someone to lay your heart and head upon. Remember: after the fire, after all the rain, I will be the flame. I will be the flame. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you. Wherever you go, I'll be with you. And whatever you want, I'll give it to you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SKY BLUE AND BLACK Jackson Browne In the calling out to one another Of the lovers up and down the strand In the sound of the waves and the cries Of the seagulls circling the sand In the fragments of the songs Carried down the wind from some radio In the murmuring of the city in the distance Ominous and low I hear the sound of the world where we played And the far too simple beauty Of the promises we made If you ever need holding Call my name, I'll be there If you ever need holding And no holding back, I'll see you through Sky blue and black Where the touch of the lover ends And the soul of the friend begins There's a need to be separate and a need to be one And a struggle neither wins Where you gave me the world I was in And a place I could make a stand I could never see how you doubted me When I'd let go of your hand Yeah, and I was much younger then And I must have thought that I would know If things were going to end And the heavens were rolling Like a wheel on a track And our sky was unfolding And it'll never fold back Sky blue and black And I'd have fought the world for you If I thought that you wanted me to Or put aside what was true or untrue If I'd know that's what you needed What you needed me to do But the moment has passed by me now To have put away my pride And just come through for you somehow If you ever need holding Call my name, I'll be there If you ever need holding And no holding back, I'll see you through You're the color of the sky Reflected in each store-front window pane You're the whispering and the singing Of my tires in the rain You're the hidden cost and the thing that's lost In everything I do Yeah and I'll never stop looking for you In the sunlight and the shadows And the faces on the avenue That's the way love is That's the way love is That's the way love is Sky blue and black |

ooohhhh...REAL love songs? COOL! Ok ok...here's one: Bjork: Possibly Maybe (very much an association song with one particular past relationship) your flirt finds me out teases the crack in me smittens me with hope possibly maybe probably love as much as I enjoy solitude I wouldn't mind perhaps spending a little time with you sometimes sometimes possibly maybe probably love uncertainity excites me baby who knows what going to happen? lottery or car crash or you'll join a cult possibly maybe possibly love mon petit vulcan you're eruptions and disasters I keep calm admiring your lava I keep calm possibly maybe probably love electric shocks? I love them! with you: dozen a day but after awhile I wonder where's that love you promised me? possibly maybe probably love how can you offer me love like that? my heart's burned how can you offer me love like that? I'm exhausted leave me alone possibly maybe possibly maybe possibly maybe since we broke up I'm using lipstick again I suck my tongue as a remembrance of you... (c) Bjork. Sigh...oh I love that song..have to go hear it RIGHT NOW! It has such a dreamy, moody sound...quite unique...and in the last two stanzas there is such an edge of desperation...ohhh it gives me shivers...
