what love song..
 

...do you wish it was written about you?

"Good Night Ladies." I have to get up early in the morning.

of course he could sing the phone book, to me and I wouldn't mind.
:luv:

Don't any body scoff. I've loved Elton since back in the day when we both were skinny. I bought the album, where he was maybe 17-21, On the cover he was sitting on green grass in the sunshine wearing a white or white and black stripped hat. I was about 13.

Baby Did a Bad Bad Thing - Chris Isaak.

Or This one:

Doesn't he look like Ron Perlman?

He's funny.

The Honorable Mention List
 

The Scorpions - Still Loving You
The Smashing Pumpkins - Stand Inside Your Love
November Rain- Guns and Roses
Wild Horses - The Sundays
Poison - Every Rose Has a Thorn
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters

sky, aside from the Elton John stuff, you and I seem to have similar taste in music.

I have to think about this question.

I thought it was a slightly difficult challenge because some of the lyrics in love songs cast blame or something else you've got to feel introspective about, if the song was really really about yourself.

I can't come up with one....

I was going to post something by Loudon Wainwright.

Won't bother now...(*sulks off in a huff*)

I like the overall sentiment of "Hey There Delilah." Except in reality I'd never date a guitarist, so I guess the song couldn't be about me after all.

"You are the wind inside my shorts"?

Always a Woman--Billy Joel

or

Sentimental Lady--Bob Welch

It's hard to find a love songs for guys.

These are good but not about guys.


Led Z- whole lotta love
Queensryche -Another rainy night
Apocalyptica -I dont care

I found more but very depressing...

::: gives up the guitar :::

Sulk over!

I used to travel a lot with work and was often away from home for weeks at a time so it might have been nice if this song had been written for me. It was written by Swill Odgers if The Men They Couldn't Hang:


Parted From You

An endless road of breathtaking sights
Another town, another night
Where telephone bills replace bottles of pills
Love hurts and your voice thrills

Now all this frustration brings a feeling of pain
When I put down the phone I want to call you again
When I write you a letter, when I send you a card
I'm soft, my body grows hard

Mountains and rivers and beautiful views
Mean nothing to me, parted from you
Sunshine or snow it all becomes grey
As I think of you while I'm away

Days become weeks, or so it seems
But night's a release, with you in my dreams
But I wake, you're away and I think of how far
I feel like I'm trapped in a jar

And mountains and rivers and beautiful views
Mean nothing to me, parted from you
Sunshine or snow it all becomes grey
As I think of you while I'm away

Hobbyists would be safe. Even those who make a little money at it on the side. It's the ones who are sure they're gonna "make it big" that I have no time for.

I'm tenacious, loyal and caring. This is so me.

"Not available in my country?" Yep, that sounds like you alright. :)

I told you I was tenacious.

Zen for the retro win

What love song...
 

ETA: grumblefuckinyoutubegrumble

Here's the link, the embed didn't work don't look like...

Heart - Magic Man

:)

oh come on, it's so singable

I know I might get made fun of for this, but I heard this the other day and loved it:

Dido's first album reminded me what love songs are.

This love song always brings tears to my eyes...

I'mm'a guess Friday?

you guessed right!

Sky, I loved Sixpence None the Richer, but it was a bit fey.
Fits I suppose :)

UT - I really felt Dido's songs, but I could never fit them to me.
Male: female difference I suppose.

I submit two:

When You Come - Crowded House.
I just love the imagery. It is a love song. Just not a soppy one.
YouTube'd because it was an album track. Forgive them, it was filmed in the 80s.

Wonderdrug - Jann Arden.
The clip starts with someone other than her singing. The real song kicks in about 30 seconds.


Both sets of lyrics quoted because it's a lot about the lyrics to me.

I forgot about them and that song. Great song.

I think this was written about me



"I miss your purple hair" :o

Wonderful Tonite
Lady In Red

Most love songs seem to be about longing for what you can't have.

For example, something like Nothing Compares 2U is a heart wrenching song about unrequited love. If that were written about me, I'd be freaked out that some psycho was going to kill herself over me. I don't want that. Where are the passionate love songs about happy couples who are together? It's boring subject matter, so I can't think of any examples.

Wonderful Tonight is a good song, except the sentiment was kind of ruined for me when I read that he wrote it when he was waiting forever for his partner to get ready one evening before going out.

I got nothing.

Like this one?

Tch! Half of my favourites I can't ask to have been written about me because they're about established relationships!

The other half are about the passionate throngs of new love. I don't want that.
Anyone can fall head over heels and promise eternal love. I don't trust that any more.

So I scrounged out two that are just about love imo.
It's small beer.
Love songs are for the young and happy I figure, or the settled.

what about this, glatt?

or you could go for a little more.. erm....

or

or

Who wouldn't want this to be about them?

It's pretty sappy and repetitive, but the best I can think of is Van Morrison's Have I Told You Lately.

monster, you reminded me of this:



I love this song. The lyrics and the music.

Anyone who ever held you
Would tell you the way I'm feeling
Anyone who ever wanted you
Would try to tell you what I feel inside
The only thing I ever wanted
Was the feeling that you ain't faking
The only one you ever thought about
Wait a minute can't you see that I

I wanna fall from the stars
Straight into your arms
I, I feel you
I hope you comprehend

It was Stars playing that reminded me of For Your Babies.

I hadn't heard it for YEARS. Then I was in Los Angeles, walking around, found a drugstore, went in...it was on the MUZAC (only it was the real song, MUZAC has improved.) Since then I've noticed I hear it a lot at the grocery or in drugstores.

I resemble the remark about Chasing Cars.
That song makes me go all squishy.

My luck is that I'll end being associated with this:
