The Weekly DiScussion: the most romantic songs, ever...?

Love is in the air, and what better way is there to enhance the whole lip-locking experience than with some mighty fine music? Many an artist has tried, and failed, to convey their innermost feelings for a loved one via song, so why not allow their emoting to make your meal for two (microwaved in five minutes? Good one, son) that little bit more special. If they’re happy, you’re happy, right? Mostly...

  • There is a light...

    by the Smiths. I can't get any better than that.

    If you disagree, you have no soul.

    • hehe, ace article

      but really, it's Into My Arms by Nick Cave.

      "I don't believe in an interventionalist God/but I know darling that you do/And if I did, I would kneel down and ask him/not to intervene when it came to you"

      • anything by

        Berch Bacharach.

        • dEUS

          The Real Sugar.

          I love that song.

        • Don't forget

          (I'll love you) Till the end of the world by Nick Cave.

          First and probably only love song to feature a bomb blast and a blind man crying for his dead dog.

        • In the vein of a Prayer To God

          The lyrics to "I Know Where The Canaries And Crows Go" by The Blood Brothers is quite romantic.

          "Why can't we let our mouths devour each other? Why can't we turn those miles into inches, letters into breath, years into seconds?"

          Hey, he just wants to make the most of their time together to turn it into something unique and beautiful.

          • Stacy's Mom -

            Fountains of Wayne. The cornerstone of love's deep and tender presence in all of us.

          • It's gotta be.....

            ...Wichita Lineman by Glen Campbell for me every time. Time to sob at the strings again.

            • Into My Arms

              First song at my wedding.
              Probably.
              This, I have said before.

              • Lovedrive

                by Scorpions:

                "A girl to drive a car to love
                The music rocks me down the motorway
                My whore's got wings we're taking off
                And I can't stop this flight of speed today

                It's a lovedrive on wheels of fire
                A lovedrive just one desire love
                You drive me crazy babe"

                In Germany, these are the nicest things you can say to the woman you love.

              • when I was younger

                I thought suzanne by weezer was th most romantic song ever (although in a very nerdy boy way)now I think exaltation on a coll kitchen floor by bright eyes is the sweetest song in the world

              • Seconded.

                God I love that song.

              • Owen - One of these days

                more so for personal reasons. but anything with Mike Kinsella involved always makes for good makeout music

              • fairytale of new york

                the bit about "i built my dreams around you" or something is just immensely beautiful.

                or ladies and gentlemen we are floating in space:

                I cant help falling
                Falling in love with you

                I will love you till I die
                And I will love you all the time
                So please put your sweet hand in mine
                And float in space and drift in time

                All my time until I die,
                Well float in space just you and i
                And I will love you till I die
                And I will love you all the time
                So please put your sweet hand in mine
                Well float in space just you and i

                it might be about drugs, but who cares? it's the most touchingly simple and elegant and beautiful song i've ever heard.

                • At My Most Beautiful

                  by REM surely deserves a mention, if only for the line, "I count your eyelashes, secretly."
                  But yeah, agree with the Nick Cave fans - 'Into My Arms' is unbelievable.

                  • more romantic than that

                    "Don't you try to call the cops little girl, before you pick up the phone you'll be dead"

                    "By the way you smell I can tell that you're fifteen"

                    I feel a little bit dirty......

                    • But so is

                      Pretty much everything on that album.
                      Oh my god, I'm putting it on now.

                      • sex with animals

                        by Fuck Face

                      • the only moment

                        we were alone - EITS

                        and in terms of proper songs 'babe' by sonny and cher

                      • I will follow you into the dark..

                        by DCFC is up there.

                      • Van Morrison - Sweet Thing.

                        I don't think any other song I've ever heard has expressed the feeling so well. I get goosebumps listening to it.

                        'And I shall drive my chariot
                        Down your streets and cry
                        'Hey, it's me, I'm dynamite
                        And I don't know why'
                        And you shall take me strongly
                        In your arms again
                        And I will not remember
                        That I even felt the pain.
                        We shall walk and talk
                        In gardens all misty and wet with rain
                        And I will never, never, never
                        Grow so old again.'

                        It puts most love songs completely to shame. It sounds so sincere.

                        • Comforting Sounds

                          by Mew. I love the way it bulids up, it's just a beautiful song. Lyrically it isn't too romantic, but the melody is baby making music!

                        • it should be!

                          I admire you.

                          • I reckon it's Here, There and Everywhere

                            To lead a better life I need my love to be here...

                            Here, making each day of the year
                            Changing my life with a wave of her hand
                            Nobody can deny that there's something there

                            There, running my hands through her hair
                            Both of us thinking how good it can be
                            Someone is speaking but she doesn't know he's there

                            I want her everywhere and if she's beside me
                            I know I need never care
                            But to love her is to need her everywhere
                            Knowing that love is to share

                            Each one believing that love never dies
                            Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

                            I want her everywhere and if she's beside me

                            Watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there

                            To be there and everywhere

                              It's getting kinda hectic
                              The house pets seem alert and confused,
                              And the neighbors leaving messages
                              Get on your stomach and I'll plug you in all your entrances
                              And one exit
                              Whispering quotes from The Tempest
                              Dr. Hell No, (oh yes I did)
                              With a surgical scrub on a baby arm inserted from fist to elbow
                              I drank her bath water in a shot glass
                              Then ran my tongue up the crack of her ass
                              Til our future children hatched
                              The mushrooms had me seeing some sort of deep organic math
                              On some primal altered state sex, I felt connected to the past
                              Collapse, nasty, wet, wept into her neck
                              Suckling on her swollen nipples
                              Then I drifted into R.E.M.
                              Where I dreamt of little bouncing cherubs
                              With clit rings and sexy woodnips
                              And crotchless liederhosen begging to get bent

                              And if six was nine, I'd probably bust a machine gun (he's got a gun!)
                              Niggas hate me
                              Cause I scribbled the Cold Vein, ice grilled Medusa and I'm stone free

                              Our shit is too hard to study
                              Ox is brilliant, our ying is colorful, but our yang is muddy
                              And if you ever thought you had one up on me, that had to be a projection
                              from R2D2
                              Cause I am not see through

                              You think I care if your titties are sensitive?
                              Niggas beware!

                              Hey, why don't you write a review, of my ass?

                                • Denver Max.

                                  What a charmer.

                                • Robbie Fulks!!!

                                  Robbie Fulks's "I just want to meet the man" is my favourite love song EVER! Actually, I also think it's produced by Steve Albini. These are the amazing lyrics:
                                  --------------------------------
                                  Well, good morning, little angel
                                  I've been waiting all night long
                                  It's no secret what's kept me here
                                  In your driveway until dawn
                                  I didn't come to cause you trouble
                                  Or avenge my wounded pride
                                  I just came to meet your new friend
                                  So won't you have him step outside?

                                  I just want to see his face
                                  So that I can see who's in my place
                                  I just want to know the stranger who
                                  Has put his poison inside of you
                                  I just want to look into the eyes
                                  My own baby's learned to recognize
                                  The one that tore down everything I'd planned
                                  I just want to meet the man.

                                  Don't tell me it's just the two of you
                                  I see his shadow on the blind
                                  He can't hide in there forever
                                  And darling, I've got so much time
                                  No, that's nothing in my pocket
                                  Just a toy I brought for Jane
                                  I couldn't stand to see her hurting
                                  Now Daddy's here to kill the pain.
