Don't Know What You've Got Till It's Gone - Cinderella

I cry everytime. ;_;

ha

i get it

cause it's dad rock

lol

I'd go with David Bowie's "Heroes". At least I think it's a love song. AgainstAllOdds has a good one with "Something", too.

Thunder Road

"Show a little faith, there's magic in the night

You aint a beauty, but hey you're alright

Oh and that's alright with me"

That's the most beautiful compliment ever. You're ugly but I want sex so I don't care.

There's nothing about having sex there, Izzygirl. He doesn't even hold her hand until halfway in the song -

"Oh-oh come take my hand

Riding out tonight to case the promised land"

Yes, yes, I know...but they probably ended up having sex once they left that town full of losers behind. He knocked on her door with that idea.

(not really)

Er... the screen door slammed, because her dress waved...she ran out, he didn't "knock on her door"...

Anyway, my fave from the Human Touch/Better Days period is Beautiful Reward.

And I won't know if you're here at all
there will be wine and drinking in the yard
there won't be anybody very hard
there will be lots of things that we can do
and all and more will be for you
everything I knew I tried with you
but everything to you was never easy
so I went ahead around my world
I saw the things you do arriving by your side
to see you looking too
but I know this. I know, I never lied to you
it's been just like you're gone
for just one day for so long!
It's been so hard to bear with you not there
but though I think of you, the things you do
when I'm with you, to be with you,
to be alone...can only think:
"Why I am here? What's meant to be?"

It's so hard to narrow anything down to a single song, but I really do have an intense love for "Heroes" and it would probably have to find a place in my top 10 songs ever.

"Something" is such, such a great song. I mean, what else do you want? It even has that beautiful solo.

I agree.

also think First Time Ever I saw Your Face by Roberta Flack is powerful.

And of course When a Man Loves a Woman (Percy Sledge, not Michael Bolton)

Elvis - Unchained Melody

I fuckin hate that song...in general i mean, not necessarily or specifically Elvises version, fuckin awful, reminds me of Robson and sodding Jerome.

[drtydane]

The boatmans call is one of my favs.

Your Song - Elton John

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica

Lovesong - The Cure

Love Cats -The Cure

Boys Don't Cry - The Cure

I like The Cure. Can you tell? ♥

Edit. Estranged, forgot where I was for a minute. Lol

Edit2. Perfect Day - Lou Reed.

There are quite a lot when you start thinking about it. Maybe not all the greatest but that is subjective.

You kno perfect day is his love song about heroin right?

You're going to reap just what you sow..

[alfierose]

Yes but its flexible context though. Still a lovely song.

[drtydane]

That's why it's such a great song.
