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.

Maybe you're right because English is not my thing but... the song says:

"Hey that's me and I want you only

Don't turn me home again

I just can't face myself alone again

Don't run back inside

Darling you know just what Im here for"

So, I assumed that she went out because he knocked on the door. That, or Mary has supernatural powers.

As far as I'm concerned Thunder Road is a masterpiece.

I Dream A Highway - Gillian Welch

That is quite beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

My pleasure. Actually the album it's from, 'The Revelator', has equally good stuff on it.

This is not my final answer to what is the best love song ever,

but this is something different.
