re: the Rightous Bros., I checked out the bio, good stuff there, even tho it's more of a promo... but I had read that Bill & Bobby have been on & off again many times over the years, ego battles, who got more solos, etc., kinda like they were real brothers; I guess they finally worked out their differences, soon as they realized how more $ they could make as a team lol. Legend has it that when they recorded "Lovin' feeling", Hatfield asked producer Phil Spector, "So what am I supposed to do on this song?", Phil replied, "You can go directly to the bank!"

love songs
 

Can't believe noone said Teddy Pendergrass or Marvin Gaye!!!
(and I'm dating my self here!! LOL)

I like all their songs so I couldn't narrow it down to just one!!

Being am Aussies as I am I will have to include

"I wrote ya a fucking love song" by Kevin "Bloody" Wilson:cool:

Re: love songs
 

You beat me to it Red. I would have said just about anything by Marvin Gaye or Al Green. Gotta throw Sam Cooke in there too.

"At first I thought it was infatuation, but ooh it's lasted so long
Now I find myself wanting to marry you and take you home
Woah-oh-wo-oh-oh
Yoooou send me
Darling yooou send me
Darling yooou send me
Honest you do, honest you, honest you do"

Two songs in particular that I must mention is not by Marvin, Al or Sam. One, "Your Song" by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.

My wife and I fell in love to that song. We danced to it at our wedding.

The second is an atypical love song. "Arms Wide Open" by Creed. You don't often hear a song devouted to a father's love for his child. I get teary whenever I hear it because I hit the airwaves at the same time I found out I'd be a father.

"Well I just heard, the news today
It seems my life, is gonna change
I close my eyes, begin to pray
Then tears of joy stream down my face
With arms wide open, under the sunlight
Welcome to this place, I'll show you everything
With arms wide open"

See what I mean?

I like the new Creed song too "My Sacrifice". Great for singing in the car! All great love songs so far~~~~~~>Lilith

oooooooo
 

Ghost - The Indigo Girls
Iris - The Goo Goo Dolls
I'll Cover You - from the musical RENT
Silver Spring - Stevie Nicks

Oh, shoot, I could go on and on...

Right with you on that one, Ophelia.... great song!

Ophelia
 

I got tickets to RENT as an Xmas present and we just went. I agree with you about "I'll Cover You"! I really enjoyed the play!

I will always love you
 

And I would have to add Love Huts by Nazareth.

Since we're including sad love songs too, I have to add my all-time fav "Long, Long, Time" by Linda Ronstadt(sp?), never fails to choke me up by the last lines...
"yes, I've done everything I know, to try & make you mine,
and I think I'm gonna love you for a Long, Long Time"

"Have you seen her" -- Chilites.

"Homey Girl" also by the Chilites.

"Guess who I saw today" Nancy Wilson.

One I like is
 

James Taylor's "Ananas". It is a good song when you are happily in love.

I have a couple: "Something" by of course, the Beatles and my personal favorite, "You Look Wonderful Tonight" - Eric Clapton. I guess that is what happens after 20 years of marrage. :D

four pages of responses,not one mention of HERE, THERE and
EVERYWHERE. thats sad.Home thoughts from abroad,she,
both by jack jones,or IF,by bread.

too many to choose from
 

Let's see...

Depeche Mode - Somebody (Unbelievably even after knowing how it was recorded!!)(something about a miror)
Nat King Cole - Smile
Bette Middler - The Rose
Clint Black & Lisa Hartman - When I Say I Do
Lady in Red - Chris DeBurgh
Frank Sinatra - The Way You Look Tonight
Sometimes When we Touch - Dan Hill
Natalie Cole - A Smile Like Yours
Glenn Miller - At Last
Valentine - Martina McBride

Something in the way she moves - James Taylor
Time in a bottle - Jim Croce
Open Arms - Journey
Strong Enough - Cheryl Crow

Ok- so I prefer the "unrequited love songs" to the "everything is always perfect with you" songs! :) Still about love!

Ophelia

Something
 

Just a bibliography note on Something (in the way she moves) by James Taylor:

It was orignally on the Beatles Abbey Road album and was one of the few songs the band recorded written by George Harrison.

Ironically, Frank Sinatra said it was his favorite Lennon-McCartney song.

It was written for Patty Boyd, Harrison's wife at the time. Patty Boyd eventually began an affair with Eric Clapton who went on to write "You Look Wonderful Tonight" and "Layla" for her.

At one point in time, Clapton and Harrison toured together calling themselves "Husbands-in-law."

Mustn a been some lady
 

to have inspired such wonderful songs.

Fang
 

TY for the insight. I didn't figure that JT wrote the song, as many of the tunes he is famous for were works by others...but I didn't know all the trivia.

Didn't play college bowl, did ya?

Ophelia

College Bowl?
 

Okay, clue me in, what's college bowl?

College Bowl is like toilet bowl only you don't flush! Irish

Re: Mustn a been some lady
 

Absolutely... just to add some detail to what Fang said, "Layla" came out of EC's frustration over his love for his best friend George's wife... "Wonderful Tonight" came out of a different frustration, one that many men know; Patti was taking a long time getting ready to go out, & he told her "you look wonderful tonight"... as in, "Can we please go now?" ;)

Fang
 

College Bowl is like Jeopardy, only in teams. It's the bowl for the smart/trivia oreinted students that doesn't require any athletic ability, only knowledge. Many colleges compete against other Universities in their conference (much like athletics), but there are also national competitions.

Many of the questions and categories are based on trivial knowledge (trivial as in not "unimportant" but rather "little known facts")

Irish...not so much like a toilet bowl, but thanks for playing! :)

Ophelia

Ophelia---I was kidding about that also!I have been out of school
since 1961 so I don't know alot about the current educational
changes.I know that there was a big change with my daughters;
and they are in their 30s now.They each have 2 children.One is a
special ed kid;so I can't go by his teachings.I have been a mechanic all of my life and there wasn't any time for going to school.Rule#1:Don't take anything that Irish says seriously.When
you get used to me;you will know that!This is a place to joke around with the other people.Nothing nasty is ever said without
one saying so. Irish

Getting back to subject matter,

The Look of Love
If You Should go Away
The Late Great DUSTY SPRINGFIELD.

At This Moment, Billy Vera.

All in Love is Fair, Stevie Wonder.

You want SAD,
Any thing by JANIS IAN,especialy In The Winter,
My Love Forgive Me, Al Martino

PS.ANY ONE WHO HAD A HEART. Dionne Warwick

etc etc etc

I just heard one I love
 

"I'll Stand By You" by the Pretenders.... just love her voice too!

These modern songs inspire passion, but not love.

The last true modern love song I remember hearing was

Whitney's "And I will always love you".

Oldies rule here.

Irish, please stop picking on Ophelia.

Ophelia, kiss better anyway.

Oldfart, put that gorgeous thing down!!

(Sorry)

when my wife and i started dating and living together in my fifth wheel trailer, it seemed like every night as we went to bed the radio would play ''TEARS IN HEAVEN'' by.......eeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr, can't remember his name but i think he was one of the Beatles.
anyway,that became Our song as we laid there making plans for our future. everytime i hear it on the radio i think about those early years and how our love has changed in some areas and has remained the same in others.;)

That would be Eric Clapton, not quite one of the Beatles, tho he did sit in on some George Harrison songs... he was with several groups in the 60's, Yardbirds, Bluesbreakers, Cream, a lot of solo work since. BTW, "Tears" was written for his 5-yr-old son Conner, who died after falling out a window... could make it one of the greatest Love songs of all time, imo...

you're right! thanks for that correction scotz. all i know is it sends us both into ''cuddle mode'' when we hear it!:D

Yeppers Oldfart...I always will!! ;)

Great song to make love too!!!

One in a Million (you) Larry Graham

Here we are--Atlantic Starr

know the title to this???
 

I just heard a song at work by john lennon, goes something like ...... i love you, now and for ever ; i think it is titled ''WOMAN''
but i'm not sure. can anyone help me out here??:(

Re: Woman
 

It is. (If we're both thinking of the same song):


Woman I can hardly express My mixed emotions at my thoughtlessness After all I'm forever in your debt And woman I will try to express My inner feelings and thankfulness For showing me the meaning of success ooh well

Woman I know you understand The little child inside the man Please remember my life is in your hands And woman hold me close to your heart However distant don't keep us apart After all it is written in the stars ooh well

Woman please let me explain I never meant to cause you sorrow or pain So let me tell you again and again (I love you now and forever)

THAT'S THE ONE!!!!!!!!! THANKS NUBIAN!! i hate getting a song in my head and can't remember the name of it........anyway how's that for a love song,,,,,,:cool:

One of the best, from **the** very best. Lyrics so simple, yet so true.
