What is the absolute greatest love song of all time? I have lots of favorites but want to know what all of you think. I know we have discussed *F* Me music but I am looking for love songs. I guess for some those will be the same. Tell me who sings it if you know too. I, for example love, Al Green's Let's Stay Together but I am not sure if it is the greatest. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~>Lilith

Brings to mind a wonderful slow dance which is the best part of a slow love song. That rhythmic sway........~~~~~~~~>Lilith

I'm dating myself here, with my choice of group's and the song is more recent, but my favorite is the one that my wife and I call "our" song.

When You Love a Woman by Journey.

They were much more popular in the mid-late 80's than when they did this song back in 1997, but its words happen to fit our situation almost perfectly.

Also along this line is romantic music by Jim Brickman..most of his is instrumental, but it sets the mood very well.

Favourite love songs... Can't possibly pick just one.

I wasn't even born when most of these were recorded. Still love 'em, though.

My all-time fave has to be John Denver's 'Annie's Song' (1974) --- just like in my own poems, I'm all about sensuality and sensory imagery. This fits the bill perfectly --- and I quote:

"You fill up my senses / Like a night in a forest / Like the mountains in springtime / Like a walk in the rain // Like a storm in the desert / Like a sleepy blue ocean / You fill up my senses / Come fill me again // Come let me love you / Let me give my life to you / Let me drown in your laughter / Let me die in your arms / Let me lay down beside you / Let me always be with you / Come let me love you / Come love me again // You fill up my senses / Like a night in a forest / Like the mountains in springtime / Like a walk in the rain // Like a storm in the desert / Like a sleepy blue ocean / You fill up my senses / Come fill me again"

Man. If only I could write like that. That song always transports me.........

Or what about Simon and Garfunkel's 'Kathy's Song', (1966) --- (I'll only quote part of it here):

"... And so you see I have come to doubt / all that I once held as true. / I stand alone without beliefs. / The only truth I know is you. // And as I watch the drops of rain / weave their weary paths and die / I know that I am like the rain. / There but for the grace of you go I."

*swooning* Ahhhh........ Beautiful.

More sweet ones include Donovan's 'Catch the Wind'; Gordon Lightfoot's 'Song for a Winter's Night'; Stan Roger's '45 Years'; Van Morrison's 'Crazy Love'; and Leonard Cohen's 'Suzanne'.

I'm in a folksy mood tonight, apparently. Maybe tomorrow night I'll be thinking jazz (Ella, Louis, Frank, Billie, Duke... all good choices) or blues (oh, I just have to mention Eric Clapton's 'Tears in Heaven') or goodness knows what else. Medieval madrigals perhaps, or Zulu chants? I have weird taste...

(For something that dates from within my actual lifespan, I'd have to say 'Dark Angel' by Sarah McLachlan and Blue Rodeo or maybe Dave Matthews Band's 'The Space Between'.)

My wifes was always "Slow Hands"for obvious reasons.She said
that it reminded her of when I used to masturbate her and drive
her crazy;by going slowly;when we were dating!
I'm dating myself but I and; a female coworker; used to like"Hot
Stuff" by Donna Summer(sp?)when I worked at Sikorsky in Conn.
Irish
P.S.Yes;I did have my sexual daliances when younger;to prove
that I "still had it."I would kill if the shoe was on the other foot.
Is that male chovunism;or what?

It's not a song, but the sexiest music is Rachmaninoff(sp?)

Variation 18 of Variations on a theme by Paganini.

They used it as the love theme in "Somewhere in Time".

this sounds cliched but the one that really springs to mind is *stand inside your love* - smashing pumpkins

it's a really powerful song and it wrestles with the idea of love very well for a 4 or so minute rock song. I think you have to hear it really.
