So many it's hard to choose.

a reply to: NightFlight Perfect song! Just what I was thinking when I posted the OP!

a reply to: Skid Mark Thanks for that, I sometimes hate those red squiggly lines... they make me question myself. Lol! Tim Curry is very versatile! My first memory of him will always be Dr. Frankenfurter!
Thank you for sharing the lovely love songs!😊

Bobby Darin - More

I found this song by accident when looking for an appropriate "first dance" tune for my wedding. It showed up 5 minutes (i.e. 1 song) into the search. Perfect.

Tony Bennett - I Wanna Be Around

This one came up in the same search... but is more about the vengeful feelings that come after the heart-ripped-out phase.

Enjoy!

a reply to: TNMockingbird Perfect love song! Thank you, I had forgotten about that one!

a reply to: alldaylong I always enjoy your song picks, Thank you! I love that one by the Troggs!
Adele's voice is so beautiful and even a little haunting... I started to feel a bit of sadness.

How could I forget my favorite band The Mountain Goats

"some thing's you'll do for money, and some you'll do for fun, but the things you do for love are gonna come back to you one by one . . . "

about the song

John says: "The point of the song is, you know, that we are fairly well damaged by the legacy of the Romantic poets--that we think of love as this, you know, thing that is accompanied by strings and it's a force for good, and if something bad happens then that's not love. And the therapeutic tradition that I come from--I used to work in therapy--you know, also says that it's not love if it feels bad. I don't know so much about that. I don't know that the Greeks weren't right. I think they were--that love can eat a path through everything--that it will destroy a lot of things on the way to its own objective, which is just its expression of itself, you know. I mean, my stepfather loved his family, right? Now he mistreated us terribly quite often, but he loved us. And, you know, well, that to me is something worth commenting on in the hopes of undoing a lot of what I perceive as terrible damage in the way people talk about this--love is this benign, comfortable force. It's not that. It's wild, you know?"
