My Own Favourite Love Song
 

FRANKKIE GOES TO HOLLYWOOD-THE POWER OF LOVE




So you know

Mine would be "Maps" by YYY.
This song always makes me cry although in general I'm really hell of a tough guy. Something like this one:

today your love,tomorrow the world

To me, not being a fan of many love songs, I think Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic by The Police is my favorite love song ever. I never tire of that song - it's so well written.

"Are You The One That I've Been Waiting For" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

I've felt you coming girl, as you drew near
I knew you'd find me, cause I longed you here
Are you my desitiny? Is this how you'll appear?
Wrapped in a coat with tears in your eyes?
Well take that coat babe, and throw it on the floor
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

As you've been moving surely toward me
My soul has comforted and assured me
That in time my heart it will reward me
And that all will be revealed
So I've sat and I've watched an ice-age thaw
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built
Out of longing great wonders have been willed
They're only little tears, darling, let them spill
And lay your head upon my shoulder
Outside my window the world has gone to war
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

O we will know, won't we?
The stars will explode in the sky
O but they don't, do they?
Stars have their moment and then they die

There's a man who spoke wonders though I've never met him
He said, "He who seeks finds and who knocks will be let in"
I think of you in motion and just how close you are getting
And how every little thing anticipates you
All down my veins my heart-strings call
Are you the one that I've been waiting for?

Although you have to hear it to fully appreciate its beauty.

Another would be:
"R U Still In 2 It" by Mogwai

Are you still into it? 'cause I'm still into it.

We haven't had sore bits for about a fortnight.

Am I your only one? 'Cause you're still my only one.

But if you need more, I'll just do it in some, right.



We should go into town and spend some money.

We could go to the pictures and see something funny.

We'd share a popcorn and we can go to the pub at night.

We can get right tanked up and go home and have a fight.



Will you still miss me, when I'm gone?

Is there love there, even when I'm wrong?

Will you still kiss me, if you find out?

I will now leave you but don't follow me.

I will leave you and I will miss you.

My favourite love song would probably be close to you by the Carpenters, because it genuinely is that good. However, in relationships, the 'our songs' tend to be things like 'I luv Speed' by Lolita Storm or Erasure's 'I love to hate you' or Merzbow's 1930 (she was a strange one).

Actually it's not,i've changed my mind.It would have to be Missy Elliot's 'Take Away'...........................for now.

Missy Elliott! Shit, that's reminded me of something to post on the London gigs thread...

Every Time We Say Goodbye - (standard) originally by Cole Porter

Naima - John Coltrane (becoming a standard)

No Sense - Cat Power
God is Dad - Arab on Radar
