Love Song Recommendations Please?


Recommended Posts

OK so James Blunt is not everyones cup of tea, but I like his music...there I said it. You can see the video and hear the song on You Tube it is beautiful. I also like some of the songs on the soundtrack for the movie Across the Universe. These are remixes of Beatles songs as song by the movie cast. They are wonderful My favorite is Something.

I want to load some more romantic music on my Zune. What do you like that is fairly current and very romantic? I would like to keep it all music that is no more than 2 or 3 years old.

 

This is not two or three years old, but it is so beautiful I just had to post it. :) "I Wear Your Love" by Kathy Mattea.

 

The things I've collected bought or selected

The clutter that fills up my rooms

I can lock up and leave it never retrieve it

Leave nothing but my love for you

Let the storm winds blow I will not be cold

 

I wear your love thrown over my shoulders like a blanket of down

I wear your love like a bright suit of armor reflecting the sun

On the chilliest night though I travel light

It is always enough for I wear your love

 

You watched without knowing where I was going

Trusting the vision I'd found

For if dreams were a fire I had desire

That could burn this old house to the ground

So I walk quite free for surrounding me

 

I wear your love like a scarf that I borrowed that still holds your perfume

I wear your love pulled tight as I'm sleeping under a cold lover's moon

On the chilliest night though I travel light

It is always enough for I wear your love

 

Don't you know can't you see head to toe it is covering me

Like a stone the oceans's tide nothing can hurt me or turn me aside

 

For I wear your love thrown over my shoulders like a blanket of down

I wear your love like a badge of devotion of love and beyond

On the chilliest night though I travel light

It is always enough for I wear your love

It is always enough for I wear your love

That is a great song! Another wonderfully romantic song by Mattea is Where Have You Been?

 

I also don't stay "up to date" on music, so some of these are older than three years, but some other romantic songs I like are:

 

John Mayer's Your Body is a Wonderland and Come Back to Bed

Harry Connick, Jr.'s renditions of Our Love is Here to Stay and It Had To Be You

Feist's Mushaboom

Iron & Wine's Naked As We Came & Love and Some Verses

Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah (not traditionally romantic, but dh and I think it's romantic)

Ladysmith Black Mambazo's Hello My Baby

Newsboys' Something Beautiful

Sixpence None the Richer's Kiss Me

Faith Hill's This Kiss

Serene & Pearl's My Heart is Full

Enjoy listening to your music. I love making music mixes.

These are too old to fit your parameters, but they are obscure and beautiful. (I'm sorry that I'm not following the rules, but I don't keep up with new music, sadly.)

 

The Luckiest by Ben Folds

 

The Voyage by Christie Moore

 

THE VOYAGE:

I am a sailor & you're my first mate

We signed on together, we coupled our fate.

We hauled up our anchor determined not to fail

For the hearts treasure together set sail.

 

With no maps to guide us we steered our own course

Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force

Sat out the doldrums in patience and hope

Working together we learned how to cope.

 

Chorus:

Life is an ocean, and love is a boat

In troubled waters it keeps us afloat.

When we started the voyage there was just me and you

Now gathered round us we have our own crew.

 

Together we're in this relationship

We've built it with care to last the whole trip

Our true destination's not marked on any chart

We're navigating for the shores of the heart.

 

Chorus: Chorus:

What kind of romantic music do you like?

Vocal vs. Instrumental?

Nora Jones like or Tony Bennett?

:bigear:

Just to shake things up a bit, here is a lovely and strange song that I found romantic back in the day. ;)

 

Song to the Siren by This Mortal Coil

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFAHVIyhtb0

 

Yep! Brings me back. :)

 

Loved This Mortal Coil and Cocteau Twins. I found just about all of their music quite romantic. And lol, you have not heard "Frosty the Snowman" until you've heard Liz Fraser sing it. ;)

 

Check out Evangeline

 

It probably doesn't qualify as a love song and definitely not as a recent song, but... ah- so pretty.

 

...I can't help it, check out Pandora too.
