I agree with you Virgo102, How Deep Is Your Love is among the best love songs ever written. I would also have to add (now this list threatens to take up a full page but..let's see).
The Beatles - Long and Winding Road, Something in the Way, In My Life, When I'm 64 (the way I envision tried and true love to be) Coldplay - Fix You, Yellow, the Scientist, Warning Sign, Sparks, Til Kingdom Comes Antonio Carlos Jobim - Corcovado, O Grande Amor Alison Kraus - When You Say Nothing At All Leonard Cohen - Dance Me to the End of Love, Waiting for the Miracle, Hallelujah (Jeff Buckley's interpretation is prob. even more beautiful than the original) Donovan - Catch the Wind Billy Holiday - All of Me Cassandra Wilson - Harvest Moon (Neil Young cover) Ryan Adams - La Cienga Just Smiled (reminds me of my current situation), Wonderwall (Oasis cover) Snow Patrol - Run, Chasing Cars Etta James - At Last Enya - On Your Shore John Lennon - Grow Old With Me, Woman, Oh My Love Joseph Arthur - Honey and the Moon Kenny Rogers - Through the Years, Lady, She Believes in Me, (Islands in the Stream with Dolly Parton is also sweet) Annie Lennox - Love Song for a Vampire Nina Simone - Wild is the Wind The Cure - Letter to Elise, Treasure, Pictures of You Van Morrison - Crazy Love, Tupelo Honey, Someone Like You, These are the Days REM - At My Most Beautiful Red House Painters - Michigan Police - Every Little Thing She Does is Magic INXS - Not Enough Time Ray LaMontagne - Shelter .. Celine Dion - First Time I Saw Your Face, My Heart Will Go On Keane - Sunshine, Somewhere Only We Know Paul Weller - You Do Something to Me Stevie Wonder - You and I, As Nick Drake - Northern Sky Sade - By Your Side Sting - I Burn For You, Fields of Gold, Sister Moon, When We Dance Starship - Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Know (loved this song as a kid) Ian Brown - Sweet Fantastic Concrete Blonde - Mandocello Velvet Underground - Sweet Jane (Cowboy Junkies cover is beautiful also), I'll Be Your Mirror David Gray - This Year's Love, Sail Away Loredana Berte - Ninna Nanna (Lullaby), Buon Giorno Anche a Te (good morning to you too)
But as Bille Holiday also sings "You don't know what love is, til you've learned the meaning of the blues, until you've loved a love you've had to lose"..soo some of the songs that I feel really capture the depth of love and loss are
James - Out the Get You Alison Krauss - Ghost in This House (hauntingly piercing), Dreaming my Dreams Colin Hays - I Don't Think I'll Get Over You Clapton - River of Tears Katie Melua - Closest Thing to Crazy Sezen Aksu - Kavaklar Bell XI - Eve the Apple of My Eye, In Every Sunflower Amos Lee - Colors Moby - Porcelain Cowboy Junkies - Blue Moon (Elvis cover) Luca Carboni - Il Mio Cuore Fa Ciok (no exact translation but, my something like, 'my heart under attack' Cocteau Twins - Half-Gifts
I'm sorry! I just can't take this seriously at all!! I suppose it's becuase my generation usually thinks loves a joke.....give me a long list of one-nighters, and a bottle of moonshine to keep me warm at night! lol 😛
Almost any song by Darren Hayes - 'I Knew I Loved You' & 'Truly Madly Deeply' (his voice/the way he emotes is off the charts, he is truly unique..) Sinead O Connor - 'Nothing Compares to U', sung to perfection (Bravo to Prince for writing this one)
..and VirgoExhalted, why such a cynic? Though admittedly your acronym is pretty funny..but I don't think only introverts fall in love. I would feel pretty sorry for extroverts if that were the case though.
lol given the all the recomendations comming from the golden oldies era, I decided to term it towards the nmeumonic C.L.A.S.S.I.C. 😛 I wouldn't say I'm a Cynic (although every Cynic is just a broken hearted/impatient idealist) lol 😛 give me time, In the words of Richard Pryor,
"I ain't dead yet!" lol
