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

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)

Congratulations Skin!

..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
