Annie Lennox - Love Song For A Vampire

all other "love" songs are just mushy nonsense...

 

[Enverxis]

While not the best love song, not the best kind of music for a love song, but different nonetheless.

Atrox - Heartquake

How I'd love to experience a heartquake
But oh so afraid it will end up with a heartache

These untimely little deaths
Would leave me out of breath
Life would flash before my eyes

You might become a liability
And I a reliability
Still I'd know how it feels

The absence
Is highly present
It smothers me
Absorbs me like a black hole
The absence of longing
Fills up time and space
Tons and tons of emptiness
Weigh upon me

You're a bumpkin groping and falling
But you're my pumpkin prescious adoring
Wish for you to say it
First

Better to have failed in true love
Than never knowing what you long for
Better to feel pain
Than to feel nothing

 

[Steve999]

Joni Mitchell -- A Case of You
Roberta Flack -- The First Time Ever I Saw You Face

 

[Zanth]

Probably would be voted the best:
Unchained Melody

My favourites:
U2: All I want is you
U2: With or without

and for my wife...(gag me)
Richard Marx: Right here waiting

And a different type of love song, the love shared between a father and a son (or at least admiration and deep respect):
The Tragically Hip: The Lonely End of the Rink.

Let me add one more Eva Cassidy song to the list: "You Take My Breath Away" from the album "American Tunes."

100% agree. The emotion in that song is awe inspiring.

[Head Creep]

The two best albums about love are both by Marvin Gaye: Let's Get It On and Here My Dear. Just look at the song titles. "Let's Get It On", "You Sure Love To Ball", "Just To Keep You Satisfied" and "Keep Gettin' It On" turned into "Is That Enough", "Anger", "Time To Get It Together", "Everybody Needs Love" and "When Did You Stop Loving Me, When Did I Stop Loving You". The man knows what he's talking about.

also, i second Grinch's "Love Song" by The Cure. they make some great songs about loss love and such, but "Love Song" is definitely one of their rare straight ahead love song.
