Love Song...s
 

I'm surprised that there isn't a thread on this already. Love songs have a wide range as it's probably the most covered theme in music.

What are your all-time favorite love songs?

Places Named After Numbers - Frank Black

it's a love song about a black hole.

I Luv You Really Lots and Stuff - The Luvvers

The Cure - Love Song

A perfect encapsulation of commitment and longing in roughly 4 minutes.

Agreed about The Cure, that's one of the best love songs ever; It fitting deserves its title.

Other ones I can think of:
"The Only One" by The Black Keys (Kind of a sad/happy love song. I struggle to ever listen to it to this day because it was always reminds me of an ex girlfriend.)
"Cotton Crown" by Sonic Youth
"Drain You" by Nirvana
"47" by Sunny Day Real Estate
"Out Go The Lights" by Spoon

Weezer - Why Bother

Currently mine would be:

The Cure - Love Song
Kevin Shields - City Girl
My Bloody Valentine - Sometimes
Half Japanese - Roman Candles
John Lennon - Love
Jeff Mangum - I love how you love me

"I Love Her All The Time"

:cool:

One of the best songs ever written.

Ah yes - Neil and his "falsetto" - the sound he ultimately perfected for his "After The Gold Rush" album.

Good to hear this again (after all this time)

Leo Sayer - I Can't Stop Loving You

Something by Brainbombs

Not Brainbombs, obviously

I dont know how to define a love song, as a song about love or a song that evokes love.

Youre my best friend Queen

Sielun Veljet: Rakkaudesta
New Order: Paradise

Roky Erickson - I Love The Living You

Crimpshrine - Summertime

Twee Pop:
Watercolor Paintings - You and Me
Beat Happening - Cast a Shadow
Heavenly - C is the Heavenly Option
The Vaselines - Rory Rides Me Raw

Indie:
The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs (all of them)
Sebadoh - Brand New Love
Camper Van Beethoven - All Her Favorite Fruit

Folk:

Simon & Garfunkel - For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her

I think Lou Reed's cover of "This Magic Moment" is pretty much the perfect love song to me.

Also by Dylan, "Sara" (which namechecks "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands") and the entirety of Blood on the Tracks.

I made this mix for my wife like 6 or 7 yrs ago called Sonic Love Songs. it's all SY songs I think of as love songs. "Kotton Krown" guys. OMG.

Yeah, back when I was a single 20-year-old, I could have listed love songs all day long. Growing up and getting hitched tends to change that I think.

I really don't enjoy lyrics.
