What is the most romantic song? |
|
September Song, Kurt Weill and Maxwell Anderson from Knickerbocker Holiday.
Oh, it's a long, long while From May to December But the days grow short When you reach September When the autumn weather Turns the leaves to flame One hasn't got time For the waiting game
Oh, the days dwindle down To a precious few September, November And these few precious days I'll spend with you These precious days I'll spend with you

Especially poignant if one gets married later in life (and in September), as we did.
I'm also partial to "Beautiful" by Gordon Lightfoot, and lots of Johnny Mathis.

2. my song has no words... |
|
it was just something that my girlfriend and me listen to, we embraced, and it was wonderful. its slow, has a kinda "end of summer" feel to it, its called...
SLEEPWALK
and its by Santos and Johnny. its a great song. I never knew the name of it or the people that did it until last week. I was on a quest to find out for about 3 years. I've never felt more relieved in my life.

6. Surely one of the sublime songs by Van Morrison |
|
Maybe "Into the Mystic" or "Moondance" or even "Crazy Love."

That is by far my favorite romantic song by Van.
What a master.

9. "In Your Eyes", "The Way you look...", & "Angel, Angel" Morrissey |
|
Edited on Sat Sep-13-03 10:39 PM by tjdee
Yeah, there's the "In Your Eyes", "The Way You Look Tonight", and dozens others, but Morrissey's "Angel, Angel, Down we go together"... now that's real good. Maybe not so much romantic as it is...I dunno.
"Angel, Angel Don't take your life tonight I know they take And that they take in turn And they give you nothing real For yourself in return
But when they've used you And they've broken you And they've wasted all your money And cast your shell aside
And when they've bought you And they've sold you And they've billed you for the pleasure And they've made your parents cry I will be here OH, BELIEVE ME I will be here ...believe me
Angel, don't take your life Some people have got no pride They do not understand The Urgency of life But I love you more than life I love you more than life I love you more than life I love you more than life"

From the ancient sun to the old heart stove come the troubadours From the city gates to the castle walls it's the troubadours On a sunlit day it was bright and clear And the people came from far and they came from near To hear the troubadours
Well the troubadours sang their songs of love to the lady fair She was sitting outside on a balcony in in the cool night air It was a starry night the moon was shining bright And the trumpets rang and they gave a chime For the troubadours
And for everyman all across the land and from shore to shore They came singin' songs of love and chivalry from the days of yore
Baby lift your window high do you hear that sound It's the troubadours as they go through town
Baby lift your window high do you hear that sound It's the troubadours with their freedom song
Lift your window high turn your lamp down low baby Don't you know i love you so
Lift your window high do you dig that sound It's the troubadours coming through town
Van Morrison
do ya hear that sound? give a listen, dp

I am not sure who wrote it.
I also like Rita Coolidges version of "Were All Alone".

16. Magdelene by Hybrid Ice |
|
Yes, Boston did this song, but it was a remake. I've been nostalgic of late and that's the song that was playing on the radio when I lost my virginity. I just found out Hybrid Ice is back together and doing more tours in Central PA. I may just have to go see them in concert again and maybe pick up their CD (ironically I had all the local Central PA bands on Vinyl like The Sharks, The Inciters and Kix, but not Hybrid Ice).
