I was just listening to this playlist (http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2015/02/10/385174863/love-songs-you-love-to-love) on All Songs Considered on NPR and it inspired me to create a playlist of my own with my favorites. What are your favorite love songs? Other than those on the NPR list, two of my favorites are Sweet Disposition by the Temper Trap and One Day Like This by Elbow.
-
LOVE La Vie En Rose (Louis Armstrong)! I also love your addition of Sweet Disposition. I love music, so I'm gonna have to think about this one.
-
Oh man, what a great list!!
Kind of unconventional but I love the song As Long As You're Mine from the musical Wicked.
-
@Shutterbug: Let me know what you would add! I'd love to have more ideas to add to my playlist.
@mediagirl: I am ashamed that as someone who likes musical theatre, I don't know any of the music from Wicked. I'll have to check that out.
-
Your Song by Elton John. It makes me tear up every time. There are so many good ones though.
-
I always liked "will you still love me" by chicago.
-
Our wedding song instantly triggers love for me. Come Away With Me by Norah Jones.
-
Ahhh I can't choose. There are two many. Off the top of my head I love "Such Great Heights" by the Postal Service and "God Only Knows" by the Beach Boys.
ETA: Oh, and "When You Say Nothing At All" by Alison Krauss
-
ok, I'm drawing a blank, but here are some that I love, though I don't think they're all greatest of all time material:
Somebody Loved by The Weepies
1000 Years by Christina Perri (even though it's from Twilight!)
You Are the Best Thing by Ray LaMontagne
Hallelujah I Love Her So by Ray Charles (though it's more upbeat than a typical love song)
Such Great Heights (the Iron & Wine version)
The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson because it's just so sweet
One and Only by Adele (maybe not really a love song?) -
@.twist.: love that song!!!
-
@Shutterbug: La Vie En Rose is probably one of the most beautiful songs on the earth.
ETA: It also, always, makes me think of Wall-E now. haha
ETAETA: The Way You Look Tonight - Tony Bennett version
-
To make you feel my love
This Never Happened Before (Paul McCartney) -
@.twist.: me too, so good
-
@.twist.: I totally agree! When they used it in WALL-E I cried
ETA: And +1 to the Tony Bennett version of The Way You Look Tonight! -

It was our first dance song at our wedding.
-
La Vie en Rose is just gorgeous.
Something. In My Life, and Here, There and Everywhere by The Beatles and The Luckiest by Ben Folds.

Wow that is such a great play list!

"The Luckiest" by Michael Franti
