Your Favorite Romantic Songs

[eleanor]

[font=trebuchet ms]
I'm sort of on the hunt for some good romance songs, but I'm no real music whiz. I like everything, mainstream included, but here are some of my favorite love songs:

- Hold You in My Arms by Ray LaMontagne
- Slow Dancing in a Burning Room by John Mayer
- Engine Driver by The Decemberists
- The Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice
- Run by The Snow Patrol
- I Can Feel a Hot One by Manchester Orchestra (er...don't really know if this counts as 'romance' lol)
- Dancing by Elisa
- Your Song from [i]Moulin Rouge[/i]
- Forever by Chris Brown

Those were completely off the top of my head, but I guess it will give people a sense of what I like. Or just list your favorites, whatever, anything that'll get me listening to new stuff.[/font]

Well I don't really listen to anything that would qualify as romance music, but there is one song I know that probably qualifies:

[B][U][URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHa2SgShQPA&feature=related"]Enchant - "Beautiful"[/URL][/U][/B]

[Lunar]

[COLOR="Indigo"]Me no likey romance. However, some songs just make me melt.
Lost Without U - Robin Thicke
Fortunate - Maxwell
Rush Rush - Paula Abdul
Until the End of Time - Justin Timberlake
Can You Feel the Love Tonight? - Elton John
Killing Me Softly with His Song
I'm sure there are more. Just the ones I can think of right now.[/COLOR]

With You-Chris Brown
Suffocate-J. Holiday

I can't think of anymore off of the top of my head.

Strange... Except for the last two (and the Manchester Orchestra one) You pretty much named all of them. If not the exact song, then the artists responsible for the song. I would post them again, but your list is too perfect and I don't want to muck it up.

[FONT="Arial"]I'm not sure what you consider "romance," but if I were to make a playlist about love, this is what I'd put on it:

Goo Goo Dolls; "Iris"
Death Cab For Cutie; "I Will Follow You Into the Dark"
Rihanna; "Umbrella"
Blaqk Audio; "Semiotic Love"
The Postal Service/Iron & Wine; "Such Great Heights"

And I'd probably include some lusty songs for good measure:

Blaqk Audio; "Cities of Night" and "Between Breaths (An XX Perspective)"
Medic Droid; "Fer Sure"
Nine Inch Nails; "Closer"
Murder By Death; "Fuego!"
Paper Rival; "Love You Dead"

[COLOR="Purple"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I don't really like romantic songs, but of the few that I do enjoy:

"Even in Death" by: Evanescence
"Mr. Brightside" by: The Killers (if that counts)
"Our Farewell" by: Within Temptation
"Solitude" by: Evanescence
"Diary of Jane" (acoustic version) by: Breaking Benjamin
"First Love" (piano version) by: Utada Hikaru (it's got "love" in the title!)
"Sally's Song" by: Amy Lee from The Nightmare Before Christmas OST (called "The Nightmare Revisited")
[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Zemixos]

I like the songs ''Everytime we Touch'' and ''Keep Holding on''

[I, Colossus]

Definitely some good ones so far, particularly Damien Rice. The Blowers Daughter is beatiful and the entire album is heartwrenching. When it comes to "romantic" songs, or songs about love I generally listen to songs on the other end of the spectrum. I think BOTH sides of love are essential to the human expirience. So, I'm going to throw in a few depressing songs (dealing with love) for good measure, lol.

First off, [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEl4lBTc2Po"]All I Really Want To Do[/URL] by the legendary Bob Dylan is probably my favorite love song, and the most true to my own expiriences with the emotion.

Both [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20PQBtyfNZY"]All I Want Is You[/URL], and [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N3BjVMWziE"]Anybody Else But You[/URL] from the Juno soundtrack are extremely cute and simple love songs.

There are a really good amount of love songs from the Scrubs soundtrack that I really enjoy too. The main one being [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQnKBWkk_4M"]Question?[/URL] by the Old 97s. Really good alt-country band I fell in love with a few years back (when I heard Adelaide), they just performed here last Friday and I missed it cause of stupid money issues. :(

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuforTJvyDs"]Fresh Feeling[/URL] by the Eels.
[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRy8N1P1EUI"]Dreaming Of You[/URL] by the Coral.
And finally [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxS1gvQmEos"]Our Love[/URL] by Rhett Miller, the frontman of the Old 97s.

A few others that come to mind (no more links, ha, tired of that) are:
[LIST=1][*]Because + I've Just Seen A Face by The Beatles[*]Do You Realize?? by The Flaming Lips[*]Beck's cover of "True Love Will Find You In The End"*[*]Destiny by Zero 7[*]First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes
[/LIST]

* For the record, I prefer the original by Daniel Johnston, but Beck's version is probably a tad more acessable.

I'll be back to edit the heartbreak list, I require some gin, a joint, and some tissues before I attempt that, ha.

[size=1]The Moulin Rouge call was good, but you cannot put down [i]Your Song[/i] without adding [i]Come What May[/i] as well. So... Lets see to adding to the thread. :3
[list][*][b]Moulin Rouge[/b] - [i]Come What May[/i]
[*][b]Chris de Burgh[/b] - [color=red][i]Lady in Red[/i][/color] (cannot miss out on this one)

[*][b]Wir Sind Helden[/b] - [i]Ausser Dir[/i]
[*][b]Queen[/b] - [i]You Take My Breath Away[/i]
[*][b]Muse[/b] - [i]Unintended[/i]
[*][b]Aerosmith[/b] - [i]I Don't Want to Miss a Thing[/i]

[/list]

I think that's plenty for now. I make a hobby of putting together mixtapes, in a kind of obsessed High Fidelity-ish way, so yer, some love mixtapes werent out of the question. Right now working on a "Street Light Soundtrack" mixtape, filled with songs that are good for when its evening and you are going from one place to another - preferably with your head leaning against the glass of a car or train.[/size]

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vdm5x0BqM80"]"Freeze Ray (Laundry Day)[/URL] - From Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog, preformed by Neil Patrick Harris.

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=840B27zYfOk"]"Total Eclipse of the Heart"[/URL] - by Bonnie Tyler. It's a classic. Incidentally, I know all the words.

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxzBvqY5PP0"]"Digital Love"[/URL] - by Daft Punk. Good to see someone else mentioned them already.

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR8ZRfDPosE"]"Mr. Pitiful[/URL] - by Matt Costa. Yeah, Matt Costa kinda blows. Except on this song.

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H0BMfqFP9c"]"Everlong"[/URL] - by the Foo Fighters. This is really more of a love-story between me and the drums on this one, but there's love in there somewhere, so it counts, right?

[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sbP8cuxJD4"]"Cheap Like Sebastian"[/URL] - by the Apostle of Hustle. Little gem here...[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkOrchid"][FONT="Times New Roman"]Agreed. Totally. 100%.

I love the song On and On.

Really I find romantic songs depending on the people, who share a song. Me and my girlfriend have a semi-romantic song from the film "A Lot Like Love" its

Brighter Than Sunshine - Aqualung.

Hyperballad by Bjork
Thursday by Asobi Seksu
True Love Waits by Radiohead
True Love Will Find You In The End by Daniel Johnston

[phonet]

But You Love Me by Findlay Brown is an excellent example of a love song, and generally I hate those, but this is nice.

[Humaru]

Umm romance is a hard topic to narrow down music with but I guess this is what I can come up with:

1. "Can You feel the love the tonight" Lion King version because its awesome that way.

2.Stand by me- Ben E King....not too sure its a true romance song but it can be used in that manner.

3. Hikari- Hikaru Utada....kingdom hearts was all about romance and this song led the way for it.

4. Wasted- Gucci Mane....if this song isnt about romance then I dont know what is. lol.

[Solitude Toshi]

[COLOR=DarkSlateBlue][SIZE=1][FONT=Arial Narrow]Well. This will be quite fun then.

Hahaaaa. I love you. :)

Well, the only romantic song I can think of off the top of my head (that hasn't been listed already) is [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2GuK0kshNo"][u]"All I Ask of You"[/u][/URL] from Phantom of the Opera. Specifically, I'm thinking of the 2004 film, since that's the only version of Phantom that I've actually seen.
Anywho, I can't help but think it's romantic and sweet. Helps that you get this whole emotional buildup from the movie itself. I've said before that I'd have that song play at my wedding, and I'd still say that now.

[Anakoni Stark]

[font="Times New Roman"]- I Remember / deadmau5
- Tonight, Tonight / The Smashing Pumpkins
- [STRIKE]Something About Us & Digital Love / Daft Punk[/STRIKE] damn, already mentioned.
- Sunday / Bloc Party
- Undisclosed Desires (Walker Refix) / Muse
- Everlong / The Foo Fighters (although I think The Vitamin String Quartet's cover conveys more emotion.)
- She Loves Me So (Night Drive Version) / Anthony Green (Remixed by Innerpartysystem)

and for something anti-romantic, just for good measure:

You Don't Know Love (Boys Noize Remix) / Editors[/font]
