  • This is a great acoustic song written by a dutch band called racoon. It's very popular here in Holland. Hope you enjoy it.


    RACOON
    Love you more

    Clouds above go sailing by
    I found my meaning in this life
    clear white is flying in my eyes,
    underneath a blue, blue sky
    The waves come rolling in with the tide.
    I've been away too long
    and everyday I missed you more.
    You look like you did before
    only prettier.
    Everyday I love you more.

    All the people rushing by, by, by
    looking for meaning in this life
    so used up, and blinded by lies,
    They're underneath the blue, blue sky
    the way they seldom seem to smile
    I don't know why.

    'Cause I've been away too long
    and everyday I missed you more.
    You look like you did before,
    only prettier.
    Everyday I love you more.
    I love you more,
    everday I love you more,
    and more.

    Cause I've been away too long
    and everyday I missed you more.
    You look like you did before,
    only prettier.
    And everyday I missed you more,
    and more and more and more and more.
    I've been away too long
    and everyday I missed you more
    oh you look like you did before
    only prettier
    everyday I love you more.

    I love you more.
    Everyday I love you more.

    Bumping this up....and here's the one and only....Led Zeppelin!

    Thank You
    Led Zeppelin

    If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
    When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.

    Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.

    Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
    My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
    together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
    An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.

    And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
    Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
    Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.

    If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
    When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me....

    that reads as one gorgeous tune. :) thanks for sharing.



    reminded of this elsewhere...and man, talk about a beautiful song of love......


    hold on to the thread
    the currents will shift
    glide me towards...
    you know something's left
    and we're all allowed
    to dream of the next
    of the next time we touch...

    you don't have to stray
    the oceans away
    waves roll in my thoughts
    hold tight the ring...
    the sea will rise...
    please stand by the shore...
    i will be... i will be there once more...



    oh mmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy......unbelievably gorgeous.....and what emotion...
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    The One I Love
    REM

    This one goes out to the one I love
    This one goes out to the one I’ve left behind
    A simple prop to occupy my time
    This one goes out to the one I love

    Fire (she’s comin’ down on her own, now)

    This one goes out to the one I love
    This one goes out to the one I’ve left behind
    Another prop has occupied my time
    This one goes out to the one I love...

    Girl Stand Still-Catherine Wheel


    All I know it's not my turn to fear
    This much I know I watch the girl stand still
    This much I know a warning whispered in your ear
    All I know it's not my turn to fear

    There's a village far below
    I'm passing by so come on, come out to play
    Ask your mother, ask your mother
    And tell her why the time I called
    And the reason is I love you
    It justifies it all

    There's a secret I've been keeping
    Pushed aside and left behind
    It's back again like bad religion
    Oh we love to lose our minds
    Oh we love to lose our minds
    Oh we love to lose our minds
    You men eat your dinner
    Eat your pork and beans
    I eat more chicken
    Than any man ever seen

    "Banana Pancakes"

    Cant you see that its just raining
    Aint no need to go outside...
    But Baby, You hardly even notice
    When I try to show you this
    Song is meant to keep ya
    From doing what your supposed to
    Like waking up too early
    Maybe we can sleep in
    Ill make you banana pancakes
    Pretend like its the weekend now

    And we could pretend it all the time
    Cant you see that its just raining
    Aint no need to go outside

    But just maybe, laka ukulele
    Mommy made a baby
    Really don't mind the practice
    Cause your my little lady
    Lady lady love me
    Cause I love to lay here lazy
    We could close the curtains
    Pretend like there's no world outside

    And we could pretend it all the time
    Cant you see that its just raining
    Aint no need to go outside
    Aint no need aint no need Mmmm MMmmm
    Cant you see cant you see
    Rain all day
    And I don't mind.

    The telephone is singing
    Ringing its too early
    Don't pick it up
    We don't need to we got everything
    We need right here
    And everything we need is enough
    Just so easy
    When the whole world fits inside of your arms
    Don't really need to pay attention to the alarm
    Wake up slow, yeah wake up slow
    You hardly even notice
    When I try to show you this
    Song is meant to keep ya
    From doing what your supposed to
    Like waking up too early
    Maybe we can sleep in
    Ill make you banana pancakes
    Pretend like its the weekend now

    And we could pretend it all the time
    Can't you see that it's just raining
    Aint no need to go outside
    Aint no need, Aint no need
    Rain all day and I really really really don't mind
    Can't you see cant you see,
    You gotta wake up slow
    I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

    here's another gem from LAMB

    Lullaby

    Always and forever
    We'll be free
    Always and forever
    Be with me

    We'll have love aplenty
    We'll have joys outnumbered
    We'll share perfect moments
    You and me

    Always and forever
    You will see
    Always and forever
    Just be with me

    We'll have love aplenty
    We'll have joys outnumbered
    We'll share perfect moments
    You and me
    You and me
    You and me
    i. am. mine.

    Teardrop-Massive Attack
    (otherwise known as the theme song from the TV show House)

    Love, love is a verb
    Love is a doing word
    Feathers on my breath
    Gentle impulsion
    Shakes me makes me lighter
    Feathers on my breath

    Teardrop on the fire
    Feathers on my breath

    Nine night of matter
    Black flowers blossom
    Feathers on my breath
    Black flowers blossom
    Feathers on my breath

    Teardrop on the fire
    Feathers on my

    Water is my eye
    Most faithful mirror
    Feathers on my breath
    Teardrop on the fire of a confession
    Feathers on my breath
    Most faithful mirror
    Feathers on my breath

    Teardrop on the fire
    Feathers on my breath

    You're stumbling in the dark
    You're stumbling in the dark

    the words don't sound like they make sense but when you hear the whole song it all seems to make perfect sense. i'm not sure how or why.
    i. am. mine.

    Fade into you-Mazzy Star

    I want to hold the hand inside you
    I want to take a breath that's true
    I look to you and I see nothing
    I look to you to see the truth
    You live your life
    You go in shadows
    You'll come apart and you'll go black
    Some kind of night into your darkness
    Colors your eyes with what's not there.

    Fade into you
    Strange you never knew
    Fade into you
    I think it's strange you never knew

    A stranger's light comes on slowly
    A stranger's heart without a home
    You put your hands into your head
    And then smiles cover your heart

    Fade into you
    Strange you never knew
    Fade into you
    I think it's strange you never knew

    Fade into you
    Strange you never knew
    Fade into you
    I think it's strange you never knew
    I think it's strange you never knew
    i. am. mine.

    I always picture those people in the crowds at REM shows who hold each other tight and look into each other's eyes and sing the words and have this deep meaningful moment to a song that is clearly not a love song. That's all.

    Assuming that the poster is aware that it isn't a love song, I thought it was funny being posted in the love song thread. If they think it's a love song, then... :erm

    Of course, I am aware it's not a love song AndySlash. :rolleyes:

    But what you said is hilarious though, well I guess it's the same thing with what some people think of Betterman too.

    Anyway they can think whatever and interpret it anyway they want...I don't really see a problem to it IMO, well I just don't care. It's a song. To Each His Own. If it makes them happy and it has a different special meaning to them, then so be it.

    I guess ...from now on I'll stick with "really sappy love songs" here. :D

    Eternal Flame
    The Bangles

    Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
    Do you feel my heart beating?
    Do you understand?
    Do you feel the same?
    Am i only dreaming?
    Is this burning an eternal flame?

    I believe it's meant to be, darling
    I watch you when you are sleeping

    You belong with me
    Do you feel the same?
    Am i only dreaming?
    Or is this burning an eternal flame?

    Say my name, sun shines through the rain
    A whole life so lonely
    And then you come and ease the pain
    I don't want to lose this feeling oh

    Say my name, sun shines through the rain
    A whole life so lonely
    And then you come and ease the pain
    I don't want to lose this feeling oh

    Close your eyes, give me your hand, darling
    Do you feel my heart beating?
    Do you understand?
    Do you feel the same?
    Am i only dreaming?
    Is this burning an eternal flame?

  • little different song of love...but love nonetheless......



    Aqueous Transmission
    Incubus

    I'm floating down a river
    Oars freed from their holes long ago
    Lying face up on the floor of my vessel
    I marvel at the stars
    And feel my heart overflow

    Further down the river

    Two weeks without my lover
    I'm in this boat alone
    Floating down a river named emotion
    Will I make it back to shore
    Or drift into the unknown

    Further down the river

    I'm building an antenna
    Transmissions will be sent when I am through
    Maybe we'll meet again further down the river
    And share what we both discovered...
    Then revel in the view

    Further down the river
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...

  • Winners

    If I could put you in a frame I'd draw you smiling
    With a cigarette in your mouth and your hands reaching out for something
    If I could, if I could wear all your clothes I'd still be different
    And if I had your speaking voice I'd never whisper
    I'd talk and talk and talk

    We will be winners
    Our heads glued together
    And all is indefinite in you

    Whatever you've been told
    Don't turn to God because you're cold
    Try the black one, white is nice
    If you want blue, you'll pay the price
    Is there no room for us
    I'll make a space for us

    We will be winners
    Our heads glued together
    And all is indefinite in you

    Meet me in front of the room where we kissed
    Where you changed me, estranged me
    Where no one resists
    Where I followed you, hollowed by you

    We will be winners
    Our heads glued together
    And all is indefinite in you
    We will be winners
    We will be winners

    Have Love, Will Travel
    Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

    You never had a chance, did you baby
    So good-looking, so insecure
    And now you say you can't remember
    When the lines you drew began to blur

    Yeah, when all of this is over
    Should I lose you in the smoke
    I want you to know you were the one

    And may my love travel with you everywhere
    Yeah, may my love travel with you always

    Maggie's still trying to rope a tornado
    Joe's in the back yard trying to keep things simple
    And the lonely dj's diggin' a ditch
    Trying to keep the flames from the temple

    Oh, and if perhaps I lose you
    In the smoke down the road
    I want you to know you were the one

    And may my love travel with you everywhere
    Yeah, may my love travel with you always

    How about a cheer for all those bad girls
    And all the boys that play that rock and roll
    They love it like you love Jesus
    It does the same thing to their souls

    And when all of this is over
    Should I lose you in the smoke
    I want you to know, you were the one

    And may my love travel with you everywhere
    Yeah, may my love travel with you always
    "All the strength that you might think would disappear, resolving..."
  • even though the word *love* makes a rare appearnace, or none at all, in either of these tunes.....i absolutely hear them as love songs...


    AFTERGLOW
    Genesis

    Like the dust that settles all around me,
    I must find a new home.
    The ways and holes that used to give me shelter,
    Are all as one to me now.
    But I, I would search everywhere
    Just to hear your call,
    And walk upon stranger roads than this one
    In a world I used to know before.
    I miss you more.

    Than the sun reflecting off my pillow,
    Bringing the warmth of new life.
    And the sounds that echoes all around me,
    I caught a glimpse of in the night.
    But now, now I've lost everything,
    I give to you my soul.
    The meaning of all that I believed before
    Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one.

    And I would search everywhere
    Just to hear your call,
    And walk upon stranger roads than this one
    In a world I used to know before.
    For now I've lost everything,
    I give to you my soul.
    The meaning of all that I believed before
    Escapes me in this world of none,
    I miss you more.



    Only Us
    Peter Gabriel

    Only Us [x3]

    It wasn't in the words that kept sticking in their throats
    It wasn't with the angels in their quilted coats
    These battered wings still kick up dust
    Seduced by the noise and the bright things that glisten
    I knew all the time I should shut up and listen
    And I'm finding my way home from the great escape

    {Chorus:}
    The further on I go, oh the less I know
    I can find only us breathing
    Only us sleeping
    Only us dreaming
    Only us

    I hear you calling me
    Yes I hear you calling me
    Home from the great escape
    Yes I can read you loud and clear

    The further on I go, oh the less I know
    Friend or foe, there's only us

    [Chorus]

    I'm coming home again, home again
    And I hear you calling me home again
    I am coming home again

    Only us [x8]
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...

    bumping this up. :)

    Private Universe
    Crowded House

    no time no place to talk about the weather
    the promise of love is hard to ignore
    who said the chance wasn't getting any better
    the labour of love is ours to endure
    the highest branch on the apple tree
    it was my favourite place to be
    I could hear them breaking free
    but they could not see me
    I will run for shelter
    endless summer lift the curse
    it feels like nothing matters
    in our private universe
    I have all I want is that simple enough
    there's a whole lot more I'm thinking of
    every night about six o'clock
    birds come back to the palm to talk
    they talk to me, birds to talk to me
    if I go down on my knees
    I will run for shelter
    endless summer lift the curse
    it feels like nothing matters
    in our private universe
    it feels like nothing matters
    in our private universe
    and it's a pleasure that I have known
    and it's a treasure that I have gained
    and it's a pleasure that I have known
    it's a tight squeeze but I won't let go
    love is on the table and the dinner's cold
    I will run for shelter
    endless summer lift the curse
    it feels like nothing matters
    in our private universe

  • The subtle movements of her eyes said it all
    Made my thoughts wonder of, couldn’t get enough
    The perfume of this girls, in front of me, is killin’ me

    This soultrip rolls along this road
    Straight into the unknown is where I wanna go
    I’m losing my head, losing my head over her

    Spinning ‘round and ‘round so fast
    When she touches me and I see her smile
    She makes it all worthwhile
    Spinning ‘round and ‘round so fast I believe she
    Makes me whole, I never felt this much alive

    So divine, she’s pure, she’s beautiful
    And on days like this in the autumn winds
    I feel that all I am is about her, about her

    Spinning ‘round and ‘round so fast
    When she touches me and I see her smile
    She makes it all worthwhile
    Spinning ‘round and ‘round so fast I believe she
    Makes me whole, I never felt this much alive
    She makes it all worthwhile……… (4x)

    Spinning ‘round and ‘round so fast
    When she touches me and I see her smile
    She makes it all worthwhile
    Spinning ‘round and ‘round so fast I believe she
    Makes me whole, I never felt this much alive
    Much alive
    She makes me feel alive
