So....you know when you start to really like someone and you find yourself listening to something like Parachutes instead of something like Go or Rearviewmirror? Well....I'm wondering if you guys can help me with some non-pj song suggestions to help get me through this silly stuff. Maybe I can find enough to make a not-so-cheesy love song mix cd or something.

And just in case anyone else is interested I'll contribute too. Here's on from The Moldy Peaches called Anyone Else But You.

Thanks everyone.

    "I write a letter to a friend of mine
    I tell him how much I used to love watch him smile
    See I haven't seen him smile in a little while
    Haven't seen him smile in a little while
    But, I know you're laughing from the inside out."
    Blind Melon - Mouthfull of cavities

    Together in the darkness, alone in the light.

    Totally agree with these two. Also "Still Remains" by STP is a great love song.

    "Stir it Up" by Bob Marley...

    I know there´s a beautiful story beside this song, a love story...I´ll try to find it out.

    Taken from the "Songs of Freedom" box set booklet:

    "This love song, the greatest Bob´s seduction songs, was written for Rita, after Bob´s eight month abscence from Jamaica in 1966, staying with his mother in Wilmington, Delaware; he went to the States to work and raise money to start his label; Bob had married Rita the day before he left Kingston."

    most beautiful love song ever written. I first heard it when I really liked a girl called chloe. it was such a coincidence :) no doubt made the impact greater :D
