    Ha-ash, Prince Royce - Cien Años

    ¿Quién puede entender esto sin un traductor? No sé de qué están cantando, ¡pero es una canción pop divertida! Intenté usar la aplicación duolingo para aprender español por un tiempo, pero perdí el interés bastante rápido. Todos hablan inglés allí de todos modos.

    Yay, 16th does me fine. This modern pop cheesiness from Mexico! I first heard it while sitting in a hotel lobby in Bolivia and only understood the odd bit but it made me smile (my spanish is still a WiP) ;)

    I figure my memories of travel probably sway my love of this song too! :D

    Amazing 60's pop song that still sounds as good today. The wall of sound will not be broken :D

    Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around



    Have I listened to this artist before? Yes
    Have I listened to this song before? Yes

    This was absolutely massive back in 1994. I remember it being played on the radio constantly for months. It wasn't really for me back then and that's not a slight on the song; I was just more interested in listening to Whigfield and 2 Unlimited on repeat. Now that I'm older do I appreciate it more? yes, it's a really nice power ballad. The strings and vocals are both great.

    This song is as cool as 500 cucumbers in a big fridge. The song gets progressively darker as it goes on. The last three minutes are like a descent into hell, even the guitar sounds evil.

    So what you are saying is that fleeting thought I had to enter Haddaway - What is Love? In round one might have actually scored me more points ;):D

    All hail our Memelord! Never gonna give you up is a great song, Rick Rolls have no effect on me! :D This is another fun 80's pop song. The synth is great. The lyrics are super cheesy. It's actually very catchy, it's growing on me!

    Taylor Swift - Love Story



    Have I listened to this artist before? Yes
    Have I listened to this song before? No

    This is one of Taylor's earlier songs as a country artist. According to the album description this song was once the number one selling country song of all time! Surprised I haven't heard it before. It's a great country pop song. Not a fan of the Romeo and Juliet lyrics but other that I can't argue much. The bridge at 2:30 is brilliant.

    She's just released a re-recorded version of this song. She's re-recording all her earlier albums because she's not happy with who holds the rights to them.

    I didn't have to.... think twice.... before deciding this is a fantastic song :pac: Celine has some pair of lungs on her, belting out those notes like a...Canadian Goose? Another brilliant power ballad for this round.

    Pleased to have not finished last!

    Absolutely love this song. The outro is my favourite outro of all time. I don't really think of it as evil or dark, just evocative of being mad in the head over someone. I love how the vortex of sound conjures up that feeling. Ah, the way the white noise just builds and builds...and then - bang! - just cuts off abruptly...

    I prefer the Wet Wet Wet version to this one. It just sounds a bit flat in comparison after listening to the cover version. The singer is no Marti Pellow.

    Look, it takes all sorts of people to make the world go around and if this is what comes to mind when you think of love songs then that's ok. The words lover and kiss are in there at least?

    ShaneU, smiling politely.

    Now THIS is a song for Valentine's Night...if you catch my drift ;) It's a very chill love song. I was kind of hoping for the heavier guitar parts to let loose and play over the chorus but it cuts off just before :-/


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,642 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    I was mesmerised by that Sade video when I was a kid. Big nostalgia feels tonight. Great choice

    This song has a very cold and dark feel to it. Lots of echo and reverb. Not exactly what I look for in a love song.

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,642 ✭✭✭SineadSpears


    Ah come on its a great love song/video. Great story for the grandkids :pac:

    Grandad kidnapped me, then fell in love with me, came to his senses, killed the other dude, & we ran off to live happily ever after.

    'I found love where it wasn't supposed to be. Right in front me'.

    :D


    I actually do think the song sounds beautiful if you overlook the disturbing video

    Christina Perri is a fantastic choice

    What's better than a love song? A country love song! And this is a country love song with piano so it's pretty much cheating the shane-o-meter here. Great karaoke song, it's hard not to sing along with the chorus.

    To quote the Black Eyed Peas...Where is the love? It's an industrial song that reminds me more of stepping outside in this horrible weather than a romantic night by the fire.

    Tim Buckley - Song To The Siren

    Beautiful song. Beautiful lyrics that ultimately foreshadowed his son's death. Very hard not to get emotional watching this.
