Love songs?

Tara

What's your favorite phantom-type love song?
Top of my list would have to be, "Lover Come Over" - Jeff Buckley, "Both Hands" by Ani DiFranco, "This one goes out to the one I Love" REM.......



anyone else?

MaryJane

Well anything by the late great Jeff Buckley gets my vote. "Lover, You Should've Come Over" is definitely my favourite Jeff song. I reckon he doesn't get enough airplay.

Kali

neil young - such a woman
if its hip enough to be played on phantom that is.

MaryJane

Oh oh!!!

D'you know what's a really good song: "Woman In Chains" by Tears for Fears. Not a fan, but heard the song and thought it was great.
I suppose "Unintended" by Muse should get a mention, even though it's not their usual form.

MaryJane

Oh yeah!! And another one is "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode. Anyone else like that?

indie_chick

Emmet tinley...dunno the name of the song but it goes

"i heard the music your soul was making. And it hurts to lose you. Just before we made it"

Such an amazing song. I'll always associate with with 2 people. My first love and Uaneen Fitsimmons.

p-t saviour

Your Song by Elton John, its very sweet indeed (not sure if i've ever heard it on Phantom tho)... That REM song is really nice too, Wilt did a mean version of it once... but my personal favourite 3 are....

The Moldy Peaches - Anyone else but you.

Pearl Jam - Black.

The Frames - Your Face.


Seán.

oops forgot the brilliant looper with impossible things #2

clevenger

aggh! it's the prayerboat, i think, and as far as i know it's called 'hurts to lose you'. i love that song too, and it will always remind me of a certain someone too. unrequited love and all that. sniff.

for my vote, though, it would have to be cat power's cover of sea of love ... so so beautiful. not very phantomy, although i guess it depends on the dj (and most of the suggestions here are definately *not* phantomy)

knobbles

lyrically and musically beautiful:
BOWIE - absolute beginners
PUMPKINS - stand inside your love

hmm, what else would i put in my "love hour"?
allow me to run thru my mp3's....
yes, Enjoy The Silence
CHRIS ISAAC - wicked game
MBV-sometimes
ECHOBELLY - dark therapy
MAZZY STAR - faded into you
FIONA APPLE - sullen girl
3 COLOURS RED - beautiful day
PEARL JAM - black
BON JOVI - always

the 80's were great for the soppy stuff.....
BONNI TYLER - total eclipse of the heart
CHEAP TRICK - the flame
FOREIGNER - i wanna know what love is
JOHN WAITE - missing you
BRYAN FERRY - Lennon's "didn't mean to hurt you"
THOMPSON TWINS - hold me now
HEART - alone
DEF LEPPARD - hysteria

....some arguably dodgy songs there but there ain't
no denying their heart

Thomas from Presence

Muse- Unintended
Queen - Save Me
Led Zep - Lemon Song
Tom Jones (take your pick)
Serge Gainsborough - Je t'aime (Bridget Bardot version)

dccarm

The Pastels - Nothing to be Done

Jim Daniels

The Only Ones: The Whole of the Law

meglome

Therapy? - Me vs you ... maybe not

great song on the last Garbage CD called Drive you Home

Whipping Boy - Fly
New Model Army - These Words
Smashing Pumkins - Disarm
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Where the wild roses grow


lots of great (and bleak) songs by Depeche Mode

slash99

whipping boy - twinkle

2 questions for ya:

1) Have you *ever* heard the Yo La Tengo version? Also very byootiful.

2) Have you ever heard the Only Ones played on Phantom? (Except 'Another Girl..' which I'm sure they've played even though I've never heard it)

My fave Only Ones love song would be 'Out Their In The Night', written by Peter Perrett for his cat
Anotehr good love-song-for-a-cat is 'Wop-a-Din-Din' of the last Red House Painters album.

freakofnature

uh, meglome, 'disarm' is not about love, its about bad parenting as far as i can remember. well, i guess thats a kind of love.

my personal favourites are:

ava adore-pumpkins
dependence theme-larocca
the proffessor-damo rice


and the list would go on if i could be bothered to think.

indie_chick

REM at my most beautiful.....

SimonMaher

Good thread this actually.....good choices. I wouldnt actually mind doing a show of these "love songs" and others at some stage...would be fun.

Lolo, I played "Its the Truth" from the Only ones about three weeks ago on Phantom. Great tune too . Agreed though, must play some more. Ive only heard "The only ones - the album". Whats the other stuff like Even serpents shine etc like?

Personally, if I was to pick one I would probably go for Mr Cohens "Famous Blue Raincoat", or scarily enough the brilliant version that Jennifer Warnes did of it.

Pete Reed

If you want crude and/or kinky (and I know you do!!) , then hows about

"Tie me Kangaroo Down Sport" - Rolf Harris;)

There's different types of love, people................!

mine's have to be "this is love" by PJ Harvey

Add
The Frames "Red Chord"
The Prayer Boat "it hurts to loose you"

Karl Hungus

Anything by Nick Cave is good.

Smashing Pumpkins - Adore. The whole flubbin' album!

And loads of stuff by the Cure.

knobbles

love adore but i think there's more sorrow than love.
nevertheless, a master of the love song
...in the arms of sleep,luna, galapogos, beautiful,
by starlight, stand inside your love

indie_chick

Well I like U2, Love is Blindness and So Cruel aswell which as you can guess aren't exactly about love either...sort of twisted love thing.

TARE

Jeff Buckley - Lover, you should of come over.

Troi Amos - love song.

blur - Your so great.

Led Zeppelin - Thank you.

Elliot Smith - Say yes.

Archies - You are my candy girl

roxy

Monty Python's - 'Sit on My Face'. You've got to hear all the words. Truly Moving.

TheVoice

Um
cherry and set the ray to jerry by the pumpkins are good
1000 oceans by tori amos
Pain In My Heart by Otis Redding(mainly coz its on my cd player now)
Lauryn Hills version of Cant take my eyes off you(?) is good
Suzanne by weezer
the aforementioned If i was your girlfriend by Prince and At My Most Beauitful by Rem

Okay, so I stand corrected! I had never heard anyone on Phantom play them. Even Serpents Shine is a kind of Best Of..., it's a good starting point, but the albums themselves are better. The Only Ones Live is great too - incidentally, a lot fo the recordings for it were supplied by Gary Hill who runs Smile Records on Georges St., but he's not credited on it (which was a wee bit unfair).

Extremely underrated band, so many people love Another Girl Another Planet but haven't bothered to check the rest of their stuff out.

Tara

Prince songs! Good call. Purple Rain!

Then for Irish acts - have to say I almost shed a tear to Brando's "Say You Love me".

Other's to be mentioned: Police - "Every Breath You Take". Yes, it is overplayed, but still a great tune. No one has even mentioned the mass selection of Beatles songs (the list is endless).

Random and obscure love song - "Solace of You" - Living Colour (NY in the house)

I quite like the Yo La Tengo version but I LOVE the Only Ones version. I reckon his delivery is spot on. I only have it on vinyl though and haven't heard it in ages. Its probably on of my favourite songs ever!

My favourite Yo La Tengo cover vesion is probably Daniel Johnstons "Speeding Motorcycle" or "What Can I Say" written by some band I don't know.

My Favourite Red House Painters song is possibly Down Colourful Hill. I wish he'd sing a bit more clearly though.

Gar_ptc

yes,REM's at my most beautiful is my fave type of love song.


though *mahogany*by snow patrol is ...well i can relate to it
love you Bell

indie_chick

Beautiful Freak ...eels
And Youre so Great , Blur
Awwwww

Don't know how I forgot it before, but 'The Special One' by Ultra Vivid Scene. Phantom should play some Ultra Vivid Scene soon I think too.

Lolo

Goddammit yes! Even though I won't be in the country to hear it, I heartily endorse any playing of UVS over public airwaves.

While wandering through the design section Victoria & Albert Museum recently, I came across a display of the cover of Joy 1967-1990, complete with notes from Vaughn Oliver. It gave me a warm fuzzy feeling to see one of my favourite (and grossly overlooked by the world at large) albums on display. Sigh.

I have to stop myself form buying copies of UVS albums that I already have when I see them 2nd-hand - I feel sorry for them cause nobody wanted them. I


More great UVS love songs:

Thief's Love Song
Beauty #2
A Dream Of Love (not quite a love song, but captures that feeling of exhileration when you've just met someone you fancy like mad)
