Crash

Sorry, you can kick the crap out of me for starting such a sappy thread at a later date.

So, whats your favourite most romantic song/s?

Mine are:

Colourblind By Counting Crows

Romeo & Juliet By Dire Straits

In My life By The beatles (also known as Strawberry Fields)

imp

My mind's drawing a blank at the moment so for now I'm going to nominate:

Radiohead - True Love Waits
Radiohead - Nobody Does it Better
Righteous Brothers - Unchained Melody
and um... ooh
David Gray - This Year's Love

I love all them. so nih.

Christine

Do breakup songs count as romantic? In that case:
Still In Love With You by Thin Lizzy
No Distance Left to Run by Blur

Sorry, I don't get the whole romance thing

Man U babe

Nirvana-Where Did You Sleep Last Night
Def Leppard-When Love And Hate Collide
Bon Jovi-Bed of Roses

and more where that came from!

Zaphod B

Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits (though its really more ironic than intentionally romantic)

And pretty much anything by Marvin Gaye.

Zaphod B

:eek: forgot Nightswimming by REM... well its more 'moving' than 'romantic' but blah

Also probably the Fairytale of New York, just because 2 partners calling each other fagg0t and s!ut and gettin back together... thats true romance also any relationship with Shane MacGowan would have to be romantic cuz it sure ain't based on looks

Ummm, Sven? I have to disagree with quite a few of those titles, although primary on the list would be:

Radiohead - Exit Music For A Film

What planet are you on? In a list of depressing songs that would be right at the top of my list, but romantic...?

I should probably point out that most of my romances are either failed or never happened. So I've become quite cynical and bitter and depressed about the whole thing. Possibly because as a romantic i tend to take things more seriously in that regard...

Oh and Exit Music... "We hope that you choke that you choke"... I'm sure I've had that thought at me on occasion right? Usually by women I'm hitting on.

And it does have a somewhat romantic overtone too... the two escaping... love that's not agreed with by the father... alone together with nowhere to go... making it on their own and failing (there's such a chill such a chill). Also the whole thing of trying to keep her (i'm guessing) hanging on to the relationship fading into bitterness...

My life...

Asuka

Oh dear.

This is a valid comment.

Lover You should Have Come Over - Jeff Buckley
Everybody Here Wants You - Jeff Buckley
Headlong - Frames
Let's Stay Together - Al Green
Medellia of The Grey Skies - Smashing Pumpkins
Landslide - Smashing Pumpkins version.

Nothing Compares 2 You - Sinead O'Connor
Killing Me Softly - Fugees.
Happy Together - The Turtles.
Waterloo Sunset - The version Ray Davies did with Damon Albarn on the White Room years ago.
God Only Knows - Beach Boys

They all break my heart everytime i hear any of them...

I really couldn't pick one from the first lot, they're all equally beautiful to me.

Rufus T Firefly

We Got Tonight - Bob Seger
Love Will Tear Us Apart - Joy Division
Lets Get It On - Marvin Gaye
Still - The Commodores
Stay With Me Till Dawn - Judie Tzuke
Crazy- Patsy Cline
It Must Be Love - Madness
All I Want Is You - U2
Without You - Harry Nilsson
Loving You - Minnie Ripperton

At the risk of upsetting the original poster, 'In My Life' and 'Strawberry Fields Forever' are two completely different songs. 'In My Life' is an album track from Rubber Soul - and very good it is too - and 'Strawberry Fields Forever' was originally released as double A-sided single (coupled with 'Penny Lane') in late 66/early 67.

There you go. I'm not only slushy, but pedantic and boring into the bargain.
