NICK CAVE-- The Ship Song..

JG1 · 09-09-2008 01:41PM

Baby, I love you - Ronettes/Ramones (cover)

God only knows - The Beach Boys

Into my arms - Nick Cave

I am thinking of compliing some background 'lurve' music while people are eating. Looking more at indie/alternative/rock rather than Celine et al.

Keep the suggestions coming!

Tom Baxter Better is very popular at the moment

We're going for Andy Williams 'Moon river', I just love that song!

When I was lil, I loved the song 'I am a man that will fight for your honour' that was in the film Karate kid and always thought that'd be my wedding song.
Thankfully I've grown out of that idea

:o:D

The Nick Cave one is particularly good if one person in the couple is into God, and one isn't.

Otherwise on the request for decent lurrve or sloppy songs for background music, off the top of me head:

Paul Weller : "You do something to me"
Super Furry Animals: "Fire in my heart"
Elbow : "One day like this"
Scott Matthews : "Elusive"
Nick Drake : "Northern Sky"
Blur : "Tender"
The Troggs : "With a girl like you"
The Flaming Lips : "Do you realise"
Spiritualised : "Stay with me"

Shane wrote the song about his girlfriend, who is now his fiancee... the lyrics "sometimes i wake up in the morning, the ginger lady by my bed" thats his fiancee... she has ginger hair, so there's no hidden meaning... pretty straight forward... and an absolutely crackin song... i love it... damo's version too

Umm..... Shane McGowan's fiancee is Victoria Mary Clarke (write for the Sunday Indo) has black black hair. I've heard the ginger lady referred to as "whiskey" or "heroin". The song was written for her though
It is a crackin tune though, not sure which version I prefer...

Yeah, would go with the booze/drug interpretation myself. He's singing about a perfect moment that's past. Tis more of an end of relationship song-absolutely love it though. However, most people don't think about lyrics that closely and probably won't notice.

Thinking about Past the Point of Rescue meself
