    You're My Woman by Van Morrison

    And not a love song for lovers but between mother and child - Stars Above by the beautiful Maria Doyle Kennedy.

    Mushy Woman Alert! (I hope I don't spend all night on this thread again!)

    Someone mentioned Elvis ... I love Andrea Boccelli's version of "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You"
    Re more modern love songs, I agree that "A Thousand Years" is beautiful
    I'm also picking Labrynth's "Beneath Your Beautiful" as it resonates a lot with me.

    I need to get banned from this thread!

    Back in the day this used to top all the polls



    and a bit of trivia from wikipedia

    Once the musical backing had been completed Stewart recorded the lead vocal and Godley and Creme the backing vocals, but even though the song was finished Godley felt it was still lacking something. Stewart said, "Lol remembered he had said something into the grand piano mics when he was laying down the solos. He'd said 'Be quiet, big boys don't cry' — heaven knows why, but I soloed it and we all agreed that the idea sounded very interesting

    if we could just find the right voice to speak the words. Just at that point the door to the control room opened and our secretary Cathy [Redfern] looked in and whispered 'Eric, sorry to bother you. There's a telephone call for you.' Lol jumped up and said 'That's the voice, her voice is perfect!'."[3]

    The group agreed that Redfern was the ideal person, but Redfern was unconvinced and had to be coaxed into recording her vocal contribution, using the same whispered voice that she had used when entering the control room. These whispered lyrics would later serve as the inspiration for the name of the 1980s band

    An 80's classic coming up ... "The Power Of Love" by Jennifer Rush
    Also, just remembered that I used to love "Moon River" until ... I had to do bridesmaid first dance duties at my sister's wedding. Ruined it for me!

    Not doing this for all the posts but something felt cool about how this thread has 10 pages in 2 days .. (well barring the fact that the first post was 2014 and the second 2020 :))

    Apparently Stunning included Walls Brothers and this video seems recent so I guess Walls brothers again but maybe not the full Stunning
