What's your favourite love song?
« on: 19 February, 2011, 04:24:15 pm »
I'm just listening to a Robert Palmer greatest hits compilation and thinking She Makes My Day has to be one of the best. And I really like Rod Stewart's You're In My Heart. But I think my favourite is George Michael's A Different Corner.

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Ewan MacColl.  There's some spine-tingling versions around.  And some teeth-grating ones too.
Getting there...

Steve Earle - Valentines Day



Hah!  I posted that recently too somewhere on Valentine's Day.

Steve Earle reckons that this one is the best love song he will ever write:

It's a hell of a love song when you know the several backstories.

Isn't Valentines Day the one he wrote for his then wife after he got out of jail and had no money no driving license and realised that he had forgotten that it was valentines day the next day and thus all he had to give was a song ?

Possibly not strictly a love song, but says something to me about how love should be...

There are several choices to be made but if I was to choose a song with lyrics to describe how I think/feel about mrs.jogler it would be a tie

If Not For You : Olivia Neutron Bomb Newton John
The Wind Beneath My Wings : Bette Middler
