Love Song Recommendations Please?

[Kelli in TN]

I want to load some more romantic music on my Zune. What do you like that is fairly current and very romantic? I would like to keep it all music that is no more than 2 or 3 years old.

[Mrs. Readsalot]

OK so James Blunt is not everyones cup of tea, but I like his music...there I said it. You can see the video and hear the song on You Tube it is beautiful. I also like some of the songs on the soundtrack for the movie Across the Universe. These are remixes of Beatles songs as song by the movie cast. They are wonderful My favorite is Something.

Of course that may be older than 2 years. I'm not very hip at keeping up with new music anymore.:tongue_smilie:

This is not two or three years old, but it is so beautiful I just had to post it. :) "I Wear Your Love" by Kathy Mattea.

The things I've collected bought or selected
The clutter that fills up my rooms
I can lock up and leave it never retrieve it
Leave nothing but my love for you
Let the storm winds blow I will not be cold

I wear your love thrown over my shoulders like a blanket of down
I wear your love like a bright suit of armor reflecting the sun
On the chilliest night though I travel light
It is always enough for I wear your love

You watched without knowing where I was going
Trusting the vision I'd found
For if dreams were a fire I had desire
That could burn this old house to the ground
So I walk quite free for surrounding me

I wear your love like a scarf that I borrowed that still holds your perfume
I wear your love pulled tight as I'm sleeping under a cold lover's moon
On the chilliest night though I travel light
It is always enough for I wear your love

Don't you know can't you see head to toe it is covering me
Like a stone the oceans's tide nothing can hurt me or turn me aside

For I wear your love thrown over my shoulders like a blanket of down
I wear your love like a badge of devotion of love and beyond
On the chilliest night though I travel light
It is always enough for I wear your love
It is always enough for I wear your love

Oh, Josh Turner anything would be good:drool: I love "Would You Go With Me". "Firecracker" is a fun song, but I don't think it's what you're looking for.

River Flows In You by Yiruma

(If you like Piano!)

[Tutor]

This is not two or three years old, but it is so beautiful I just had to post it. :) "I Wear Your Love" by Kathy Mattea.

That is a great song! Another wonderfully romantic song by Mattea is Where Have You Been?

I also don't stay "up to date" on music, so some of these are older than three years, but some other romantic songs I like are:

John Mayer's Your Body is a Wonderland and Come Back to Bed
Harry Connick, Jr.'s renditions of Our Love is Here to Stay and It Had To Be You
Feist's Mushaboom
Iron & Wine's Naked As We Came & Love and Some Verses
Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah (not traditionally romantic, but dh and I think it's romantic)
Ladysmith Black Mambazo's Hello My Baby
Newsboys' Something Beautiful
Sixpence None the Richer's Kiss Me
Faith Hill's This Kiss
Serene & Pearl's My Heart is Full

Enjoy listening to your music. I love making music mixes.

Here are a few that I like, I have eclectic tastes (and strangely, a disproportionate number of love songs) so I've tried to mix it up a little and not give too many:

All I Want Is You by U2

Beside You by Van Morrison

Big Love by Lindsey Buckingham

He Came to Meet Me by Hem

The Guy That Says Goodbye to You by Griffin House

You've Got a Friend by James Taylor

The Way That I Am by Ingrid Michaelson

[Pam "SFSOM" in TN]

These are too old to fit your parameters, but they are obscure and beautiful. (I'm sorry that I'm not following the rules, but I don't keep up with new music, sadly.)

The Luckiest by Ben Folds

The Voyage by Christie Moore

THE VOYAGE:
I am a sailor & you're my first mate
We signed on together, we coupled our fate.
We hauled up our anchor determined not to fail
For the hearts treasure together set sail.

With no maps to guide us we steered our own course
Rode out the storms when the winds were gale force
Sat out the doldrums in patience and hope
Working together we learned how to cope.

Chorus:
Life is an ocean, and love is a boat
In troubled waters it keeps us afloat.
When we started the voyage there was just me and you
Now gathered round us we have our own crew.

Together we're in this relationship
We've built it with care to last the whole trip
Our true destination's not marked on any chart
We're navigating for the shores of the heart.

Chorus: Chorus:

"I Could Not Ask For More" by Edwin McCain always brings tears to my eyes, although it may be older than what you're after.

[Jenny in Atl]

I want to load some more romantic music on my Zune. What do you like that is fairly current and very romantic? I would like to keep it all music that is no more than 2 or 3 years old.

What kind of romantic music do you like?
Vocal vs. Instrumental?
Nora Jones like or Tony Bennett?
:bigear:

[Beth in Central TX]

I highly recommend Steven Curtis Chapman's CD, All About Love. My favorite song is I Will Be Here.

Just to shake things up a bit, here is a lovely and strange song that I found romantic back in the day. ;)

Song to the Siren by This Mortal Coil

[Kate CA]

Where Have You Been?



Oh yes, I love that one too. I cry *every* time I hear it. :)

Song to the Siren by This Mortal Coil
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFAHVIyhtb0

Yep! Brings me back. :)

Loved This Mortal Coil and Cocteau Twins. I found just about all of their music quite romantic. And lol, you have not heard "Frosty the Snowman" until you've heard Liz Fraser sing it. ;)

Check out Evangeline (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRsaaCAwTnQ&feature=related)

It probably doesn't qualify as a love song and definitely not as a recent song, but... ah- so pretty.

...I can't help it, check out Pandora (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAckMJd8zlA&feature=related) too.

[Kelli in TN]

I listened to a sample of every song that was not familiar to me!

I did not keep it recent, my choices are all over the place!

Here is what I've got in the romance playlist;

100 Years-Five for Fighting
Truly Madly Deeply-Savage Garden
When You're Gone-Avril Lavigne
I Could Not Ask for More-Edwin McCain
Heaven Is a Place on Earth-Belinda Carlisle
A Groovy Kind of Love-Phil Collins
The Luckiest-Ben Folds
Something Beautiful-Newsboys
True Colors-Phil Collins

I can buy more Zune points! Now that you see my musical likes, you are welcome to make more recommendations!!

Brick by Ben Folds Five

I LOVE the chorus to this song:

She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
Off the coast and I'm headed nowhere
She's a brick and I'm drowning slowly
