Best Love Songs (and "your" songs)

[nakia]

Depends on why I'm listening to it. If I'm listening to it because I am angry, I'll be less angry. If I listen to it while I'm not angry, I'm reminded of when I was angry... and get angry.

So, it's music by angry women. Not music exclusively for angry women.

These are the times that try men's heterosexuality.

It would be two songs:

Fiona Apple's "Slow Like Honey":

You moved like honey in my dream last night
Yeah, some old fires were burning
You came near to me and you endeared to me
But you couldn’t quite discern me

Does that scare you? I’ll let you run away
But your heart will not oblige you
You’ll remember me like a melody
Yeah, I’ll haunt the world inside you

And my big secret - gonna win you over
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

I’ll let you see me, I’ll covet your regard
I’ll invade your demeanor
And you’ll yield to me like a scent in the breeze
And you’ll wonder what it is about me

It’s my big secret - keeping you coming
Slow like honey, heavy with mood

Though dreams can be deceiving
Like faces are to hearts
They serve for sweet relieving
When fantasy and reality lie too far apart

So I stretch myself across, like a bridge
And I pull you to the edge
And stand there waiting
Trying to attain
The end to satisfy the story
Shall I release you?
Must I release you?
As I rise to meet my glory

But my big secret
Gonna hover over your life
Gonna keep you reaching
When I’m gone like yesterday
When I’m high like heaven
When I’m strong like music
’cuz I’m slow like honey, and
Heavy with mood


And Frank Black & the Catholic's "Bullet"
(This one is a bit hard to explain and involves a dancing lion and Cthulhu...
Um, maybe I'll leave it at that. )

Excuse me now I’ve got a call
I’ll take this call from Valhalla
Please tell my friends from outer space
You are my son you’ll take my place
And if the revolution comes
I’ve got some good friends there

Take my place after all you are my son
You take the moon I’ll take the sun
And by the way if the revolution comes
Please take my rifles and take my guns
A single bullet loaded in each one

And if you don’t like my melody
I’ll sing it in a major key
I’ll sing it very happily
And if
Everybody is
All aboard
Let’s take it back
To that minor chord

You are my son you’ll take my place
Be still my friends from outer space
I’ll take this call from Valhalla
Excuse me now I got a call

I’ve got some good friends there
Revolution comes
A single bullet loaded in each one
Please take my rifles and take my guns
And by the way
If the revolution comes
Take my rifles
Take my guns
You take my place because you are my son

Excuse me now I’ll take the sun
I’ll take my place in Valhalla
And if the revolution comes
Please take my guns

Slow Like Honey is #1 on my list of "Sexiest Songs Ever".

 

[Cthulhu's Librarian]

If you're married - what was your first dance?

Our first dance was "Crazy Love" by Van Morrison.
I was told by many, many people that our reception was one of the best they had ever been to. We had a great DJ, and we made sure that he not only had our list of songs to play, but he had a list of songs that he was not to play under any circumstances (NO electric slide or macarana at my wedding, thank you very much). The wedding was outside under a pavillion at Ashlawn Highland (home of president James Monroe), and it was raining so everyone was right next to the dance floor and it was packed with people most of the night. I think the song of the night was "Are you Gonna Be My Girl" by Jet, which seemed to get most everyone on a dancing high! And I wore my green Converse at the reception, which could be responsible for how cool the night was.

I don't know that we have one special song, but our first kiss was during "Come Monday" at a Jimmy Buffet concert.

You've always got very funky shoes. Such happy colors!

((I work pink and white adidas for the whole day )).

That's just sad, I mean priorities peiople. You can get married many times but the Razor backs aren't going to another final four any time soon.......

Hence why Crothian's still single, folks.

He's a Razorbacks fan!

Another favorite I heard on the way home.

She's Always a Woman - Billy Joel

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child
But she’s always a woman to me

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she’ll never believe you
And she’ll take what you give her, as long as it’s free
She steals like a thief
But she’s always a woman to me

Chorus
Oh-she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She’s ahead of her time
Oh-and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

And she’ll promise you more
Than the garden of eden
Then she’ll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you’re bleedin’
But she’ll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she’s always a woman to me

Chorus

She is frequently kind
And she’s suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She’s nobody’s fool
But she can’t be convicted
She’s earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she’s always a woman to me

Seen Willy Wonka a lot, have you?

I haven't seen Willy Wonka yet. Unless you count the clones running around Dragoncon...
