Day 26: A song that makes you want to fall in love

Even though I am in the same boat as @UnquietDreams ... I will recall a time in my youth when I was still enamored with the idea of the Disney fairytale that sucks you in and makes you believe in "true love."

This version is the one I remember most. I have heard the Doris Day, Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole versions and love them as well. But, I love Celine. Always have.

Sleeples in Seattle was inspired by one of my favorite Cary Grant movies, An Affair to Remember. I can't watch either one without thinking of my Nana, who loved romantic films. This song was in the soundtrack.

When I Fall in Love - Celine Dion & Clive Griffin

I don't know about falling in love, but it does make me want to pop up a bowl of popcorn and curl up with you to watch An Affair to Remember.

Day 26- A song that makes you want to fall in love

The anticipation of that first kiss...
Will it lead to love?

It's delicious

Kiss Me - Sixpence None The Richer

Day 26: A song that makes you want to fall in love

Possibly the greatest love song ever written.. The occasional spoken-word, Knopfler's steel-strung acoustic riff on his iconic National O-guitar, the lyrics taking you through a story of puppy love and sex, to disenchantment and heart-ache.

Poetry.

You and me, babe, how about it?

Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet

Side one of Making Movies is arguably one of the greatest single sides of the Album era. All together my favorite Dire Straits album.

Yeah this is a schmoopy song for sure. Oh the 90’s.

My Moon My Man - Feist

I hadn't looked at the prompt yet and woke up with this song in my head. Any song by Feist calms me down.

Air - La femme d'argent

I wouldn't have that electronic music could sound so warm and organic. This is music to watch the world go by. And girls.

A song that calms… SRV wrote it for his girlfriend Lenny

I don't listen to a great deal of folk but something about this particular track stuck with me

Day 27: A song that calms you down

I suppose this might not be everyone's choice of a 'calming' band, but I feel like that is one of many colours in their palette.
There is a great deal of wisdom in this song, and some good counsel that my overactive mind often struggles to remember.

"Overthinking, overanalysing, separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition, leaving opportunities behind...
Feed my will to feel this moment
Urging me to cross the line
Reaching out to embrace the random
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come"

Tool - Lateralus

: A song that makes you want to fall in love

I don't know about falling in love but this is just ridiculously beautiful. The song, the performances, their history and love and respect for each other.

He wrote some kick ass songs!!

This song has the soft tones and wonderful harmonies that always make me feel better, and take me back to a time when the world was messed up, but not this messed up.

I ain't got no worries 'cause I ain't in no hurries...

The Doobie Brothers - Black Water

Song that calms me down. Sigh.

They aren't my cuppa, but I have known a remarkably large number of people who find Tool, even at their loudest, calming. I love that.

Penguin Cafe Orchestra - air a danser
The Penguins always sooth me (although the only time i ever wanted to stage dive was to them). This always reminds me of Spring, the first warm air on the skin, the feeling of joy that brings.

"(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" - Otis Redding

 

[UnquietDreams]

Day 27: A song that calms you down
This is from Robert Plant's second solo album, The Principle of Moments. It is a fantastic album, probably his best post-Zeppelin work until he started recording with Alison Krauss. This is a wistful, hopeful song, and it rings for me and calms me.

Dance by me close, tell 'em all to go
One's for the money, but I'm through with the show
Move with me gently, oh so slow
Hold me and maybe I'll never let go
Never let go...

"Thru' with the Two-Step," Robert Plant

Stay till the sun comes, and don't go away
Don't go away...
