Most Romantic Songs, EVER!

[McKenna]

I was thinking of putting together a CD of the Most Romantic Songs, Ever.

I need some ideas of what songs to include. I want the kind of songs that remind you of passionate kisses. The kind that make you want to jump your lover's bones on the spot. The kind that twist at your innards and .... well, you get the idea.

So far I've come up with two I consider to be very romantic:



1. Wicked Game - by Chris Isaak

2. Nights in White Satin - by the Moody Blues



Please help me add to the list.

I love "Music of the Night" (Streisand/Crawford version) from one of her Broadway albums.

Has everyone forgotten the song that single handedly increased pregnancy rates in 1994?

Has to be what I call the all time most romantic song ever!

You have to go back to the '30's through '50's for really romantic songs. ("Unchained Melody" was written in the 50's. The Righteous Brothers' version was a cover.)

"My One and Only Love" - the original one, the one recorded by Frank Sinatra - would get my vote, but only a few die-hard musicians and torch-song singers still know it.

That kind of drop-dead pure romance doesn't exist anymore. (Fucking isn't the same as romance.)

 

[minsue]

I definitely have to toss in my vote for Unchained Melody and Wonderful Tonight. There are too many for me to choose, but one that immediately comes to mind is The Cure's Lovesong.

 

[McKenna]

Hmmm.... I may need to make 2 CD's!

I found a couple of versions of "My One and Only Love" Doc. One from Ella Fitzgerald, and the other from Louis Armstrong. Still looking for the Sinatra version...

Imp, you're not thinking of "They Way You Look Tonight" are you?

I love the Ella Fitzgerald version. But you must hear old blue eyes.

Come Away With Me - Nora Jones

She's Got A Way - Billy Joel

Faithfully - Journey

Check, check, double check.

I like Nora Jones, too, CD.

I feel like the Carpenters.

My brother loves their songs.
