The Beatles songs, "Julia," and "In My Life," are two of my favorite love songs because of their wisdom and sweetness, which I feel are captured in the lyrics and melodies. I especially like "Julia," which John Lennon apparently wrote for his mother, because this song tries to show that love, so vast and yet personal, cannot be contained in the words themselves. "Julia" gives me shivers and causes an emotional response every time I hear it.

Jackhammer, since your thread is in the pop section I didn't actually give my favourite love song in my previous post, but here it is: "Annie's Song," by John Denver. I love the simplicity of the song and the beauty of the poetry he uses...the many similes comparing his feelings of love to the feelings he has when in nature. Of course, he and Annie eventually got divorced...(sigh)...but it sounds like they were happy while their relationship lasted.

If You Could Touch Her At All - Willie Nelson
09 If You Could Touch Her At All.m4a Funny a woman can come on so wild and free Yet insist I don't watch her undress or watch her watch me And stand by my bed and shiver as if she were cold Just to lie down beside me and touch me as if I were gold One night of love can't make up for six nights alone But I'd rather have one than none Lord cause I'm flesh and bone And sometimes it seems that she ain't worth the trouble at all But she could be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all Right or wrong a woman can own any man She can take him inside her and hold his soul in her hand Then leave him as weak and weary as a newborn child Fighting to get his first breath and open his eyes One night of love can't make up for six nights alone But I'd rather have one than none Lord cause I'm flesh and bone And sometimes it seems that she ain't worth the trouble at all But she could be worth the world if somehow you can touch her at all This song gives me chills. Marry me Willie! |
