My Favourite Love Song

I'm always a little dubious about saying that something- especially music- is my favourite, since typically it changes over time and with mood, but I can honestly say that The Downtown Lights by the Blue Nile is my favourite love song. (It was mentioned in the music that stirs... thread.)

 

It's not particularly a happy love song, but it's an honest one and all the better for it, I feel. I was going to link to the video on youtube but that's the single version which, I think, omits the best bit, at the end, which begins: 'The neons & the cigarettes...'

 

So to rectify this you can get it from here instead:

Both Annie Lennox and Rod Stewart have covered this song. I've heard neither, but if you think you may have heard it before, then that might be why.

 

Of course, it goes without saying that the song isn't really for everyone & those raised on/narrowly fond of a specific few genres may find that it falls outside of their tastes.

Do we not have a Lavender Forum for threads like this?

 

Well, it was more about sharing one of my favourite songs than the actual subject matter.

By the way is an aerosmith an actual job title at Nestle?

Beach Boys - God Only Knows

 

Close the thread

 

I agree whole heartedly.

 

me too

 

my mate got married quite recently in Exeter College Chapel in Oxford and we were all sing that song during the service. Not a dry eye in the house ( although that was probably me attempting the harmonies too loudly!)
