Nach gestrigem Gespräch mit gfx-shaman eröffne ich mal diesen Thread!

Welche sind eurer Meinung nach die besten Lovesongs aller Zeiten und vor allen Dingen WARUM?* Jeder darf maximal drei Songs posten, damit ein eventuelles Ranking möglich wird! Textstellen dürfen gepostet werden. Also auf auf!

Da mir - wie ihr wisst - jegliche Art von emotionaler Flachwichserei zu wider ist, enthalte ich mich voerst der Stimme, werde aber versuchen, später nachzuziehen, nachdem ich eine ausführliche Pro-Kontra-Liste der in Frage kommenden Songs ausgewertet habe.


* als Begründung zählen nicht etwaige Momente mit diversen Personen, die einen beim Erinnern melancholisch werden lassen (z.B. Abschiedsdisko im Ferienlager oder so)! Wir wollen rationale Gründe

Also ich find erstmal Grundsätzlich muss man ein paar Genres der Musik ausklammern wenn es um Liebeslieder geht.

Für mich passen Liebe und harter Rock einfach nicht so zusammen genauso wie mit Trance, Techno ..... . Dann schon eher Slowrock, Pop Soul, Blues und Jazz.

Also ein geniales Lied über die Liebe. Zumindest nach meiner Interpretation ist:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duran Duran - Come Undone.

Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed, with a home tattoo,
Happy birthday to you was created for you

(can't ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can't I believe you're taking my heart
To pieces)

Oh, it'll take a little time,
might take a little crime
to come undone now

(PRECHORUS)
We'll try to stay blind
to the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry

(CHORUS)
Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone
(repeat)

(Verse 2)
Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before
Chill, is it something real
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers

(Can't ever keep from falling apart
At the seams
Can I believe you're taking my heart
To pieces)

Das Duett der Superlative.

As
by George Michael feat. Mary J. Blige

As around the sun the Earth knows she's revolving
And the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
Just as hate knows love's the cure
You can rest your mind assure
That I'll be loving you always

As now can't reveal the mystery of tomorrow
But in passing will grow older every day
Just as all is born is new
Do you know what I say is true
That I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more

Did you know that true love asks for nothing
Her acceptance is the way we pay
Did you know that life has given love a guarantee
To last through forever and another day

As today I know I'm living but tomorrow
Could make me the past
but that I mustn't fear
Now I know deep in my mind
The love of me I've dropped behind
And I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream
Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8x8x8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more

did you know that true love asks for nothing
her acceptance is the way we pay
did you know that life has given love a guarantee
to last through forever and another day

As around the sun the earth knows she's revolving
and the rosebuds know to bloom in early May
for now I know deep in my mind
the love of me I've left behind
and I'll be loving you always

Until the rainbow burns the stars out in the sky
Until the ocean covers every mountain high
Until the dolphin flies and parrots live at sea
Until we dream of life and life becomes a dream

Until the day is night and night becomes the day
Until the trees and seas just up and fly away
Until the day that 8X8X8 is 4
Until the day that is the day that are no more

911
by Wyclef Jean Feat. Mary J. Blige

[Wyclef]
Yo, what up, this Wyclef with Mary J.
I serenade the girls with my accoustic guitar
You know what I'm sayin'?
Yo, fellas havin' problems with the chicks?
I want you right now to turn the lights down low
Pull your girl up next to you
I want you to sing this to her

If death comes for me tonight, girl
I want you to know that I love you
And no matter how tough I wouldn't dare
Only to you I would reveal my tears
So tell the police I ain't home tonight
Messin' around with you is gonna get me life
But when I look into your eyes
You're worth that sacrafice
If this is the kind of love that my mom used to warn me about
Man, I'm in trouble
I'm in real big trouble
If this is the kind of love that the old folks used to warn me about
Man, I'm in trouble
I'm in real big trouble
I need y'all to do me a favor

Someone please call 911
Tell them I just been shot down
And the bullet's in my heart
And it's piercing through my soul
Feel my body gettin' cold
Somone please call 911
The alleged assalaint
Was Five Foot One
And she shot me through my soul
Feel my body gettin' cold

[Mary J. Blige]
So cold
Sometimes I feel like I'm a prisoner
I think I'm trapped here for a while
And every breath I fight to take
Is as hard as these four walls I wanna break
I told the cops you wasn't here tonight
Messin' around with me is gonna get you life
Oh yeah, yeah
But everytime I look into your eyes
Then it's worth the sacrifice

[Wyclef]
If this is the kind of love that your mom used to warn you about
Marry you're in trouble
You're in real big trouble
If this is the kind of love that the old folks used to warn me about
I'm in trouble
I'm in real big trouble
You got anything to say, girl?

[Mary J. Blige]
Someone please call 911
Tell them I just got shot down
And it's piercing through my soul
Feel my body getting cold

[Wyclef]
Someone please call 911
The alleged assalaint
Was Five Foot One
And she shot me through my soul
Feel my body getting cold

Wyclef and Mary J. Blige
I know you're feeling me, girl
I know you understand
