The most beautiful love song ever....

[Clawdy]

For me, it has to be this, especially Chet Baker's version from the 1940s :
"I get along without you very well,
Of course I do,
Except to hear your name,

Or someone 's laugh that is the same....."
And the last lines:
"Except perhaps in Spring,
But I should never think of Spring,
For that would surely break my heart in two..."
It gets me every time! What song do you find beautiful?

Cheers hormonally

Thanks again for making this playlist (and all the mn-netters for excellent song choices). I’ve been listening to the list, and have really enjoyed it.

Thieves Like Us by New Order.

Ooh nice to see the wondrous John Foxx and Scott Walker getting mentions!

thanks for the playlist hormonally, just listening to it now. Some old favourites, some new to me, it's a real pleasure.

Lovely that it's such a diverse selection.

Showing my age, but the theme song from Love Story.

Proclaimers - Life with you

Teo Torriate and You Take My Breath Away - both Queen.

'Oh holy night' (does divine love count?) With tune 'Cantique de Noelle' by Adolphe Adam.

I See The Light (or something like that) from Tangled

I'm keeping it updated. Got some corkers in there!

For the Good Times - Kris Kristofferson

Elivis Costello SHE

It's just beautiful

Sweet Creature- Harry Styles

What a great thread. My favourite type of MN thread.

I agree Nick Cave wins in the all-time love song league, and "Into my Arms" in particular.

I'll add "Violently" by Natalie Pass.

And "Great Expectations" by Elbow.

And 3 by My Brightest Diamond, who should be much, much better known than she is: "Another Chance"; "I have never loved someone" (the most moving song you'll ever hear about a parent's love for their child) and "Escape Routes".

Scarborough Fair (Canticle) by Simon and Garfunkel.

Thunder Road - Springsteen
Listening to it now on the Broadway show and it's real hairs on the back of your neck stuff.

Close To You-The Carpenters. Karen Carpenter was a severely underrated vocalist. her voice on this song is peerless.

This Guy's In Love With You-Faith No More. Mike Patton is the best male vocalist ever, or at least the most versatile. And yes, I know it's a cover of a Bacharach song, but Patton's voice...

Real Love by John Lennon/The Beatles

I like Howard's song to Bernadette in The Big Bang when they have their first date anniversary and she's in hospital. Not "beautiful" as such but really clever and lovely. Can't do links at the mo but it's worth watching on YouTube.

Your Song, but the Moulin Rouge version.

Oh so many to choose from! Just a few off the top of my head:
Heaven Can Wait - Meatloaf (Gorgeous lyrics and piano)
My Love, My Life - ABBA (almost as heartbreaking as Slipping Through My Fingers!)
Kissing A Fool - George Michael (all the more astonishing when you consider how young he was when he wrote it)
Groovy Kind of Love - Phil Collins (this one's personal, DH sang it for me with his band at our wedding)

Longer by Dan Fogelberg. So beautiful.
