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?

Although in hindsight ‘straight to you’ by nick cave would have been an amazing first dance

Wasn't he, Clawdy! I saw him with the Walker Brothers as the support act to Roy Orbison, but they stole the show.
He hasn't aged well though...

Somthing about the way you look (elton john version) strange choice i know but i love it

...compared to how he used to look...

Scott was very very handsome and with a great set of pipes! Scott 4 is amazing

You’re still the one by Shania Twain. A perfect celebration of long term love.

So many on here chime with me. Our first dance at our wedding was o I can't Help Falling In Love With You, by Elvis. I love the Shania Twain song - Still the One and I also get very emotional at the rawness of Dolly Parton singing 'I will always love you '.

There is a light that never goes out, The Smiths

Lay your head - Maverick Sabre

Listen to it if you've never heard it

OP - love that Chet Baker song!

These songs too:-

Let’s Make it Last -
Like Rock & Roll -
Such a Simple Thing - by Ray LaMontagne (the lyrics... “my heart is like paper, yours is like a flame” 😢)

The Animals Were Gone -
Delicate -
The Blowers Daughter -
I Don’t Want to Change You - Damien Rice

Grow Old With Me - Tom Odell

From Both Sides Now - Joni Mitchell

Your Dress by John Foxx.

I thought Scott would have aged really well! He certainly hasn't.

Good call for Your Dress - such a beautiful song
Witchita Linesman - Glen Campbell
The Ship Song - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds
Automatically Sunshine - The Supremes
Running Up That Hill - Kate Bush
Nite flights - The Walker Brothers (Scott Walker singing 'Be my love, we will be Gods on nite flights' swoon).
Be My Wife - David Bowie
God Only Knows - The Beach Boys

Angie by the Rolling stones (though possibly about Keith Richard's heroin addiction). Still a great song.

Also love A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square. "And as you turned and smiled at me....." Something about those older love songs!

I close my eyes and count to ten
Dusty

I know nobody probably wanted this but I've made it anyway so may as well share it just in case. Here is a spotify playlist with almost every song from this thread on. It's missing about 10 or so because I just couldn't find them. I'm about 1/3 of the way through listening to it right now and there's been some tears.

That's amazing!!!
I'm due a couple of hours to have a sit down soon so will give it a listen then x

That list is wonderful, thanks hormonallyspeaking

@hormonallyspeaking, what a treat, thank you. I will be icing my Christmas cake listening to it.

Hormonally. - thankmyou. Planning to wrap presents tonight, and think I may be listening to you playlist, rather than Christmas songs.

Hormonally thank you! I've just listened to a Paul Simon song I'd never heard before and Angie by the Stones, which I hadn't heard in years, then Beeswing which used to be DH's favourite love song. Wouldn't have listened to any of them if you hadn't made the list.

I've just remembered DS wore a leopard onesie to school at that age when it was a mufti day. Got a few comments and friendly teasing but he didn't give a monkeys what people thought.

Enjoy the silence - depeche mode

Only you - yazoo

Don’t give up - Kate bush and Pete Gabriel (it’s about other things too obvs, but her love for him shines thru)

In my life, and the long and winding road - Beatles

Ooh lovely list!
