Not sure about love, but i do have some songs that pop in on infatuation. But I do know one song Ill want played in my wedding. For funs sake really, it would be du hast.

Quote:
Du
du hast
du hast mich
du hast mich gefragt
du hast mich gefragt, und ich hab nichts gesagt

Willst du bis der Tod euch scheidet
treu ihr sein für alle Tage

Nein

Willst du bis zum Tod, der scheide
sie lieben auch in schlechten Tagen

Nein Unofficial Translation ©2003 Jeremy Williams.

You
you have *
you have me
you have asked me
you have asked me and I have said nothing

Do you want, until death seperates you,
to be faithful to her for all days

No

Do you want, until death, which would seperate, **
to love her, even in bad days

No

* When Till is just saying "Du hast," it sounds as if he could either be saying "Du hast" (you have) or "Du hasst" (you hate). This is to give the song a double meaning, even though the official lyrics say "Du hast."

** There is another sort of double meaning here. If the line is read as "Tod der Scheide" it would be "until the death of the vagina" and not "until death, which would seperate" ("Tod, der scheide"). The whole song is a play on German wedding vows (Wollen Sie einander lieben und achten und die Treue halten bis dass der Tod euch scheidet? - Do you want to love and respect each other and to remain faithful, until death seperates you?). Instead of answering with "Ja," Till says "Nein," finally answering the question he said nothing to in the beginning.

Oooh Kiss from a rose is good too.


Kiss from a Rose from the nineties if you remember Batman Forever, haha :) The nineties was pretty good for love songs.

Two good bands that are underrated and good at writing love songs, I advise people to check them out.

Pretty much all the music I listen to is romantic in some fashion, though. I like romantic themed music quite a lot.

For the record yes, I can be kind of sappy and idealistic lol.

It's in German so here's the translation:

And tomorrow the sun will shine again
and on the way that I will go,
will she us, the happy ones, again unite
amidst this sun-breathing earth,
and to the beach, wide, wave-blue
will we still and slowly descend
silently we will look in each other's eyes
and upon us sinks the mute silence of happiness

And one of my favorites from Simon and Garfunkel:

Most songs are about love. I love Motown.

I'll throw this one out there:

At the moment...James Morrison, "I won't let you go". I like the video as well because I can relate to the girl. I often feel like that, and wish someone would say those words to me when I do.

It's not mine, but THIS song is dedicated to a few members who have people interested in them BUT KEEP TURNING THEM AWAY for the most minor of "defects"...
