Hey guys, this thread actually has a back story which is actually that I am buying my girlfriend an ipod and going to load it up with love songs before I give it to her (her last ipod died and she can't get a new one). But figured we all could benefit from this information soooooo what is your favorite love song(s) and why?

I really like "Out of My League" by Stephen Speaks, its a really nice song, slow , and has really good lyrics.

some of my favorites off the top of my head...

she makes me by queen
god only knows by the beach boys
since i've been loving you by led zeppelin
chasing cars by snow patrol
nothing compares 2 u, the sinead o'conner cover
she is by tim buckley
in the yard behind the church by the eels
everything i've got in my pocket by minnie driver
my baby just cares for me by nina simone
shatter by liz phair (a dysfunctional love song for sure)

and if you want to go a little more extreme - to bring you my love by pj harvey brings creepy codependence to a whole new level ;)

There are more than I can name here;

The real question though is, is PBG4 about to commit piracy or copyright infringement by giving away copyrighted music (which he or his GF may or may not own) with said iPod and does his comment constitute a violation of M-F rules regarding said transactions?

;)

I did the same thing for my girlfriend for christmas 07. I bought her a new iPod and sent it to colorware and had it colored, and then I put this song on it.

Kid Theodore : I'm a moth http://www.kidtheodore.com/ Song number 4 on the website. Give it a listen ;)

She pretty much melted, for real, the look on her face was priceless.

My problem is that the love songs I like are the ones about love that's failed. You probably don't want that. ;D

is it illegal to buy her a cd? I plan on buying all the music through itunes :) and I will likely buy it with giftcards on her account so she will will be able to say its legally hers.

Almost posted "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division, but then I reread the thread. :Oops:

Umm, the Cure's "Love Song" is obvious.

"Anyway You Want It" by the Dave Clark Five (Not the Journey song) is a good one.

Usually I'm just full of these, but apparently, no, no I'm not.
