Autumnpuma 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 My wife and I were talking about romantic music the other night and she mentioned that Pachabell's Canon was, to her, the most 'romantic' piece of music ever written. She asked me what I considered to be musically 'romantic' and my answer was not as...enlightened....as hers, I suppose! So, my forum friends, what musically exemplifies 'Love' to you? Never fear that your answer will be silly because I'll tell you mine..and rest assured that your answer will be far better than mine! (unless you're Jem and you list a Westlife song ) Oh, there probably is a thread about this already, but I'm too lazy to search right now.... I'm particularly interested in what DOF will have to say. He is, after all, an escaped robot from the Toyota factory and it will be educational to see what his electronic and metal brain will come up with! Okay, my rather hokey contribution would be 'When you say nothing at all'. The Alison Krauss version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oli 1 Report post Posted January 22, 2008 I loathe Pachelbel's Canon. I think romance would be precluded by me vomiting in a corner somewhere. I'd go for the "Karelia Suite" by Sibelius as it has some good tempo changes ;-) Otherwise anything by the Love Walrus himself, Mr Barry White. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Out of Country songs, I always liked 'Take the Wings Off Me', nice alternative name for losing one's virginity However, I don't think it was the Reba McIntyre version I liked, but I can't remember who it was. Crystal Gayle's 'When I Dream' is very good live too, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Always liked 'Stand By Me' as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quiet One 15 Report post Posted January 22, 2008 So many...love is not easy to capture, or explain...so many songs are needed to view the different angles and try to get a glimpse of love. Some of them might be: Bach, "Air on the G String": In fact, Bach was accused of being too mathematic in his approach, too perfect. His work was inspired by religion, not by mundane love. But listen to this "Air", for example. The sweetness of that violin brings tears to my eyes from pure, unadultered beauty. This is love, a love made of notes and silences. Bach is my favorite, in case you didn't notice. Smetana, "The Moldau": lovemaking, classical music version. It's about a river, but its a perfect course in expressiveness. Lou Reed, "Perfect Day": because all of us had a perfect day sometime. And love is usually the culprit. Procol Harum, "A whiter shade of pale": don't get any of the covers, their version is the one to capture the right mood. The covers tend to highlight too much how corny this song can be. Elvis Presley, "Love Me Tender": a great lullaby for the woman you love. Sing it to her softly while she falls asleep. Tuck her in. Light a cigarette, and look at the night through the window. You are a lucky man. Doors, "The Crystal Ship": they posed as the great poets and artists, I liked The Who better, but in this particular song, Morrison really was up to his claims. Beatles, "I'm so tired": When love rears up it's ugly head... The Platters, "Unchained melody": again, don't get any other version. This one is truly unchained. And so, oh so many more... Yeah, I am too corny. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dribbler 6 Report post Posted January 22, 2008 "Regrets" by Anthony Phillips. Is that a song all about Hackett resentment? I think that Otis Redding takes some beating when it comes to romantic music. I just adore 'Since I've Been Loving You'. It is a heart achingly beautiful piece of music that brings any woman to her knees (advantageous if you are stood). And on not such a serious note, two pieces of crude music by Frank Zappa spring to mind when thinking of the complete opposite of romantic music. One is 'Dinah-Moe Humm' (a song about a woman who doesn't believe any man can make her orgasm) and 'Ms Pinky' (a song about a rubber sex toy). Women will hate both pieces. I think they are rip roaringly hilarious; I couldn't say where she's coming' from, But I just met a lady named Dinah-Moe Humm She stroll on over, say look here, bum, I got a forty dollar bill say you can't make me cum (Y'jes can't do it) She made a bet with her sister who's a little bit dumb She could prove it any time all men was scum I don't mind that she called me a bum, But I knew right away she was really gonna cum (So I got down to it) I whipped off her bloomers'n stiffened my thumb An' applied rotation on her sugar plum I poked 'n stroked till my wrist got numb But I still didn't hear no Dinah-Moe Humm, Dinah-Moe Humm Dinah-Moe Humm Dinah-Moe Humm Where's this Dinah-Moe Comin' from I done spent three hours An' I ain't got a crumb From the Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe, Dinah-Moe From the Dinah-Moe Humm Got a spot that gets me hot, ow! An' you ain't been to it (No no no no!) Got a spot that gets me hot, ow! An' you ain't been to it (No no no!) Got a spot that gets me hot But you ain't been to it (No no no no no!) Got a spot that gets me hot But you ain't been to it 'Cause I can't get into it Unless I get out of it An' I gotta get out of it Before I get into it 'Cause I never get into it Unless I get out of it An' I gotta be out of it To get myself into it (She looked over at me with a glazed eye And some bovine perspiration on her upper lip area And she said . . . ) Just get me wasted An' you're half-way there 'Cause if my mind's tore up, Then my body don't care I rubbed my chinny-chin-chin An' said my-my-my What sort of thing Might this lady get high upon? I checked out her sister Who was holdin' the bet An' wondered what kind of trip The young lady was on The forty dollar bill didn't matter no more When her sister got nekkid an' laid on the floor [ Lyrics found at www.mp3lyrics.org/VGn ] She said Dinah-Moe might win the bet But she could use a little ______ if I wasn't done yet I told her . . . Just because the sun Want a place in the sky No reason to assume I wouldn't give her a try So I pulled on her hair Got her legs in the air An' asked if she had any cooties on there (Whaddya mean cooties! No cooties on me!) She was buns-up kneelin' BUNS UP! I was wheelin' an dealin' WHEELIN' AN' DEALIN' AN' OOOOH! She surrender to the feelin' SHE SWEETLY SURRENDERED An' she started in to squealin' Dinah-Moe watched from the edge of the bed With her lips just a-twitchin' an' her face gone red Some drool rollin' down From the edge of her chin While she spied the condition Her sister was in She quivered 'n quaked An' clutched at herself While her sister made a joke About her mental health 'Till Dinah-Moe finally Did give in But I told her All she really needed Was some discipline . . And Ms Pinky; I got a girl with a little rubber head. Rinse her out ever night just before I go to bed.
