Far from the city lights the lovers dwell in paradise. a world full of joy and warmth which only lovers know about. yet when you have lost the love you had once you know that love can hurt you more than anything else.
but not dilly-dallying anymore in the twists and turns I will try to do justice which may be the most arduous task ever. trying to find 5 best english love songs.(are you kidding me! gimme atleast 25). so here are my picks.obviously they wouldn’t satisfy everyone so you are free to pitch in any omissions you thought was absolutely devastating(hi hi!:-)) to the worth of this review.
1. THANK YOU. DIDO
some people may see the reason for the choice whilst others may claim i’m just biased but everything said and done love should not always be about mushy gushy stuff. love has so many dimensions and sometimes its just enough that even if everything goes wrong around you the person you love can make it alright once again.
Push the door, I’m home at last
and I’m soaking through and through
Then you hand me a towel
and all I see is you
And even if my house falls down,
I wouldn’t have a clue
Because you’re near me and
I want to thank you
for giving me the best day of my life
Oh just to be with you
is having the best day of my life
2. HELLO. LIONEL RICHIE
loving someone is not always about being able to win that person’s heart. you need to get your point across so that person would see just how much she/he means to you.you have desires and wishes that you so fervently wish that the object of your affection would see. this song is a tribute to that very drive.
I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again
How much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello!
I’ve just got to let you know
Because I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely?
Or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven’t got a clue
But let me start by saying I love you
3. LOVE STORY. ANDY WILLIAMS
and what about he kind of love that is so fulfilling that you are absolutely confident as to where you are being led and where exactly you stand. taken from the iconic cult movie ’love story’ based on *erich segal’s *novel of the same name this song comes across as being rather ironic to the storyline in the movie but if you have heard it and been move by it the rendition of the song is too haunting to ignore.
how long does it last
can love be measured
by the hours in a day
I have no answer now
but this much I can say
I know i’ll need her
till the stars all burn away
. and she’ll be there*.
4. ANNIE’S SONG. JOHN DENVER
well how could I have missed this song at all. this is my the most favourite song on the planet(yes I have finally reached a conclusion in these 20 years. some libran decision stalling time . phew!). and every single word of this song is like irreplaceable. you take it as a whole and just get drowned in it. john denver at his very best. any given day. makes the greatest love song ever!
’you fill up my senses
like the night in the forest,
like the moutains in springtime,
like a walk in the rains,
like the storm in the desert,
like a sleepy blue ocean,
you fill up me senses. come fill me again.
come let me love you,
let me give my life to you,
let me drown in your laughter,
let me die in your arms,
let me lay down beside you,
let me always be with you,
come let me love you. come love me again.’
5. I’M READY TO LOVE YOU. BRYAN ADAMS(the slow version)
to all of you who must be thinking how could I possibly select this song over ’everything I do’ i have only one thing to say. I like the raw honesty of this song.
love means commitment. a thing many of us are not capable of at the very outset of a relationship. or sometimes we may just need to get a hang back as to what exactly we are doing with the person we claim to love. this song is like a check on ourselves. to make us wait and check whether we are ready to make the dash?
I’d like to see ya - thought I’d let ya know
I wanna be with ya everyday
Cause I got a feelin’ that’s beginning to grow
And there’s only one thing I wanna say
I’m Ready - To Love Ya
I’m Ready - To Hold Ya
I’m Ready - To Love Ya
I’m Ready - To Hold Ya
Ready as - I’m gonna be
She left me a long note when she left me here
Told me that love was hard to find
But baby it’s easy and I’ll make it clear
There’s only one thing on my mind
I’m Ready
ok. so those were my choices. for better or worse. hope you find some of them to your taste. while brickbats may be thrashed on me in the comments section.
happy listening. luck loving!
