Help with two V-Day CDs

[UnforgettableLemon]

What are your suggestions for a love songy CD, not anything TOO cheesy, (I already have plenty of those in mind). And another one for, *cough* other things.

 

[u2popmofo]

Celine Dion - 'My Heart Will Go On'

That song isnt cheesy at all.





I hate myself for even saying that, forgive me.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

No. Just no.

 

[Cute Irish Bono]

Dave Matthews Band-Sleep to Dream Her
Hall & Oates-Sara Smiles
Everclear-The Honeymoon Song
(maybe) Everclear-Good Witch of the North
Incubus-I Miss You
New Radicals-Someday We'll Know


I hope you like these!

 

[Edgeman]

First cd that comes to mind is David Usher - Little Songs. Or as the liner notes say "Little Songs To Fuck To"

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Yes, be sure to specify to which disc you think each song should go.

 

[Edgeman]

Mine is an actual cd...sorry, songs I can do too.

Coldplay - Green Eyes

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Green Eyes is one I'd thought of. She has sort of sea green eyes, they shift from green to blue.

 

[Edgeman]

That's awesome, a great song for great eyes. I think that song is almost a clincher.

 

[u2popmofo]

Lamb - 'Gorecki'
VNV Nation - 'Beloved'


2 of the most beautiful songs I can think of, perfect for Valentines. If you can't get or find these, let me know.

 

[Edgeman]

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps

That's a good one I think.

 

[u2popmofo]

The Smiths - 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out'

 

[Edgeman]

The Tea Party - The Messenger

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

The Smiths - 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out'

I really like this song, but not quite what I'm looking for. Thanks though.

 

[dandy]

most of the love songs i prefer are angst filled, tortured love songs like the cure...

pretty love songs:

julee cruise-- 'until the end of the world'

cowboy junkies--'sweet jane'

i second lamb's 'gorecki'--beautiful beautiful song


songs for other recreational activities

nickodemus--'cleopatra in new york' (if you're into that middle eastern, belly dancer vibe)

depeche mode--'world in my eyes' (you may laugh, but i find that song is totally hot)


dual purpose:

norah jones--'i've got to see you again', 'turn me on'

astrud gilberto--'girl from ipanema'

diana krall--'how deep is the ocean'

ella fitzgerald--'fever'

...you get the idea.

 

[Edgeman]

Put some Sigor Ros on there to set the mood. So beautiful.

 

[Edgeman]

Check out "Dakona - Waiting" for the pre *wink wink* cd.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

That's something i've considered. I only have a few songs that i really know I want to use at this moment.

Love songs:
Crazy Love - Van Morrison
Never Tear Us Apart - INXS
I Wanna Be There - Blessid Union of Souls (there are a few lyrics that really hit home for our relationship at this point)
Green Eyes - Coldplay
(Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For? - Nick Cave

songs
Ice Cream - Sarah McLachlan
Stateless - U2
Into the Mystic - Van Morrison

And if I were feeling really bold... Closer - Nine Inch Nails (Okay, so not really. But still )

 

[Edgeman]

Closer would work if you really want to ruin the mood. Could be funny.

 

[dandy]

And if I were feeling really bold... Closer - Nine Inch Nails (Okay, so not really. But still )

uh, trent's song 'physical' is slightly more subtle than 'closer' and maybe an option if you want a little of that vibe going on. trust me, girls respond to that song.



if you're including u2 songs, don't forget about 'hawkmoon'.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Closer would work if you really want to ruin the mood. Could be funny.

 

[enajh2]

George Harrison - Something
Travis - Writing To Reach You
Paul Weller - You Do Something To Me OR Sunflower
Coldplay - Yellow
David Gray - Babylon
REM - Strange Currencies
Crowded House - Fall At your Feet
Oasis - Wonderwall
Red Hot Chili Peppers - The Zephyr Song
Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Also, on the slightly cheesier side, I was thinking about Billy Joel's "Just the Way You Are," too.

 

[enajh2]

Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On!
Frank Sinatra - Fly Me To The Moon
Beach Boys - God Only Knows
The Kinks - You Really Got Me
Percy Sledge - When A Man Loves A Woman
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power Of Love
Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight
Elvis Costello - Alison OR I Want You

 

[Edgeman]

Led Zeppelin - Whole Lotta Love

Could be fun during the act...I mean *wink* part.

 

[MrBrau1]

What Would I Do Without You- Ray Charles

You Send Me- Sam Cooke

That's How Strong My Love Is- Otis Redding

That Is Why I Love You So- Jackie Wilson

 

[lmjhitman]

U2 - If you wear that velvet dress

Just came on my iTunes. Shit, I'd forgotten how HOT that song is!

 

[enajh2]

What about?

Electric Six - Gay Bar!

"Girl!
I wanna take you to a gay bar,
I wanna take you to a gay bar,
I wanna take you to a gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.

Let's start a war, start a nuclear war,
At the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.
Wow! (Shout out loud)
At the gay bar.

Now tell me do ya, a do ya have any money?
I wanna spend all your money,
At the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.

I've got something to put in you,
I've got something to put in you,
I've got something to put in you,
At the gay bar, gay bar, gay bar.
Wow!

You're a superstar, at the gay bar.
You're a superstar, at the gay bar.
Yeah! you're a superstar, at the gay bar.
You're a superstar, at the gay bar.
Superstar.
Super, super, superstar"

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Oh yeah, I'm also making the following addition to disc one:

Eric Clapton - "Wonderful Tonight"

 

[typhoon]

"OOOOOH, BABY, I LOVE YOUR WAY."
