My definition of love = intensive care of the other people, affection, NO tricks and show that you care.
If you feel something for someone, you don't need to lie, to pretend you are someone else. It's just you and the other person, and I suppose you start doing projects... There are things you want to do, also common things, like having a walk around. But if you do that with a special person for you, that walk will be something special for you. For the both of you.

Someone says that in a couple there's always one part that loves more than the other. I think that's not a real couple but to people who stay together, but they're not meant one for the other.
 
I would assume that real love, and not the dramatic television kind, takes either two very strong people or a very strong connection, and maybe both.

What interests me most is the partnership / team aspect of it all. I'm sure it is typical for one person to sacrifice more than the other for the sake of the couple, but still... it seems like an awesome thing to strive for...
 
"Like A Hurricane" - Neil Young

Once I thought I saw you
in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light
from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam
I know that's who you are,
I saw your brown eyes
turning once to fire.

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.

I am just a dreamer,
but you are just a dream,
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.

You are just a dreamer,
and I am just a dream.
You could have been
anyone to me.
Before that moment
you touched my lips
That perfect feeling
when time just slips
Away between us
on our foggy trip.

You are like a hurricane
There's calm in your eye.
And I'm gettin' blown away
To somewhere safer
where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but
I'm getting blown away.
 
Just a consideration...
I dunno if I know what love is and I dunno if I'll ever know.

But that's a thing that is enchanting: everyone talks about it, everyone has an opinion about this mystery object of our desire.

It's like a myth that lasts forever
 
Love is something no one person can have the definition of.


It's meaning....... only comes from how it's shared........
 
"Dreams" - Van Halen


World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin' down
Better change your tune
Yeah, you reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby, just spread your wings

We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

Run, run, run away
Like a train runnin' off the track
Got the truth bein' left behind
Falls between the cracks
Standin' on broken dreams
Never losin' sight, ah
Well just spread your wings

We'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher
Leave it all behind

So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
'Cause we belong in a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

Yeah, we'll get higher and higher
Straight up we'll climb
Higher and higher
Leave it all behind
Oh, we'll get higher and higher
Who knows what we'll find?

So baby dry your eyes
Save all the tears you've cried
Oh, that's what dreams are made of
Oh baby, we belong in a world that must be strong
Oh, that's what dreams are made of

And in the end on dreams we will depend
'Cause that's what love is made of
 
:up:

I was driving in my city this afternoon and I had the radio on-
I thought about all the songs, poems, books that have been written to try and catch what love is.

And one of the niceste is maybe
"I wanna know what love is/ I want you to show me"

Simple & true.
 
it's a lot like asking "what's your favorite movie?"

or something about art.


B ecause it's open to interpretation, and how you answer the question tells much about who you are. etc, etc ,etc......
 
^ Probably that's why I still don't know what my favourite movie is and I can't say what's my fav U2 song...
 
I can't say I've got a favorite movie. But I've got no difficulty in listing my favorite song (and U2 song), heh heh heh........
 
Reply

Lord of the Rings.........{all 3}..........

I don't have a favorite U2 song.........it would be difficult to decipher....it would take much analysis.......

:|
 
Yes, for U2 songs... it's that I have special moments with A LOT of them, so how can I chose??

One that always makes me floating on air is "The ground beneath her feet" but I can't say it is my fav or not!
 
And, as maybe I've already told, TGBHF has also got one of the greatest definition of love, that is "let me bring you to where two roads meet"

:drool:
 
Then let us kno what you think about it

I think it's a tender, lovely song
I love its atmosphere...

& I hope you'll enjoy it.
 
I just heard a song on the radio and I want to discuss about the content here. The song is "Used to love you", by John Legend

If you don't remember them, here are the lyrics:
La La La
La La La

Maybe, it's me, maybe i bore u
No no, it's my fault, cos i can't afford u
Maybe baby, puffy, jay z
would all be better for u
Cos all i can do is luv u

Baby when i used to luv u
Theres' nothing that i wouldn't do
I went thru the fire for you, do anything you asked me to
But i tired of livin this lie
It's getting harder to justify
Realised that i just don't luv u
Not like i used to

La la la
la la la

Maybe, i should rob somebody
So we could, live like whitney and bobby
It's probably my fault, my bad, my loss
But u are, above cost
Cos all i could do was luv u

Baby when i used to luv u, theres' nothing that i wouldn't do
I went thru the fire for you, do anything you asked me to
But i'm tired of living this lie
It's getting harder to justify
Realised that i just don't luv u
Not like i used to

Hola hola hola
Hola hola hola

Do you remember when i used to luv u
Baby no not any more, luv u
Ooohhhh, I luv u
And you're gonna miss me now

Baby when i used to luv u
There's nothing that i wouldn't do,
I went thru the fire for u, and i'm not gonna play the fool
No i can't live this life, and i can't justify, and i can't make up my life
Cos i don't luv u
Not like i used to do

Hola hola hola
Hola hola hola

Oh i used to luv u
Oh i used to luv u

Oh but I don't luv u
Oh but I don't luv u

Oh but you're gonna miss me now

Baby when i used to luv u, theres' nothing that i wouldn't do
I went thru the fire for you, do anything you asked me to
But i'm tired of living this lie
It's getting harder to justify
Realised that i just don't luv u
Not like i used to

la la la
la la la
Oh i used to luv u
Oh i used to luv u

Oh but I don't luv u
Oh but I don't luv u

Oh but you're gonna miss me now

Oh but I don't luv uuuuuuuuuuu

******************************

Do you think that is possible?
You love someone and at a certain point love ends?
That means you were not in love, even if you thought you were?
 
exactly.



Some people so much wantto be in love that they make up lies about how they feel.

So really, I'd say it's the guy's fault for lieing to himself. The trick is, even though you lie to yourself and aren't really involved, you can still endure pain,because of the emotional involvement.'

It's sorta twisted, I know.


===========


As for the song..... the lyrics don't say why he doesn't love her any more, just that he doesn't. So it's rather inconclusive.

I mean, you can "decide" to love or not to love. But I think if you really are in a deep, everlasting love, then you don't one day fall out of it.


However, it sounds kinda like the song is about a guy who could only give a girl his love, because he wasn't rich or anything. But maybe it wasn't enough for that girl, maybe she wanted money, or a house, etc etc. So maybe, because of that, he had to stop loving her, because his love wasn't reciprocated.


I really don't know.

Maybe I missed something in the lyrics, but it seems rather open ended.


What is really going on in the song?


He doesn't love her anymore........ and...........?
what else?
 
I like to think that love does not ends.
Passion can end -- I mean, if a couple has been together for more than, to say, 20 years, I don't think they share the same passion they had when they were younger.
But they share love, anyway.
And that could be the thing that keep them together -- and the key to lasting & happy weddings.

I think that love can increase; it requires a lot of dedication and care, but if we want to, we can make it lasts.

The words "I don't love you anymore" ... well, they sound false to me.

=======

As for the song I posted before...
I suppose that he's just saying I am breaking up with you -- we will never been together again.
Maybe he was sort of blind before realizing he was not in love
Blinded by the need and willing of love

Having someone that cares and give affection and attentions must be wonderful. I don't think anyone would push those nice things away

But love... well, that's another thing
That should be another thing

I am pretty sure that a lot of people get merried just because they fear to be alone forever. I don't say that's wrong, but I am romantic at the point I think you should get merried just with your "twin soul". With no-one else

Wedding is a holy thing -- I am not so religious, but I still have this idea...
 
Well at least I agree with you on that last post.


I really don't like it when people say love, because people don't think about it the way you and I do.

That's why I think I should come up with a new word or something, because "love" seems to have lost it's meaning....
 
Dammit........


You're right, lady luck.......


That guy can't be talking about love. At least not in my world, my definition of it........

When you are in love, even after the relationship has ended, you still have to fight yourself from thinking........ From wondering about the other person, especially if they casually drop by, or say hello, etc etc etc........

You don't just...... .........................

"stop"
 
Love Will Tear Us Apart- Joy Division


When the routine bites hard
and ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways,
taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart
again

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
our respect run so dry?
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through
our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart
again
 
It's a pity that everytime love in the subject of a conversation, it can't be separetd from pain

:(

I know it's just because that's how things go...
But I really wish it was not like that

Ok, maybe what I just wrote is the most banal things
