Love Songs I Love...

So... it's Christmas time and Christmas is all about love right? Well all the love in the air and festive spirit got me to thinking about some of the love songs I love. Not the cheesy vomit inducing kind, but the kind that you can't help getting swept up in. The kind that make you really think about what love really is. The kind that never fail to make you wish someone had written it just for you.

These are in no particular order. They are just songs that sprang to mind that make my chest heave a great big sigh and make me smile inside.


Woman - John Lennon. Oh gosh, Lennon was just the penultimate hopeless romantic really. His love for Yoko was something else.





Split Enz - Message To My Girl. Need I say more? This is just one of my favourite songs in the world.





Nick Drake - Time Has Told Me. This man was seriously underrated. He was a troubled man, and his lyrics are often tinged with melancholy, but the lyrics to this song are simple and breathtaking. "Time has told me, you're a rare, rare find. A troubled cure, for a troubled mind..." A beautiful song.




Leonardo's Bride - Even When I'm Sleeping. Leonardo's Bride may not have had the longest lasting career, although Abby Dobson is a brilliant singer. BUT this song for me stands the test of time and I had to throw it in, because it's sincerity is for me, exactly what love is all about.




Ray Lamontagne - Hold You In My Arms. Another newer one, but all the same a beautful song that makes me wish I was Ray's girlfriend every time! In fact this is one I could imagine having as my wedding song. This man is nothing short of amazing.





John Lennon - Love. I know I have already had Lennon, but this man is love itself! Sounds cheesy, but it's true! You can't have a love song list without this one!




REM - At My Most Beautiful. This song is exactly how you feel when you love someone. "I've found a way to make you... a way to make you smile". Is that not exactly the goal you have when you are in love or lust? To make them smile? This song is perfect.





Wes Carr - Tricks To Magic. Last but not least at all. I can't have a list without this man. Sorry, but I just can't. And this song belongs in here. Wes wrote it when he was only 15, but simplicity and sincerity is the key again here. And not only that, but this man who is one of the most beautiful men in the entire world, made my life by dedicating this song to me last year when he played! "And when a woman, makes you think... she's just like knowing, all the tricks to magic.."




Ahhh, so many beautiful love songs out there.... I need to make a second and third list I think! What love songs make YOU feel all mushy inside?
