okay so my mind is in a temporary rut* and I need you guys to fill that void for me by giving me some ideas on some non sappy classic rock, indie, ect love songs. some powerful songs!!*partially in a rut because my 2nd HD died along with 6000 songs. I still have most but they are in a 700 cd stack (some of them data cds of music) and I don't even know where to start without some idea. so if its classic rock, late 60s/early 70s time period folk rock, blues, pysch, indie/post rock, I am sure I have it, sooooo.... ..

Isnt it just....Intense I mean.... When I got married for the second time, the dj played this song at the wedding reception and I headbanged in the middle of the dancefloor, barefoot, bridal gown etc... Afterwards my father, who had been standing on the edge of the dancefloor watching said "what are you doing daughter" and then laughed....I think he was a little shocked.... hahaha.... What'll you do when you get lonely And nobody's waiting by your side? You've been running and hiding much too long. You know it's just your foolish pride.
Layla, you've got me on my knees. Layla, I'm begging, darling please. Layla, darling won't you ease my worried mind. I tried to give you consolation When your old man had let you down. Like a fool, I fell in love with you, Turned my whole world upside down. Chorus Let's make the best of the situation Before I finally go insane. Please don't say we'll never find a way And tell me all my love's in vain IP: Logged |

I always liked "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys. It's non sappy but it conjurs up some real romantic images in my mind. Plus I like the music. Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you Bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama Key largo, montego baby why dont we go Jamaica Off the florida keys Theres a place called kokomo Thats where you wanna go to get away from it all Bodies in the sand Tropical drink melting in your hand We'll be falling in love To the rhythm of a steel drum band Down in kokomo Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama Key largo, montego baby why dont we go Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo We'll get there fast And then well take it slow Thats where we wanna go Way down to kokomo To martinique, that monserrat mystique We'll put out to sea And well perfect our chemistry By and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity Afternoon delight Cocktails and moonlit nights That dreamy look in your eye Give me a tropical contact high Way down in kokomo Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama Key largo, montego baby why dont we go Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo We'll get there fast And then well take it slow Thats where we wanna go Way down to kokomo Port au prince I wanna catch a glimpse Everybody knows A little place like kokomo Now if you wanna go And get away from it all Go down to kokomo Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama Key largo, montego baby why dont we go Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo We'll get there fast And then well take it slow Thats where we wanna go Way down to kokomo Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama Key largo, montego baby why dont we go Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo IP: Logged |

Another one of my all time favorite "unconventional" love songs is Bob Dylan's " Tangled Up In Blue"Early one mornin' the sun was shinin', I was layin' in bed Wond'rin' if she'd changed at all If her hair was still red. Her folks they said our lives together Sure was gonna be rough They never did like Mama's homemade dress Papa's bankbook wasn't big enough. And I was standin' on the side of the road Rain fallin' on my shoes Heading out for the East Coast Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through, Tangled up in blue. She was married when we first met Soon to be divorced I helped her out of a jam, I guess, But I used a little too much force. We drove that car as far as we could Abandoned it out West Split up on a dark sad night Both agreeing it was best. She turned around to look at me As I was walkin' away I heard her say over my shoulder, "We'll meet again someday on the avenue," Tangled up in blue. I had a job in the great north woods Working as a cook for a spell But I never did like it all that much And one day the ax just fell. So I drifted down to New Orleans Where I happened to be employed Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat Right outside of Delacroix. But all the while I was alone The past was close behind, I seen a lot of women But she never escaped my mind, and I just grew Tangled up in blue. She was workin' in a topless place And I stopped in for a beer, I just kept lookin' at the side of her face In the spotlight so clear. And later on as the crowd thinned out I's just about to do the same, She was standing there in back of my chair Said to me, "Don't I know your name?" I muttered somethin' underneath my breath, She studied the lines on my face. I must admit I felt a little uneasy When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe, Tangled up in blue. She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe "I thought you'd never say hello," she said "You look like the silent type." Then she opened up a book of poems And handed it to me Written by an Italian poet From the thirteenth century. And every one of them words rang true And glowed like burnin' coal Pourin' off of every page Like it was written in my soul from me to you, Tangled up in blue. I lived with them on Montague Street In a basement down the stairs, There was music in the cafes at night And revolution in the air. Then he started into dealing with slaves And something inside of him died. She had to sell everything she owned And froze up inside. And when finally the bottom fell out I became withdrawn, The only thing I knew how to do Was to keep on keepin' on like a bird that flew, Tangled up in blue. So now I'm goin' back again, I got to get to her somehow. All the people we used to know They're an illusion to me now. Some are mathematicians Some are carpenter's wives. Don't know how it all got started, I don't know what they're doin' with their lives. But me, I'm still on the road Headin' for another joint We always did feel the same, We just saw it from a different point of view, Tangled up in blue. Copyright © 1974 Ram's Horn Music

thanks sue!bob dylan is amazing, I got to see him last summer..wow...to see a living legend is incredible and despite his voice (eee) it still gave me goosebumps. a very mysterious man too, at least he came off like that when I saw him. He got on stage, didn't say a thing and just played...didn't converse with the audience at all but you know he loves music! It was all natural and not hard to imagine him doing that all the time. I wonder what his chart looks like. The way he came off on stage was how I would imagine Tom Waits to act (another mystery man). Waits had a good love song I remember. a hauntingly beautiful song. I love that when the lyrics send a chill down your spine or where they are so sorrowful it is beautiful, if that makes sense. anyone else feel that way? IP: Logged |

Aw man, Tangled Up In Blue is one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs. You're so lucky you got to see him live, carlfloydfan, that's awesome. Let's see, I prefer my love songs of the non-sappy classic rock variety as well...Heart of Gold- Neil Young I Want to Tell You- The Beatles (maybe a wee bit sappy, but I'm a sucker for George Harrison songs.) Echoes- Pink Floyd (One of my favorites.) and from the same album, A Pillow of Winds is pretty nice also. Ruby Tuesday- The Rolling Stones Just Like a Woman- Bob Dylan IP: Logged |

Incubus has some good ones. Elton John. Train. Non-sappy? I'm not sure what you'd define as an unsappy love song. A fine line, I would think! Love song (The Cure or 311) Beck has a gorgeous song called "Beautiful Way." What about Oasis or Coldplay? Melissa Etheridge. Joss Stone. The Doors. One of my personal favorites is "Time After Time," and there are tons of remakes. Lately I've been listening to a rendition by OAR. Love it!

I found some Al Kooper Through the dark of day your light came shinin through A golden ray of love that stretched from me to you In my hour of need the whole world turned its back on me You were there and not a word was said A shoulder for my weary head CAMILLE If I forsake you may I die If I disgrace you may I cry A thousand nights and never feel another moments love My sweet CAMILLE I need your tenderness & all the love that's heaven-blessed And all these things that we share together I owe to you CAMILLE You were there and not a word was said A shoulder for my weary head CAMILLE If I forsake you may I die If I disgrace you may I cry A thousand nights and never feel another moments love My sweet CAMILLE
everywhere I go I hear CAMILLE If I forsake you may I die If I disgrace you may I cry A thousand nights and never feel another moments love my sweet camille shes all around me I can feel her I'm in love! IP: Logged |

JJ Calesuch an easy going yet passionate person! I think he is a typical sag Whippoorwill's singing Soft summer breeze Makes me think of my baby I left down in New Orleans I left down in New Orleans Magnolia, you sweet thing You're driving me mad Got to get back to you, babe You're the best I ever had You're the best I ever had You whisper "Good morning" So gently in my ear I'm coming home to you, babe I'll soon be there I'll soon be there IP: Logged |

John Sebastian - she's a lady (I think its a cover of an older song but I like his version better) and my gf loooves this song She`s a lady And I chanced to meet her In my scufflin days She`s a lady Hypnotized me there that day I came to play in my usual way, hey Floating along with a whimsical twinkling In her strange green eyes Linger with me. She said, `Yes!` And, oh, the time did fly. She`s a lady Give her time for she`s Allowed to change her mind She`s a lady Happy to say she once was mine. Only sometimes I remember old times And when she says, `Can you guess, it`s a dress You won`t believe. Would you come zip me up And button up my sleeve. Oh, lady, lady of ladies. I remember days that felt like It was raining daisies. IP: Logged |

and since she is french Tels deux amants de longue date Nous nouse retrouverions une aprés-midi Nous ferions, nouse ferions longuement l'amour Ce souvenir vivra dans mes cellules Quand tes yeux pénétrants rencontreront les miens Ton corps, ne quitterait jamais le mien Il y resterait une éternité Le son profond de ta voix Tel un rayon vibrant ouvrira mon coeur IP: Logged |

Call me when you're Sober Evanessece Don?t cry to me. If you loved me, you would be here with me. You want me, come find me. Make up your mind.
Should?ve let you fall, Lose it all, So maybe you can remember yourself. Can?t keep believing, We?re only deceiving ourselves, And I?m sick of the lies, And you?re too late. Don?t cry to me. If you loved me, you would be here with me. You want me, come find me. Make up your mind. Couldn?t take the blame, Sick with shame. Must be exhausting to lose your own game. Selfishly hated, No wonder you?re jaded, You can?t play the victim this time. And you're too late. So, don?t cry to me. If you loved me, you would be here with me. You love me, come find me. Make up your mind. You never call me when you?re sober, You only want it ?cause it?s over - it?s over. How could I have burned paradise. How could I, you were never mine? So, don?t cry to me. If you loved me, you would be here with me. Don?t lie to me, just get your things. I?ve made up your mind.
