Title: Greatest Modern Day Love Song
Post by: Trauma-san on January 20, 2003, 12:29:01 AM
What do yall think is the greatest MODERN DAY love song? I mean, like 1990 Up.  And please don't be afraid to agree with my choice, LOL I think it's gotta be the best, so don't just post something different to be different, lol.  Of course, if you think somethi'n else is better, lemme know.



Greatest Love Song Of the Modern Age Is:






















"All My Life" by K-Ci & JoJo.  Yall know it's hard for me to say that, too, because Usually I think newer stuff pales in comparison to the stuff from the 60's, 70's, Frank Sinatra, Beatles, etc... this song is different though.  Man, this thing is just perfect.  Both of their voices sound so fresh & inspired, and it's just a beautiful song.  Also, it's not all sleazy, like "back it up on me" or anything, lol, it's just really soulful and nice stuff.  We have dances once a month at church, and they always have to play this track, because everybody just eats it up.  My favorite part is

"I promise to never fall in love/With a stranger/
You're all I'm thinking of/I praise the Lord Above/
For sendin' me your love/I cherish Every Hug/
I really Love You
And All My life/ I prayed for someone like you/
and I thank God/I finally found you/
And All My Life/I prayed for someone like you/
And I hope that you feel the same way too/"

Wow, that's just awesome.  The way they're praising God for their love, and the harmonies, and how sincere they sound, is just incredible to me.  There's nothing better than slow dancing with some hot girl to this song, ooh wee; holding her close, your hand on her hip, her hand on your chest, swaying back and forth to this while it's playing so loud the bass is making the floor shake, and the harmonies are echoing off the vault in the dance hall.  People are like "This is gonna be my wedding song" and usually I think that's tacky, lol but man, this song deserves it.  On top of it all, K-Ci & JoJo are both from Charlotte, & Monroe, where I'm hanging out everyday.

LOL yeah, I put it on too, lol.  Man, you gotta come to a dance and experience that think in surround sound, LOL they cut out the intro, too, so it's just like "BOOM I will neva find anotha lova, that's sweeter than youuuuuuuuuuu" it just KILLS you when you hear it.

^^ I hear ya, but none of those are on the same level. You sure he wrote it for his daughter? Sounds a little girl/boyish to me, like he says he 'found' her, and she's all he ever wanted, etc.  Tears in heaven and I will always love you are close, though.  Peace~

"Tears In Heaven" isn't a love song, it is really a song about mourning the death of his son.

Great modern love songs...

When We Dance - Sting
Fields Of Gold - Sting
Ghost Story - Sting
Don't Leave - Peter Gabriel
Can't Stop Loving You - Phil Collins
Nothin Man - Bruce Springsteen
Secret Garden - Bruce Springsteen


There is more I cant think of now...

that still sounds like a love song, he wrote it out of love

The song All My Life isn't like boy/girl, K-Ci said it was just about love, love for whoever, a friend, a lover, and in his case, he said his daughter. I mean, a child brings more lover into your life, it's a beautiful song.

Also other good love songs, and my favorite of the modern era, the song I think is the best....






































If I Ever Fall In Love again by Shai.

Straigh acapella, and it was just beautiful. Talks to a ex-lover, and explains that no lover will be like them. And the singing they did, their voices had all kinds of emotion. That song right there is the only song I knew that can make a whole room of guys who are working out, stop, and start singing each and every word like it was them who was feeling it. The song was just great.

Also, best love making song, Last Night by AZ Yet.

All I got to say is that had to be some good sex, the Sun, the Moon, the Mountains and the Rivers, I saw Heaven when I made sweet Love to you.

YES TRAUMA!  That is one of my all-time favorite songs ever, I love the whole cd.  I usually put the cd on when I go to sleep.  I always thought that song was underrated, imo it should have won countless awards.

yeah, that song is fucking dope as hell, one of the best ever but that song is one of those songs that has a blurry line where it is in a song genre, you can say it's a love song but then again it's hard to,lol

that song was quasi written for cliff burton and quasi written for his james hetfield's mom and quasi written for the fans

Word.  Your right.  Best two love songs of all time....

"All My Life"
"I'll Be" by Edwin McCain- don't forget this track, it's also very spiritual as well.
Title: Re:Greatest Modern Day Love Song
Post by: Trauma-san on January 22, 2003, 02:03:37 PM
Yeah, I'll be is good too.  The beginning of it reminds me of this girl I'm close to, it goes

"The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath
Emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth"

She's got green eyes, and I always think about her when I hear that, it's really poetic.

Actually, that's Silk that did that. People get them confused because they came out the at the sametime, and sound the same, the name and voices, and your able to DL Freak Me by Shai more so than Silk. So you know that's a common mistake.
