Love songs you like
 

I think the Steel Reserve I drank last night must have upped my estrogen levels for the day or something. I was just listening to Kathy's Song by Paul Simon and was reminded how much I like it, and it really gets me. Looking at the lyrics, it's a little obsessive/depressive, but there are so many lines I like, and the melody is fantastic:

[ QUOTE ]

I hear the drizzle of the rain
Like a memory it falls
Soft and warm continuing
Tapping on my roof and walls.

And from the shelter of my mind
Through the window of my eyes
I gaze beyond the rain-drenched streets
To England where my heart lies.

My mind's distracted and diffused
My thoughts are many miles away
They lie with you when you're asleep
And kiss you when you start your day.

And a song I was writing is left undone
I don't know why I spend my time
Writing songs I can't believe
With words that tear and strain to rhyme.

And so you see I have come to doubt
All that I once held as true
I stand alone without beliefs
The only truth I know is you.

And as I watch the drops of rain
Weave their weary paths and die
I know that I am like the rain
There but for the grace of you go I.

I also really, really dig on I'll Be Your Mirror by The Velvet Underground. Again, a little dark, but considerably more upbeat than the previous one, and nothing says love like "German chanteuse":

[ QUOTE ]

I'll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're home

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you

I find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand in your darkness, so you won't be afraid

When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you

I'll be your mirror
(reflect what you are)

For a final, more upbeat pick, Something by the Beatles is very, very solid. Not going to post lyrics because this post will already be quite long.

What do you favor, OOT?

Pulp - Something Changed.

I wrote the song two hours before we met.
I didn't know your name or what you looked like yet.
Oh I could have stayed at home and gone to bed.
I could have gone to see a film instead.
You might have changed your mind and seen your friends.
Life could have been very different but then,
something changed.
Do you believe that there's someone up above?
Does he have a timetable directing acts of love?
Why did I write this song on that one day?
Why did you touch my hand and softly say.
Stop asking questions that don't matter anyway.
Just give us a kiss to celebrate here today.
Something changed.
When we woke up that morning we had no way of knowing,
that in a matter of hours we'd change the way we were going.
Where would I be now if we'd never met?
Would I be singing this song to someone else instead?
I dunno but like you said
something changed.

Some of my favorite lyrics ever.

Re: Love songs you like
 

Simply Jessie by Rex Smith.

And I don't know how I knew it
But I knew it somehow
You're the answer to the question
No one's answered till now

And I've known a girl or two
But none of them was you
And they can never be what you are to me

Stars that glisten lips for kissin'
Honey listen it's true
No one ever love you better...
Love you honey, I love you...
