Favorite love song?

[Glamrock]

Mrs. Glam played this for tonite. And she laughed (cruel women that she is ). She knows what this version does to me. When Ray kicks in? I get chills and I literally cry. There's so much emotion it just breaks me up. RIP Ray & Brother Leon. Hope y'all dig it. And I hope y'all don't feel it like I do.

[MustLoveBeagles]

1. Here's one of mine

[Glamrock]

5. I haven't heard that in ages!

Great #!

And a happy v day to you beagles!

[MustLoveBeagles]

7. Thank you Glamrock

You have a great one too.

[blm]

2. More than This

Falling in Love With You

Something


Sorry.....just really love all 3 so much

[mr_lebowski]

38. I sang Something to my (now-ex) wife at our wedding ... my cousin on the Guitar ...

Along with 'I'm In Love With a Girl' by Big Star ... so I guess I'll add that to the thread ... 2 minutes of perfection ...

[Glamrock]

83. Hell yes!

[Mrs. Glamrock]

106. Big Star

[Xipe Totec]

3. 19 days and 500 nights (It took to forget her).

[Glamrock]

28. I got nuthin.

The guitar is gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful playing. But, as I'm an American white male, obviously, I don't speak Spanish (yet. It's on my to do list). And please understand, that I'm so not saying SPEAK ENGLISH, YOU'RE IN 'MURICA! I dog this, I'm just not getting the full emotional quality of it dig? But I do enjoy it so thanks for posting.

[Xipe Totec]

85. Here's the lyrics. Enjoy

Ours lasted
As long as two pieces of ice last
In a scotch on the rocks
Instead of pretending
Or, throwing a glass out of jealousy
She laughed
Suddenly I saw myself
Like nobody's dog
Barking, at the gates of heaven
She left me with a dresser full of grievances,
Honey on my lips
And frost on my hair
They were right
My lovers who said
that, before
I was the bad guy
With a single exception
This time
I wanted to try to love her
And she did not
So she left
and left my heart
a skeleton
And on my knees
From the taxi
And, with fanfare
She threw me two kisses
One per cheek
And I returned
To the curse
Of a drawer without her clothes
To perdition
In the cocktail bars
To the Cinderellas
for hire in the corners
And, to bottles
Of fine sherry
Picking up the tab
For soulless people
Who lose their mind
With cocaine
Going crazy,
wasting
money and life
I went, little by little,
giving for lost.

This despite that I,
so as not to burden
her with flowers,
so as not to besiege her
with my anthology
of cold sheets
and empty bedrooms,
not to buy her back
with costume jewelry,
nor be the martyr
that goes, in pilgrimage,
with the brotherhood
of the Holy Reproach,
I loved her so much,
that, I took, to learn
to forget her, nineteen days
and five hundred nights.

She said hello and goodbye,
and, the door slam, rang out
like a question mark,
I suspect that, well,
Cupid avenged himself, through oblivion,
of me.
I do not ask for forgiveness,
What for? If she forgives me
it's because she does not care anymore ...
she always had her nose up too high,
her tongue too sharp
and her skirt too short.

She abandoned me,
like you abandon
old shoes,
shattered my eye glasses
from afar,
pulled out of the mirror
her living portrait,
and, I went, on such a rampage,
through alleys
of gambling and wine,
that, yesterday, the bouncer,
kicked me out of the casino
of Torrelodones.
What a pity,
But now I would reject even the Holy Sacrament,
from her the very moment
that she sent it to me.


Lo nuestro duró
Lo que duran dos peces de hielo
En un güisqui on the rocks
En vez de fingir
O, estrellarme una copa de celos
Le dio por reír
De pronto me vi
Como un perro de nadie
Ladrando, a las puertas del cielo
Me dejó un neceser con agravios
La miel en los labios
Y escarcha en el pelo
Tenían razón
Mis amantes
En eso de que, antes
El malo era yo
Con una excepción
Esta vez
Yo quería quererla querer
Y ella no
Así que se fue
Me dejó el corazón
En los huesos
Y yo de rodillas
Desde el taxi
Y, haciendo un exceso
Me tiró dos besos
Uno por mejilla
Y regresé
A la maldición
Del cajón sin su ropa
A la perdición
De los bares de copas
A las cenicientas
De saldo y esquina
Y, por esas ventas
Del fino laina
Pagando las cuentas
De gente sin alma
Que pierde la calma
Con la cocaína
Volviéndome loco,
derrochando
la bolsa y la vida
la fui, poco a poco,
dando por perdida.

Y eso que yo,
para no agobiar con
flores a María,
para no asediarla
con mi antología
de sábanas frías
y alcobas vacías,
para no comprarla
con bisutería,
ni ser el fantoche
que va, en romería,
con la cofradía
del Santo Reproche,
tanto la quería,
que, tardé, en aprender
a olvidarla, diecinueve días
y quinientas noches.

Dijo hola y adiós,
y, el portazo, sonó
como un signo de interrogación,
sospecho que, así,
se vengaba, a través del olvido,
Cupido de mí.
No pido perdón,
¿para qué? si me va a perdonar
porque ya no le importa...
siempre tuvo la frente muy alta,
la lengua muy larga
y la falda muy corta.

Me abandonó,
como se abandonan
los zapatos viejos,
destrozó el cristal
de mis gafas de lejos,
sacó del espejo
su vivo retrato,
y, fui, tan torero,
por los callejones
del juego y el vino,
que, ayer, el portero,
me echó del casino
de Torrelodones.
Qué pena tan grande,
negaría el Santo Sacramento,
en el mismo momento
que ella me lo mande.

[Glamrock]

87. Wow!

Great lyrics! I wish I spoke Spanish (one day I will). I'm sure understanding the song as it's sung makes it that more powerful. Gracias (one of seven words I know) for the interpretation.

[MontanaMama]

4. After 24 years,

This is the one Mr. Montana and I always come back to. We’ve been through it and back and dang it...we’re still here.

[Glamrock]

8. Hey Mama!

Happy v day to you and Mr. Mama!

Great one! Nuther I ain't heard in ages. Lovin it!

[mr_lebowski]

40. Gotta love that one ... funny, though it always reminds me of CBS or NBC or some network ...

for some strange and ancient reason

[Glamrock]

84. That's funny!

I feel that same vibe

Can't put my finger on it either!

[Mrs. Glamrock]

6. Muskrat love

[Glamrock]

11. I love you

But this is awful! I curse you for making me sit through this horrible 70's lite rock.

[Mrs. Glamrock]

13. Your

AN ASSHOLE love me

[Glamrock]

25. You know I do!

I worship at the alter that is you. But this shit is a bit much!

[mr_lebowski]

42. It really is a terrible version, by a notoriously bad musical duo (though Captain could play a bit)

The original was somewhat amusing though.

[Glamrock]

43. She made me listen to it twice!

That might be grounds for divorce....

And she usually has such great taste. I mean look at her choice in life partner.

[mr_lebowski]

55. The things we do for love ;) (nt)

[Mrs. Glamrock]

107. Haha

[Ohiogal]

9. I posted this the other night

But here it is again....

Your choice gives me chills,too, Glam. Hope you and Mrs. Glam are having a great Valentines Day.

https://m.

[Glamrock]

14. Missed this when you posted.

Dig it!

[Mrs. Glamrock]

18. Happy Valentine's day

[Ohiogal]

102. Back atcha, Mrs. Glam!

[mr_lebowski]

45. Thanks for making me cry this lonely Valentines Day ...

If that right there ain't the Bay Area, California (where my Ex and I met, and where I'm from), I would be pretty shocked. I know the look of those hills ... I'm PRETTY sure they're performing on Mt. Diablo, or definitely somewhere in the same range ... my folks still live 2 miles from one of the entrances to Diablo ...

[Ohiogal]

101. I'm sorry!

I didn’t mean to!

[BigmanPigman]

10. This...

[Glamrock]

15. Hell yes!

This is part of the soundtrack to our wedding video! Knew there were reasons I love ya!

[Mrs. Glamrock]

19. Love

Great freaking song, Missy!

[Docreed2003]

12. "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"...

Thank You - Zep

I Will Follow You Into the Dark

[Glamrock]

23. Very nice!

Never heard Follow you. Beautiful #.

[consider_this]

24. the first time

ever i saw your face...

[empedocles]

82. A unique recording. Great regret in my life. Roberta was playing in a classic DC bar, 2

blocks from where I lived that year - and I was 'unaware' of her. Never heard here live. [ unaware of a lot of things back then].

[CincyDem]

26. Goodbumps every time I hear it. Wonderful Tonight - Clapton.

[blm]

47. In my top five

.

[consider_this]

27. and a TOP one for me..

Jefferson Airplane - Today

[consider_this]

29. WHO!!

[Glamrock]

30. Killing it tonite man!

Impressive selection!

[consider_this]

31. gin inspiration

[Glamrock]

32. Jameson over here!

Nuttin but da best for my belly!

[consider_this]

33. 'Slante!'

[Glamrock]

35. Slante back atcha baby!

[CentralMass]

34. I got shanked just before we hit the 30 year mark and I've lost that loving feeling. However..

In my youth i had an interesting library of casette tapes. Among them were a few from a character named Harry Nilsson. This had to be circa 1972. I was in junior high

I was was always baffled on how he could go from Without You

To You're Breaking My Heart

4 decade later, i understand.

[Glamrock]

37. Holy shit!

That last one just made me a Nilsson fan!

[CentralMass]

51. He had few.

[lynintenn]

103. I always loved that song

[TwilightZone]

36. Tim Minchin

"You Grew on Me"

It's perfect for Valentine's Day.

Tim's one of my favorite people in the world.

[Glamrock]

41. That was great.

While funny, the imagery he weaved throught the song was dead on for some relationships I've been witness to. Incredible. Thanks!

[consider_this]

39. I can't leave this one off

All I Want is You

[mr_lebowski]

60. Excellent Choice ... and being the hardcore U2 geek, I must include this, my favorite live version

This combo with Streets ... in front of 250K people in Dublin at the end of the sold-out 2001-2002 world tour, mere days after Bono's dad passed ... just freaking amazing ...

[consider_this]

68. Just OMG...

WOW - great combo - and 250K fans - amazing is right.
thanks for posting!

[mr_lebowski]

70. If you like U2 and you've never seen the 2002 video "U2-Go Home

Live from Slane Castle", I'm telling you ... just buy the freaking DVD (or Blu-Ray if they have one out).

It's at the very end of what was really a 'come back' tour at the time , they played the Super Bowl (and killed it) right around this time, and they played this (cheap for the fans) show at the very end, when they triumphantly returned to Dublin ... and it's 250K peeps, just rocking start to finish.

If you're as much a fan/nerd as me, you'll likely remember this one from their debut 'Boy' ... I've seen 'em 8 times, going back to 1984, and NO OTHER time have they ever played this one ... their first single, even before I Will Follow. The interlude at 3:00, esp. knowing Bono's dad was laid to rest just days before ... it's just really moving. I love Larry's drumming in this song, too ... dude just never get's lazy and rides the high-hat or taps a cymbal ... he freaking POUNDS it, always.

This show was really a special night, with TONS of amazing renditions. Elevation, Kite, Walk On, and Sunday Bloody Sunday are other highlights ... but for now ... Out of Control ...

[consider_this]

95. great recommendation

thanks - will want to check out for sure.

[consider_this]

96. I'm really into Achtung Baby

especially

Until the End of the World*
and
Love is Blindness

* I don't know why, but I played this one over and over again to try to cope with the re-election of Shrub (that next fucking day)- what a horrible day, I was truly sick over that one, and somehow this song got me through.

[Glamrock]

44. Another Glamrock wedding tune

Black Crowes - Diamond Ring

[CentralMass]

46. Led Zepplin has a few that are really good.

Plant and Page

[mr_lebowski]

64. Yeah, other than Thank You, you're in my mode tonight ;) (nt)

[CentralMass]

69. I wasn't feeling that one much either.

Love that whole album as well.

Buckley's greatest masterpiece (imho) ... the last few minutes ... are just GODLIKE.

it's never over ...

forgive me for adding another version ... they're both fantastic ... but this one is absolutely ridiculous ... helps you can see him do it so freakishly effortlessly

RIP Jeff, we still miss you Brother

[happybird]

92. Wow. That was awesome!

Also watched Mojo Pin from the same show. Just incredible.
Thanks for the link!

I'm a U2 fan, as well, and enjoyed your posts above. I saw them once in 1987, when I was 12. Mom took me because she is the best. We went to lots of concerts when I was young- Michael Jackson, Prince, Pink Floyd in '88, and many others. Then she set me loose once I hit high school (but she still joined us to see Robert Plant more than once, lol!) She's awesome. Anyhooo... it was raining, and Bono slipped and dislocated his shoulder. He came back out after intermission in a sling. The show was shortened but still great. I'll never forget everyone singing 40 all the way from the stadium to the Metro, and while we were packed like sardines on the escalators down.

A few years later, some friends and I camped out for ZooTV tickets. When I got home, I saw footage on Entertainment Tonight of the show the night before in LA. Saw Bono wearing a silver cowboy suit and hat was like, "Oh, hell no." I even-traded my tickets with a friend for Faith No More/Guns N Roses/Metallica tickets.

Metallica did kick ass, and it's the only time I've seen them, but it's still one of my biggest regrets.

I'm taking another dammit.

[mr_lebowski]

79. Walk Forever By My Side ... from one of Wales' finest, Mike Peters ... brilliant song ...
