Well, reading LemonTwist's always wonderful posts got me to thinking about some of my favorite romantic songs. And it's a good time, too: yesterday was my girlfriend's birthday, and today is Valentine's Day.Some here are some of my fave love songs:1) Love Me Tonight, Annette Hanshaw. Wonderful, wonderful early 30s song with lyrics expressing uncertainity and hope. Hanshaw's is charming and totally natural, and every song of hers I've heard I like. This was one of the first ones I heard, and is still one of my favorites.2) In My Life, The Beatles. Maybe not an obviously romantic song, but one that makes you think about the people you've known, and how glad you are to have a special love.3) This Is Love (demo version), The Beau Brummels. An unissued at the time demo (released about thirty years later), with just Sal Valentino's beautiful vocals and guitar. A really haunting song that is perfect for folks who realize their in love.4) This Is Our Year, The Zombies. I don't think these guys ever recorded a bad song! Colin Blunstone is right up there with Sal Valentino as one of the 60s best vocalists; he had (and STILL HAS) a wonderfully expressive and marvelous voice. Another song for blooming relations.And many, many songs out there that I dig! These are just a few of the ones I dig the most, off the top of my head.
