Wondering what people consider their favourite love song. No matter if it's a happy, sad or melancholic one.
Mine is Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers.
Very simple lyrics, yes, but to me, it just has that something special.

Eternal Flame by The Bangles, I think. Not just for the song itself, but for the beautiful way Susanna Hoffs sings it.
A Man & A Woman by Meat Loaf is also excellent, though - and for similar reasons.

Oh, I don't really know... I love Stripped with Depeche Mode (that's not the official video btw), but that's not really about love. Well, not only, anyway... It's more about escapeing in order to cope with the bleak reality than acual love, though I do believe love is the tool used... Aha, I got it! Just Like Heaven with The Cure! I just love that song. My brother played it to me when I was 10, and translated the lyrics for me, and it just clicked right away. Übereil |

The 9 Million bycicles in Beijing by Katie Melua, definitively. Or "What A Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong, if you can call this a "love song". Eternal flame is great, too, and one single of their last album features a nice acoustic version of it.  Apart from that - it is difficult. "Don't give up" is beautiful in it's own right. |

Ooh... I don't know, quite a few of those really old Mandarin classics whose names now elude me, I suppose. Those were really great for their time and didn't try to over-do all the pop elements or become too depressing a la Celine Dion.

The Ultimate Love Song, hmm there are several that the man of my dreams can play for me to make me melt  but one that stands out the most of all must be The Highwayman by Loreena McKennit

Yes. I'll agree with you there, Alrik. On both counts. Absolutely beautiful song |

Sweet child of mine by Guns n' Roses.
