Subtle love. So pretty. I'm in love with the lyrics.
Blood Bank- Bon Iver
Lusty love. Makes me want to go dancing in a dark smoky lounge (a la Dirty Dancing).
Cry To Me- Solomon Burke (1962)
When I was a kid, my best friend's mom loved this song. I totally see why. Blatant romance, 80s style.
Slave To Love- Bryan Ferry (1985)
Try and listen to this song without getting a little misty. This song gets me in the guts. Kate Bush is a genius. I cry everytime.
This Woman's Work- Kate Bush (1989)
Its not fashionable to like ABBA, but my grandma played this for me on her big 1970s wooden record player when I was a wee girl. Now I can't listen to it without feeling uplifted and hopeful. Try it, you'll see! It's about best friends helping each other through hard times. What could be better than that really? That is pure love.
Chiquitita- ABBA (1979)
Not a love song in the obvious sense, but all about hope and defeat. Heart breaking in the best way possible. No matter how much I listen, I never tire of this song.
The Greatest- Cat Power (2006)
Lonely optimism. My favorite by my favorite. Sounds like stardust in the middle of nowhere... As good a reason as any.
Atmosphere- Joy Division (1980)
