Frankie Goes To Hollywood - The Power of Love

Not sure I'd agree that this is a good love song, but get the 12" version if you can, the arrangement and production quality are excellent for its era.

Great opening to a song and still makes me smile no matter how much I hear it. Think it is only on the 12" version though.

"I'll protect you from the hooded claw, keep the vampires from your door..."

Was there not 3 songs in the UK charts at the same with the same title (Power of Love) Frankies song was way better than the other two if my memory serves me well...

Back to the chase..
Couldn't Love You More by John Martyn is a pretty good love song in my opinion

[Teus de Jong]

I remember we played the last part of Mahler's 4th Symphony after my second wedding...
From the popular genre:
'I want you' and 'Make you feel my love', both Bob Dylan.

I don't like sugar songs.

Dream A Little Dream of Me - Favorite version is a duet by Tony Bennett & K D Lang from It's a Wonderful World.

There's another, I only have it on vinyl, Linda Ronstadt with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra, For Sentimental Reasons. (I know its all really old stuff but my grand Uncle Stewart got me hooked when I was young.)

My old cat Spooky used to love that song for some reason too, always came running to hear it. She also used to love when I practiced my violin - had to lock her out to get anything done.

One was by Huey Lewis, as used at the start of Back To The Future. Personally I like it more than the FGTH one, but that could just be because I like the film.
The other was by Jennifer Rush - can't remember how that goes!

"The other was by Jennifer Rush - can't remember how that goes!"

Probably a good thing.

For me will "Love will tear us apart" with Joy Division always take that place.

Probably not the best choice for a wedding, even if it is probably the greatest song in the history of the world ever.

Kate Nash - Nicest Thing is worth checking out. "I wish that you knew that when I said two sugars actually I meant three". Genius.
