Do they make as big a deal about Valentine's Day in the UK and Oz as they do here? I was going to start a thread of great romantic songs, but couldn't decide whether to go negative or positive...so, here's some that stand out in various ways, for me. Please add your own. Most Romantic GoBees Song: "Quiet Heart", in a close tie with "Devil's Eye" and "Twin Layers of Lightning"... Best GoBees Breakup Song: "Dive For Your Memory", followed closely by "Part Company" Best Love Sucks Song: Hands down, it's "Love Will Tear Us Apart", followed closely by Gram and Emmylou's version of "Love Hurts" Great, mopey "life was much better when you were around" songs: "When You Were Mine" - Prince, "A Case of You" - Joni Mitchell, "I Want You" - Elvis Costello Best "I can be horribly unfaithful, because I'm a man, dammit" song: "Appetite" - Prefab Sprout Best "I've been masturbating so much since you left that, frankly, I'm getting worried" song: "Turning Japanese" - the Vapors Best "how can I miss you when you won't go away" song: "I'd Rather Be Lonely" - Loudon Wainwright III Best song (discreetly) about sex: "Right In Time" - Lucinda Williams Most romantic songs, period: "Let's Stay Together" - Al Green, "These Arms of Mine" - Otis Redding, "Nearness of You" - Ella Fitzgerald,"Night and Day" - Frank Sinatra, "God Only Knows" - the Beach Boys, and "I'll Wear it Proudly" - Elvis Costello. | ||

Best "sums up how I feel about Valentine's Day" song: "If You Won't Leave Me I'll Find Somebody Who Will" - Warren Zevon Best Warren Zevon song that gives the lie to the above sentiment: "Let Nothing Come Between You." | ||

Elvis wrote some real corker love songs! "I hate you for leaving me and I want you to hurt" song: "God Give Me Strength" from the movie and soundtrack Grace Of My Heart. "My love life sucks since you left me" album: Til Tuesday's Everything's Different Now. Which of course features a song that Aimee and Elvis wrote together, "(The Other End Of The)Telescope". | ||
