I'm sure you must have heard those great Gershwin classics sometime in your life."<br /><br />:) well, Arlee, you must bear in mind that I'm close to the age of your older daughter and that I don't live in the USA (not to mention that English isn't my native language), so it's no wonder older jazz and rock singers and bands and their songs aren't all familiar to me :) <br /><br />And I forgot to add that my favourite love song of all times would probably be I DROVE ALL NIGHT (in Cyndi Lauper's interpretation).DEZMONDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14127166104359407763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-48286175171357996572010-06-29T22:17:43.344-07:002010-06-29T22:17:43.344-07:00Yvonne -- I think I understand what you're fee...Yvonne -- I think I understand what you're feeling and I hope it's just a temporary misunderstanding. I'm not sure what you mean by discrimination, but I know sometimes I become frustrated with blogging when I put so much time into my posts and don't get the comments I'd like. Try not to worry because you seem to have a pretty loyal following. People will come and go and in this blog business it's hard to know why since the contact is so indirect and distant. You are doing a great job. Maybe it might help if you scheduled posts less days per week, unless your obsessive about posting everyday like I am and after September 21 I thnk this may change for me-- right now I just got a personal challenge going. Hang in there Yvonne. A lot of us look forward to your posts. <br /><br />Stephen -- God Only Knows is such a classic song about true love I had to include it.<br /><br />Larry --Cockburn's <i>Humans</i> has such powerful songs about divorce-- some of the most straight-forward serious songs I know. I listened to this album a lot when I was going thru my divorce in the early 90s.Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-16808634004246382532010-06-29T11:42:41.419-07:002010-06-29T11:42:41.419-07:00Lee-

The Cockburn songs are an interesting choice, and "Longer" is excellent-sappy is the whole point of a love song!<br /><br />"I Love You More Today Than Yesterday" is a song I always thought was on a Stevie Wonder album that I didn't own yet.<br /><br />LCDiscConnectedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07013919800637508392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-75917687307936787162010-06-29T09:09:18.343-07:002010-06-29T09:09:18.343-07:00R-LEE-B ~

I really LOVE that song, even if it didn't appear on my list. <br /><br />I did consider including "Good Vibrations", and of course, "Caroline No" made my Breakup Songs list. Brian Wilson truly was a musical genius, and nobody harmonized better than The Beach Boys did. Excellent choice, Brother!<br /><br />And I also like the Spiral Staircase song "More Today Than Yesterday". That one tends to get stuck in my mind for extended periods of time. <br /><br />~ "Lonesome Dogg" McD-FensStephen T.

To be honest I ...Thanks for your visit and comment,<br />To be honest I am all for giving up blogging. The reason? well I have come up against discrimination. I happened to mention to a few followers something I have to put up with for the rest of my life, I am not ashamed of the fact, It lives with me and not the other way round.<br />since the disclosure these followers have not commented on my posts though they did everyday without fail. Sure I have many good friends here in blogland and have worked hard to get the foLlowers I have, You have played an important part in my success here had it not been for the Ato Z challenge but I feel uncomfortable<br />at the moment, to be discriminated is not a pleasant thing especially when it's no fault of your own.<br /><br />Yvonne.RHYTHM AND RHYMEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11386975261804630799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-24512010594850701412010-06-28T19:06:54.122-07:002010-06-28T19:06:54.122-07:00My favorite love song is probably I Will Be Here b...My favorite love song is probably I Will Be Here by Stephen Curtis Chapman.

I'm up for your challenge for tomorrow.<br /><br />Jemi -- "And I Love Her" is a beautiful song. <br /><br />Jane -- Is "Don't Go Changing" the same as "Just the Way You Are". If so wouldn't that be a love song? How about "Moving Out" from Billy Joel for a break up song?<br /><br />Cheryl -- That's me too. These songs all don't come from the same time in my life.<br /><br />Trudy-- Enjoyed your list as well.

I'll bet you can come up with some for that category.<br /><br />Will -- I've owned the <i>TEN</i> CD for a long time but I guess I haven't listened to it that much because I don't remember this song. I listened to "Black" on Youtube and read the lyrics. It's a good song that could grow on me after a while, but for now I'll stand by my present list. Definitely a song for the tattoo culture, eh?<br /><br />Alex-- The older tunes are the ones that are ingrained in my memories the most. I could blog on and on about movies and music, but I'm going to have to go in another direction as well.<br /><br />Diana -- Thanks. One of my daughters got married last December and one of her cousins sang "At Last" as a special tribute during the reception. It is a lovely song.<br /><br />Dez!!! -- I'm shocked. I'm sure you must have heard those great Gershwin classics sometime in your life. And the Beatles and Stones songs!! "God Only Knows" and "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" have been used in many movie soundtracks. Listen to the songs--I'm sure you'll remember them.Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-34907479670369875772010-06-28T07:50:18.465-07:002010-06-28T07:50:18.465-07:00I must admit that Lionel Richie's song is the ...I must admit that Lionel Richie's song is the only one I've heard from both of your lists, but I like love songs with great lyrics and simple melodies.
