Older than dirt and in love, we be.

[Coventina]

4. That's so awesome!!!!

[consider_this]

3. This one captures the spirit of things....

[Coventina]

5. Being friends with your lover is the best way to stay together!!!

[IcyPeas]

6. Phantogram - Fall In Love

[JDC]

8. I figured you'd pop in The Cure Love Song

[Coventina]

11. This is very cool! Thanks for posting it!

[JDC]

A happy little tune.

[Coventina]

[Upthevibe]

51. Mr. Bill....

This is the one for me too. In fact, a friend and I were chatting on the phone the other day about various songs and she said this was her favorite love song. I said it was mine too....

[LiberalLoner]

10. ❤️❤️❤️

[Coventina]

18. Beautiful!

[sheshe2]

15. Bette Midler - The Glory of Love

[Coventina]

19. Divine Miss M!!!

Thanks for posting!

[Clash City Rocker]

16. I don't know if anyone here has heard this love song

I just think it’s beautiful on its simplicity, and I wanted more people to hear it. Here you go.

[Coventina]

23. Thanks for posting! Another new one, very moving!

[Clash City Rocker]

27. Thanks!

Knox was an independent artist from New Zealand who popped up about twenty years ago. This song impacted me, in part, because it’s a love song written to a specific and real person, and it showed a great emotional honesty. Pretty much the same reasons that John Lennon is one of my favorite love singers.

[Coventina]

17. Of course, this thread would be incomplete without ELVIS!

[MustLoveBeagles]

20. K&R

[Coventina]

24. I always liked "Space Age Love Song" more than "I Ran"

But, it seems like I never hear anything other than "I Ran" on the 80s station.

[MustLoveBeagles]

28. I like both

I didn't discover Space Age Love Song until my late teens. It was in a John Hughes movie called Career Opportunities starring a young Jennifer Connelly that came out in 91. It's been ages since I've seen it.

[Upthevibe]

52. MustLoveBeagles

I've always loved Space Age Love Song and yes, I admit it, I love I ran too!

[MustLoveBeagles]

54. My husband is a huge Flock of Seagulls fan to

He never sported that hairstyle though.

[Wawannabe]

21. Fooled around...

https://m.

[Coventina]

25. Who is this? Apologies, I'm not familiar....

[Wawannabe]

35. Original by Elvin Bishop

This cover is Miranda Lambert’s version. Starring lotsa chicks but my fav is Elle King.

[Upthevibe]

53. Wawannabe.....

I love this one too!

[jalan48]

22. The Sunday's "Love"

[Coventina]

26. I *heart* the Sundays!!

[Corgigal]

29. I love this song,

hope not too many stream for DU.

[Coventina]

39. This is the "Say Anything" song, right?

[Corgigal]

49. Yeah,

it’s from the movie. I just remember it from my drives to work, when I lived in Tampa. Always made me happy.

[lpbk2713]

30. One that I'll never grow tired of ...

Just as long as Diana Ross is part of it.

[Coventina]

40. Used to be "THE" wedding song in the 80s!

[Tikki]

31. Love song, eh?...."Lovesong"

Tikki

[Coventina]

41. Love the Cure!

[Upthevibe]

55. Tikki..............

The Cure's Love Song is absolutely one of the best....

[liberaltrucker]

32. My all time favorite love song

[Coventina]

42. Don't hate me for this, but,

the Muppets did a beautiful version of this song!

[liberaltrucker]

43. I'll look it up. Thanks!

[IcyPeas]

33. Bus Stop - the Hollies

[Coventina]

44. This song reminds me of an old job I had back in the day....

This was on regular rotation on the "muzak" channel, and one of the least offensive songs on the loop.
Somehow, I never got tired of hearing it!

[AmyStrange]

34. Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are [Official Video]

-

Last week, it was this one:

But now it's this one:

============

[Coventina]

45. What happened to Bruno Mars? He was all over the place, but seems to have disappeared.

Is he taking a break?

[AmyStrange]

48. I'm not sure...

-

I haven't really been listening to music since a couple years ago.
===========

[Clash City Rocker]

36. Randy Newman - Feels Like Home

This song has been covered by a number of artists, including Chantal Kreviazuk, Bonnie Raitt, and Linda Ronstadt, but my favorite is still Randy’s original version. No one quite gets to the heart like him.

This was the first song my wife and I danced to at our wedding.

[Coventina]

46. Sweet!

What a lovely memory!

[MelissaB]

50. Love, love, love this song.

[flotsam]

37. OK-my turn

[Coventina]

47. I love Chris Isaak. I've always wanted to see him live, but it's never happened.

I hope he goes on tour again, someday, when touring happens again.....

[Upthevibe]

56. flotsam.....

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this song...It's haunting.

[Coventina]

38. REVHO!!!!

Your life is not complete until you see him live!!

[Upthevibe]

57. Here's another good one......

[Coventina]

58. Agree! Thanks for posting!

[IcyPeas]

59. Joni Mitchell - Help Me

[Coventina]

66. Believe it or not, this is one of those songs I've heard all my life,

but never knew the name or the artist!

Thank you for posting!!

[IcyPeas]

60. INXS - Not Enough Time

[Coventina]

67. The last time I saw INXS they didn't do this song, and I was disappointed.

And then, the unthinkable happened.

[3catwoman3]

61. At our wedding, in 1982, we had a musician...

...who sang Annie's Song (John Denver), and The Wedding Song/There Is Love (Noel Paul Stookey) while playing the guitar.

[Coventina]

68. Beautiful!!

[OriginalGeek]

62. It's OK to be old fashioned

[Coventina]

69. I have fond memories of the Muppets covering this song.

[OriginalGeek]

63. It doesn't always work out

but ya get over it

[Coventina]

70. The heart is surprisingly resilient.

[Coventina]

64. I think most of the selections so far are are hetero-normative so....

THE PET SHOP BOYS!!!!

[Coventina]

65. Elvis, again.

As Mojo Nixon said, "ELVIS IS EVERYWHERE!"

[Coventina]

71. The Cars: Bye Bye Love

[Coventina]

72. I know Elvis sang it first, but,

[DFW]

73. You don't get more obscure than this, but I still like it:

You have to be in sort of a sentimental or contemplative mood, I guess

[IcyPeas]

74. Love Can Make You Happy - Mercy
