I’m in a long distance relationship right now(Boston to Minneapolis long)and my girlfriend and i are often telling each other that we heard a song that made us think of each other. So i decided to compile a bunch of these songs onto a tape and send them out to her. I have a pretty good list already but i was wondering what songs make you think of your significant other-from personal inside joke type songs to the more generic.
Eric Clapton - Wondeful tonight
Jim Croce- Have to say I love you in a song
Percy sledge- when a man loves a woman
Crash test dummies- the mmm mm mmm mm song
Faith Hill-The way you love me
Garth Brooks-Unanswered prayers
Jewel- you were meant for me
Those are some of mine any type of music works, so tell me, what songs make you think of her… or him.
Another LDR here, and my boyfriend and I do the same thing with the taped songs. A few we’ve included recently (it’s a little country-heavy because we listen to country and alt.rock, and country just has more love songs):
Sara Evans – No Place That Far
Lonestar – Amazed
Metallica – Nothing Else Matters**
Kenny Chesney – Me And You
Ricochet – Connected At The Heart
Savage Garden – Crash And Burn
Paul Brandt – That’s The Truth, and the song that goes “Baby I will I can I am I have… I do” (I think the title is I Do)
** Neither one of us knows whether this is actually a love song, but our interpretation of it is that as far as we are concerned, it is. “Never opened myself this way…Trust I seek and I find in you, every day for us something new…”
When You Say Nothing At All - Alison Krause. Or that other guy.
I Cross My Heart - George Strait
If I Didn’t Have You - Randy Travis
How Your Love Makes Me Feel - Diamond Rio
The Rose - anyone who’s recorded it
I Never Knew Love - Doug Stone
If Tomorrow Never Comes - Garth Brooks
I Do - Paul Brandt
