Hmmm.
American Pie. But not the crappy Madonna version. Just the real, 9-minute-long one.
More Than This - Bryan Ferry
Here With Me - Dido
all i can think of right now.
Into the Mystic–Van Morrison
Wonderful Tonight–Eric Clapton
I Can’t make You Love Me–Bonnie Raitt
and laugh if you will (and I know you will) the most romantic song to me for my entire life is
Silhouette–Kenny G
but a piece of music that never fails to send thrills up and down my spine, the most exquisite, evocative piece of music I have or probably ever will hear in my life:
George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue
Absolutely nothing like it on earth… Perfection. The world would be diminished in its absence. Gershwin shall live forever in the pantheon of the musical gods for this alone.
Did I mention I like it?
stoid
Cat’s Cradle, by Harry Chapin.
And a ton of songs that I heard in the 70s and 80s. I still crank the car volume almost to the max when they come on the radio.
whoever said the true American Pie, I salute you.
Smells Like Teen Spirit - Nirvana
Sad Song - Oasis
The Masterplan - Oasis
Freebird - Lyrnyrd Skynyrd
Champagne Supernova - Oasis
Stairway to Heaven - Eric Clapton
I’ll second Rhapsody in Blue.
O Holy Night never fails to rip the guts out of me.
Move On- Sondheim as sung by Bernadette Peters, I can’t hear this song without crying.
Sympathy for the Devil- Rolling Stones, my absolute favourite song by them.
Soon It’s Gonna Rain- from The Fantastiks
Bridge of Troubled Water- Simon & Garfunkel
I’m sure there’s more, but I’m drawing a blank.
We’re talking about songs you can listen to and never tire of, right?
‘I Feel Free’ --Cream
‘From the Beginning’ --ELP
‘Help Me’ --Joni Mitchell
‘Passing Thru Air’ --Kate Bush
That’s just off the top of my head.
I’ll stick with two from George Harrison:
“If Not for You”, from when I fell in love for the first time; and
“Handle with Care” (with the Wilburys), from when I fell in love for the last time. 
Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton
In My Life - Beatles
Imagine - John Lennon
Take My Breath Away - Berlin
When a man loves a women - Percy Sledge
Paint It Black - The Rolling Stones
Pictures of You - The Cure
? - Toad the Wet Sprocket (can’t remember the name and don’t feel like digging out my cd)
One by One - INXS (great song, makes me feel like stripping my clothes off one by one)
Also, there’s this song by New Order (or maybe it was Joy Division) that goes “…oh you’ve got green eyes, oh you’ve got blue eyes, oh you’ve got gray eyes, and I’ve never met anyone quite like you before…” that I will always equate with dancing around in the sand, sun shining, waves crashing on shore.
Leaving on a Jetplane
American Pie (not Madonna’s version)
Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day
Home by Deep Blue Something
On My Own from Les Mis
Sweet Home, Alabama
Jessica by the Allman Brothers
when I read struuters “Passing thru Air”…exquisite.
Troy - Sinead O’Connor
Cantara - Dead Can Dance
Un Bel Di - Puccini (Madama Butterfly)
I also have to agree with Rhapsody in Blue and (the real) American Pie.
Good God Man! That is really weird. I opened this thread with that song in mind, thinking I would catch some serious flack for it.
Anyways, here’s another vote for “Dance With Me” by Orleans.
Hanging by a Moment - Lifehouse (Fiance declared it our song, I concur)
Last Kiss - Pearl Jam (Original by Johnny and the Rockets. Because I’ve been there with a friend.)
Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve Pipe (Because this song forces you to feel pain and replace it with love.)
All I Want is You - U2 (Perfect Balance + Emotion= Musical Excellence)
There are more, but these will suffice for now.
-SS
Song to the Siren - This Mortal Coil (written by Tim Buckley)
Liz Frasers voice and, dear god, I get teary just reading the lyrics…
I don’t believe in love-Queensryche
“Drive”, The Cars
“Better be Home Soon”, Crowded House
“Barely Breathing”, Duncan Sheik
“Building a Mystery”, Sarah MacLachlan
“In Your Eyes”, Peter Gabriel
“I Don’t Like Mondays”, Boomtown Rats
(live at Wembley Stadium, 1985)
This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) - Talking Heads
Buy You A Ring - Huffamoose
Sometimes I Still Feel The Bruise - Trembling Blue Stars
For You I Will Pretend - Farmer Not So John
Far, Far Away - Wilco
Come On Come On - Emmylou Harris
Anthem - Leonard Cohen
Those, and about three thousand more. Fifteen of which I’ll remember after hitting Submit.
