Here’s the story: A friend asked me for help picking “romantic” songs. Her friend’s hubby is coming back from a four month deployment and she wanted to give them some mood music. It’s been faaaaar too long for me to give any sort of sound advice on fuck music, so I turn to you for help.
Only two songs popped into my head from fond memories:
Sophie B. Hawkins - Damn I Wish I was Your Lover
Pink Floyd - Money
Sigh.
I was thinking some Lords of Acid too, but I’m really at a loss here.
Red Light Special, by TLC Practice What You Preach, by Barry White Rapture, by Anita Baker (just about the entire album) Come Away With Me, by Norah Jones (same) All I Want Is You, by U2
Didn’t anyone else learn the facts of life from Fast Times at Ridgemont High? Like Mike Damone said, “When it comes to making out, put on side one of Led Zepplin IV.”
Of course, that whole “side one” part is a little obsolete. But the advice is timeless!
Another vote for Barry White, and Ravel’s “Bolero.” Some of the Windham Hill stuff is good. And Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” believe it or not. Ah, the memories…
