The song that best describes your love life

If you’d asked me a month ago I’d have probably said, Eleanor Rigby. (Though I’d never heard it before this, I’m also fond of FlightlessBird’s selection upthread.)

However, I did this thread last month, and find that the suggestion I got in there can’t be topped:

The Intermission track from Christine Lavin’s Live at the Cactus Cafe album.

There is something powerfully appropriate about a track where there’s just some muted sounds of people shuffling chairs.
:smack:

I’m not Thick as a Brick, thank you very much. :smiley:

and that was a gutter, as I recall

Si

The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn’t)

I always fall for the ones that are unavailable … the latest one is an international student who goes back to France in August, and its not feasible to follow her.

c’est l’amour, c’est le guerre, c’est la vie…

On a historical basis (including all relationships)? Alanis Morisette. Not the Doctor. Not that I like the song, mind you; I kinda don’t. But it fits.

On a right-now basis? Hüsker Dü, Could You Be The One?. Except not in a depressing way. Or Dido’s Here With Me, which is a special kind of ironic. But not bad.

Dang. That one gets to me as well.

I Fooled Around and Fell in Love.

It’s been sounding more and more like this recently: how to fight loneliness with wilco

“Lonely,
I’m Mr. Lonely,
I’ve got nobody,
to call my own…”

Awesome. Great song, and I get where yer coming from.

“I’m In Love With My Car” by Queen.

Hey, at least my car’s not annoying.

The Stroke by Billy Squire :frowning:

Eveyones got to learn Sometime by the Korgis.

Cheesy though it be ours is I got You Babe By Sonny & Cher (among others but that’s the only one I’m willing to share :wink:

I’ve always been partial to Elton John’s “The One”:

We both thought we were doomed to a life alone . . . until we found each other. SO this song gets me every time.

With my recent ex-girlfriend, I’d say Living in Sin by Bon Jovi. Her hardcore baptist family didn’t appreciate her dating an agnostic man.

Now, I’m going to say Cold by Crossfade.

I really like this thread. At various points in my life, I would say these two in the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical, “The Phantom of the Opera.” They are “The Music of the Night”

And “All I Ask of You.”

And then David Bowie’s theme to Cat People. http://music.yahoo.com/David-Bowie/Cat-People/lyrics/7412190#lyricstop

However, there are many, many others. But these three dominate certain themes in my life. :slight_smile:

‘Lime-Tree Arbour’ by Nick Cave…

Or, for more cynical moments, there’s ‘When You Are Old and Grey’ by Tom Lehrer:

Well after more then 30 years, this is kind of our theme - the fire is still there but in a different way now. I couldn’t imagine life without her.
