Valentines day

Recommended Posts

Working on a playlist myself. Not for a CD as she did me one for xmas and I don't want to seem like I'm nicking her idea. 57 songs on it so far. <_<

 

Try these:

Paolo Nutini - Loving You

Damien Rice - The Blower's Daughter

Eagle Eye Cherry - Falling In Love Again

Sixpence None The Richer - Kiss Me

 

I also included Enrique Iglesias - Hero as it's pretty much our song. I won't be singing it this time though. :D

 

 

It’s great to know that I can always count on you Brock to draw the attention away when I set myself up to be shat on. ;)

 

 

;)

 

At least I haven't put Lady in fucking Red on it. :D

Seriously mate Brock's suggestions are a lot less laughable than yours. ;)

Lady in Red? ;):D :D :(

 

Seriously??!?? <_<

 

Are you trying to serenade her or put her to sleep? :nufc:

 

 

Well, I don't want to put her to sleep that's for sure....! :nufc:I think its a canny song. ;)

Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes - (I've Had) the Time of My Life

Chris de Burgh - Lady in Red

Lionel Richie And Diana Ross - Endless Love

Phil Collins - A Groovy Kind of Love

 

Personally can't stand any of the above, but then that's just my opinion <_<

 

Why don't you have a look on Amazon at all the compilation lovey-dovey CD's and see if there are any tracks that you want to add on? If you want a personal recommondation for something then I think one of the beeyootifullest love songs ever is "She" by Elvis Costello.

 

If you want something a bit different Billy, try "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds....

Tbf to Boyo I don't think I could fall asleep if Lady in Red was playing.

 

It's hard to fall asleep when crushing your CD player to dust in a furious rage.

Cracking thread. <_<

 

I'd make some recommendations but a corresponding CD for me and the fella would be all country music and wrist-slitting Eastern European Eurovision, so I doubt it'd help you much. ;) If you're looking for more mainstream stuff though, something like Leann Rimes's "On The Side Of Angels" or Shania Twain's "You're Still The One" are nice and warm without being too nauseating. The latter is more suited for a couple who've been together for years and years though, so if it's not been all that long you might want to leave it off for fear of freaking her out completely. ;)

I made one for my own girl a few weeks ago but it's probably not entirely appropriate, since it was made specifically for the situation at hand, which isn't ideal.

 

I don't personally believe in making generic mixes. If possible the songs should be specific to you and the situation. ie, Lady in Red would be apt if she's ever worn a red dress and danced with you. Otherwise it's just another song.

It's know it's all commercial shite, but its only one day and your only buying for one person so its not all bad. :D I guess it all depends on the couple's tastes, but certainly it seems the majority like to make a night of it. ;)

 

 

Anyhoo, swiftly moving on! I'm trying to be a little creative this time around and have put together a CD, amongst other little gifts.

 

Here's my track list so far. :(

 

Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes - (I've Had) the Time of My Life

Chris de Burgh - Lady in Red

Joe Cocker - You Are So Beautiful

Lionel Richie And Diana Ross - Endless Love

Phil Collins - A Groovy Kind of Love

Aerosmith - I Don't Want to Miss a Thing

Bryan Adams - Please Forgive Me

Bruce Springsteen - Secret Garden

Robbie Williams - Feel

Elton John - Your Song

Eric Clapton (Cream) - Wonderful Tonight

 

:D

 

 

I think I've done pretty well, but would like to add more to it so was wondering if you lot have perhaps a song in mind I've missed out that should be there? I have missed out songs like Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers & Between The Sheets by the Isley Brothers as, well.....they are a bit too soppy for our tastes. <_<

 

I love the idea of compiling special songs for your lady, but honestly, that medley would have me slashing my wrists and begging for mercy ;) Theyre so dated, cant you find some more up to date love songs?

Billy's track list is only missing Boris Gardner's "I wanna wake up with you" and Elton John's "Nikita" and the fromage factor will be complete. <_<

 

I was expecting 'Oh L'amour,' 'Love to Hate You,' and 'Victim of Love' from you, personally. ;)
