Favorite romantic/slow song
 

I have a few but right now the songs I can think of are:

You and Me by Lifehouse
burn by Usher

Today's crap just sucks. They all compel me to throw myself onto oncoming traffic.

My favorites:

Tender Love -- Force MDs
You are my Lady -- Freddie Jackson
I'll Be -- Edwin McCain
Bed of Roses -- Bon Jovi
You're the Inspiration -- Chicago
Your Song -- Elton John
All My Life -- K-ci & Jojo

And my ultimate fav...Sade's By Your Side. Memories of sleeping in on rainy mornings and good good lovin'. *sigh*

Re: Favorite romantic/slow song
 

You and Me is one of my personal favs right now. So, good choice :)


Drive - The Cars
I'll Stand By You - The Pretenders *God, I wish I could find a man to dance to that one*

also from the past - Angel and I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing - Aerosmith.

my favorite song right now is...

"come a little closer" by dierks bentley!

anyone know it?

i'll go a little closer to him!! hehe


**dances a slow dance by herself**

If "You and Me" is the one that goes You and me ....collide than definitely sign me up for that being one of them


"at last"

"wonderful tongiht"

anything by Luther Vandross!

there are a lot of good ones!

I agree.. "At Last" and "Wonderful Tonight"

"Have I Told You Lately" by Van Morrison (WAAAAAAAY Better than Rod Stewarts version)

there are SO many.

My fiance and I are dancing our first dance (at our wedding :p ) to "You re My Home" by Billy Joel

(sorry.. my apostrophe does not seem to want to work tonight...)

STEVIE WONDER - "Ribbon In The Sky" lyrics

Oh so long for this night I've prayed
That a star would guide you my way
To share with me this special day
Where a ribbon's in the sky for our love

If allowed, may I touch your hand,
And if pleased, may I once again
So that you too will understand
There's a ribbon in the sky for our love.

This is not a coincidence,
And far more than a lucky chance
But what is that was always meant
Is a ribbon in the sky for our love.

Love, we can't lose with God on our side.
We'll find strength in each tear we cry.
From now on it will be you and I
And a ribbon in the sky, ribbon in the sky,
A ribbon in the sky for our love.

There's a ribbon in the sky for our love.

Good one!

I love slow songs, but here are two favorites:

My favorite is probably "Fools Rush In" by Elvis Presley.

Another good one is "When I Fall in Love" by Nat King Cole and Natalie Cole.

I have a lot but my newest favorites is Blake Shelton's "don't go Lovin on nobody but me"

Here are the lyrics of the first part of the song:

Don't waste your time lookin' over your shoulder
Those loves from the past ain't a'gettin' no closer
When I look in my future, you're all I can see
So honey, don't go lovin' on nobody but me

Chorus

Nobody but me gonna love ya like you ought to be loved on
Nobody but me gonna cry if you up and leave
Now you can do what you want to
But I'm askin' pretty please
Honey, don't go lovin' on nobody but me

"Words So Leisured" by Franz Ferdinand

If you were a guy, I think I'd be in love!! At Last and Wonderful Tonight are two of my favorite slow songs - along with most of Nat King Cole!!

Bit of Trivia: Something, Layla, and Wonderful Tonight were all written for the same woman - Patti Boyd Harrison Clapton. There's one more, I just can't remember it right now. She must be one special lady!!

Billy Joel- The Way You Are
Phantom of the Opera- All I Ask of You
Andrea Boccelli- Con Te Partiro/I Will Go With You (English Version sung by Donna Summer)
Brian Adams- Everything I Do (I Do it for You)

Keith Sweat - Twisted
Rome - I Belong To You
LL Cool J - Hey Lover
Usher - Simple Things

Total hijack, but I just wanted to brag for my Little and say that she totally kissed the bass player from Lifehouse and he calls her all the time! I do have the coolest little ever!

[hijack]
I knew that there was at least one more song written for Patti Boyd Harrison Clapton, in fact, there's a total of SEVEN!

-For You Blue by The Beatles
-It's All Too Much by The Beatles
-Layla - Derek And The Dominoes
-She's Waiting - Eric Clapton
-Something - The Beatles
-Why Does Love Got To Be So Sad - Derek And The Dominoes
-Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton

I wonder if anyone else has inspired so many songs by different people?
[/hijack]

Some of these aren't super-slow, but they're not fast.


Beach Boys "God Only Knows"
Jack Johnson "Better Together"
Etta James "At Last"
basically anything by Ella Fitzgerald ("Misty" & "Isn't It Romantic?" being favorites)
Solomon Burke "Cry to Me"
the Drifters "Some Kind of Wonderful"
Otis Redding "These Arms of Mine"
Cary Brothers "Blue Eyes"
Greg Tannen "It's You"
John Mayer "St. Patrick's Day"
Josh Ritter "Kathleen"
Elvis Presley "Fools Rush In"
Mason Jennings "Ballad for My One True Love," "California," "Sorry Signs on Cash Machines" and "Darkness Between the Fireflies"
the Weakerthans "My Favorite Chords"
the Get-Up Kids "I'll Catch You"
the Postal Service "Be Still My Heart"

and to completely ruin my credibility, Mr. Big "The One Who Wants to Be With You." haha.

my favorite slow song right now is:

"Naked" by Marques Houston

and two of my other favorites are:

"One In A Million" by Aaliyah
"Nice N Slow" by Usher

Dude.

Lil Bow Wow.

whatever the name of his song is in which he talks really fast and goes....like you.



that kid is my hero and I want to be just like him. Just call me Lil Ruff Ruff

Only if she keeps sleeping with musicians. Sorry to meow.

Anyway, I'm going to add some that no one else has mentioned because they're obscure.

Down in the Seine - the Style Council
I'm In Love - Francis Dunnery
I'm Weak For You - Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes

"Looking Back on Today" by the Ataris
"She's Got a Way" by Billy Joel
that freakin "Forever Young" song on the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack...ha.

The best 'slow song' in history is Louis Armstrong, "I Get Ideas"

The most hilarious entry on this list so far is H's "I'll Catch You" by the Get Up Kids - you weren't born in the years 1980-1986 until you've had a cheesy moment involving that song, simply fantastic.
