“Is love the essence of life…”This is one topic, very skeptical of writing because, I do like lot of love songs, but I am really not sure, whether I would be able to
present it. But let me put an effort and see whether I have succeeded in giving you my favorite love songs.
Though as of now ;-) single, but If I get a girl then definitely sing this song for her, somewhere sitting near the fire place all alone.
The story so far…(Imaginary Okay) NOTE: All the characters in the story are fictional, any resemblance if found in real life, then I can’t help it. If any questions regarding the character, I can be contacted. This is a story of a guy called Asyis and his love of his life Ankita. Asyis is waiting for Ankita in a coffee pub in Ooty(I don’t want to be Yash Chopra) and he has something to tell her, but he is not sure how he is going to tell her the magic word. Its 5.00pm in the evening, it’s a chill atmosphere and he is sitting outside in a table and is carrying a bouquet of flowers and with a ring in his hand. It’s now 5.15 and she has not arrived and I am loosing my patience, then something happens and he could see, a beautiful angel wearing a light blue salwar kameez, with her hair blowing in the soft chilled wind, her every step forward is making me nervous and I remembers only one song, at that time….
Watching every motion in my foolish lover’s game /
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say
Take my breath away
Take my breath away My number one song, which I can sing in the middle of the night, it’s the song from the movie Top Gun, sung by Berlin. I have watched Top Gun at least 10 times only for this song.
1. Take My Breath Away - Berlin She comes near me and sits with her nice smile, making me more nervous, but after gaining lot of confidence, I remove the colorful bouquet and I present it to her. She is surprised, but she knows, that I mean a lot to her. She looks at me continuously and then, she wants to say, but she is also not able to say anything. But I know that she wants to say and it reminds me of the song, which I sing for her….
“It’s amazing how you speak right to my heart
With out saying a word you could light up the dark
Try as i may i could never explain
What i hear when i don’t say a thing
The smile on your face let me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes saying you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hands says you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me wherever i fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all That’s right, she blushes when I sing this song for her in front of the few customers in the Coffee pub and she can’t stop smiling, that’s enough for me, because the
Smile on her face let me know that she needs me….
2. Ronan Keating – When you say nothing at all… After that song, she asks me whether it is really love or something else, because she has never fallen in love and she really don’t know what is love and I couldn’t stop my self telling her, that only thing I can think of as of now is only her, but she say’s that she is really confused and whether she is ready for it, but I am trying to convince her but she is really not sure, then I can remember of only one song…
”What is love , Baby don’t hurt me , Don’t hurt me ,no more
Baby don’t hurt me ,Don’t hurt me ,no more ,What is love ,Yeah
Oh I don’t know ,why you’re not fair ,I give you my love ,but you don’t care
So what is right ,and what is wrong ,gimme a sign
uoh oh... Oh I don’t know what can I do , what else can I say , it’s up to you
I know we’re one , just me and you ,I can’t go on…. “ 3. Haddaway – What is love…,, Yes, this song by haddaway, makes, her feel that how much I care for her and, how much I want her in my life…She starts getting emotional and tears start coming out of her eyes, which I couldn’t stop my self, hence move my hands towards her chin and lift her, face, still tears are coming out of her eyes, when I couldn’t stop myself singing her this song….
“ Look into my eyes - you will see / What you mean to me /Search your heart - search your soul /And when you find me there you’ll search no more
Don’t tell me it’s not worth tryin’ for /You can’t tell me it’s not worth dyin’ for /You know it’s true
Everything I do - I do it for you
Look into my heart - you will find / There’s nothin’ there to hide /Take me as I am - take my life
I would give it all - I would sacrifice
Don’t tell me it’s not worth fightin’ for / I can’t help it - there’s nothin’ I want more /Ya know it’s true
Everything I do - I do it for you…” 4. Bryan Adams – Everything I do – I do it for you… This song definitely makes her heart feel more for me, and I can see the wide smile, which takes me to the seventh heaven, where I would want to be all alone with her.
Then start’s the journey of talk, where she talks and I listen and listen and she talks, we keep on talking and we really don’t know what the time is, and we have already finished some 5 cups of coffee and 5 glass of juice it’s around 8.00pm and we really don’t know how we have spent the time. She really feels the love and surprisingly she sings the song for me in front of the near empty coffee pub
“There’s a calm surrender to the rush of day / When the heat of a rolling wind can be turned away /An enchanted moment, and it sees me through / It’s enough for this restless warrior just to be with you / And can you feel the love tonight / It is where we are /
It’s enough for this wide-eyed wanderer /That we got this far /And can you feel the love tonight / How it’s laid to rest / It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds /Believe the very best 5. Elton John – Can you feel the love tonight…Asyis, had just one thing to tell Ankita…
”You make me feel a better Man…”Then both of them leave the pub and what happened next you can email me, I would tell you the story…
But there are some other songs, which definitely needs a mention, if I had got more space then would have included them in my story but I would cut it short.
6. Phil Collins – Its Groovy Kind of love… 7. George Benson – Nothing Gonna Change my Love for you… 8. MLTR – Paint My Love… 9. Boyzone – Picture of You 10. Bryan Adams – Please Forgive me… 11. Police – Every breath you take…The story is totally imaginative, I could have put lot of spice, but I wanted a good ending with no bloodshed and no crying….This is not my story, but love to have such a sweet story :-) in my life.
