*The heart has its own reasons, of which reason knows nothing.
~Pascal*
=====================================================
Has the world lost its meaning, people have no sense of loyalty, honor and together ness. The birds seem to wail, the sun seems to bleed fire, the moon went cold with grief? You must be heart broken and you badly need a song. Heartbreak much as it may hurt makes you feel above the rest of the world. After all it is only one life and if you’ve got a heart you gotta have a heart break too.
Something stupid - Frank and Nancy Sinatra
The best genre of love songs are the songs of heartbreak and this one reeks of pain.
The time is right your perfume fills my head, the stars get red
And oh the night’s so blue
And then I go and spoil it all, by saying something stupid
Like:'i love you'
Bang Bang - Nancy Sinatra
A song which narrates the entire lifecycle of love and the pain soaked voice of Nancy Sinatra is all set to make your heartbeat stop and would leave a hollow within you the moment it fades out.
He shot me down –bang bang
I fall to ground- bang bang
That awful sound- bang bang
My baby shot me down
-
This morning did you wake up smiling to yourself? Does the day look bright and you feel like dancing. You must be in love and you badly need a song.
Strangers in the night - Frank Sinatra
Certainly not one of Sinatra’s best but the song had me in its grips. The best part is that dooby-dooby-doo coda during the fade-out.
Strangers in the night exchanging glances,
Wondering in the night what were the chances,
We’d be sharing love, before the night was through
Theme for a dream - Cliff Richard
Cliff is at his best when he sings a love song and this one will make you win hugs and kisses from your sweetheart.

If there are senses there is no escape from sensuality and this emotions touches perfection when one is in love. A touch, a glance, a smile, anything and everything about your mate is a turn on. How could you do without a song?
Insatiable - Darren Hayes
Sensuous, melodious and …and….and….Ah! You all know what it is like, just listen to it one more time.
We build our church above this street
We practice love between these sheets
The candy sweetness scent of you
It bathes my skin I'm stained by you
Fever – Ray Charles and Natalie Cole
Another number which is sensuous in its own peculiar ways is taken from one of the last album of Ray Charles, Genius Loves Company. Listen to it only for the Ray Charles part of it.

The time has come to bid goodbye, you are ready to walk away but if it isn’t love if it let you go just like that. Its synonymous with pain in its various forms and this pain reaches its acme at the time to separation. Though we can’t do much to help but we have a song just for you.
Close your eyes - Westlife
Gift it to your beloved a night before you leave and then go see her you would never forget that farewell.
If you wanna know
Tomorrow morning I have to leave, But wherever I may be
Best believe I'm thinking of you, I can't believe how much I love
All we have is here tonight, We don't want to waste this time
Give me something to remember, Baby put your lips on mine
And I'll love you forever

As Jerry Maguire said ‘We live in a cynical world, a cynical world. And we work in a business of tough competitors.’ And in this cynical world, at the end of the day if you could find refuge in a pair of arms which belongs to the one you love, you must sing this:
Hey Julie – Fountain of Wayne
How did it come to be, That you and I must be
Far away from each other every day?
Why must I spend my time, Filling up my mind
With facts and figures that never add up anyway?
They never add up anyway
Julie, I swear, it's so hard to bear it
And I'd never make it through with out you around
No, I'd never make it through with out you around
Peace
~Jai
