I guess this emotion called love itself is described by so many people in so many ways that you wonder sometimes what this is all about. Before I start off on the actual review itself, let me put down some thoughts on the different facets of love.
[Forgive me for making the review a lengthy one as usual, but do have some patience and read on.]
Is it love -?
I just saw 2 teenagers sitting at a restaurant,
Holding their hands,
Staring into each others’ eyes,
Lost in their dreams like there is no tomorrow,
Oblivious to the world around them,
Someone just shook me and asked, “Hey, is this love?”
To which I said, “I wish I knew.”
As I walked further,
I saw a young woman
Who looked tired with hopelessness writ large on her face,
Dressed in rags and hardly able to cover herself,
Yet I saw her clutching her baby to her heart
And stroke her head gently and give her the sweetest smiles one could have ever seen.
Someone just shook me and asked, “Hey, is this love?”
To which I said, “I wish I knew.”
As I continued further,
I saw an elderly man standing at the bus station,
Looking lustfully at the girl who just passed by,
Someone just shook me and asked, “Hey, is this love?”
To which I said, “I wish I knew.”
As I went on my journey,
I just saw a soldier, bidding farewell to his loved ones
Ready to sacrifice his everything for his country.
Someone just shook me and asked, “Hey, is this love?”
To which I said, “I wish I knew.”
I will list my all-time favorite ones. Again, they are not listed in any particular order, so enjoy these lovely melodies and have a blast!
I guess the list of romantic songs will never end. What makes them special is their ability to transform you to a different world, to make you believe in this feeling called “love, ” and make you want to be loved.
The desperation of love…
Anything you want me to do. Stevie Wonder
…I want you
I never needed you so bad
Why do you feel like making me so sad
Girl I'll do whatever you want me to
I'll do what you want me to do
I'll do anything that you want me to
Love's the thing thats made us happy,
Love's the thing thats made us sad,
If we dont get back together,
We might lose our romance
Might not get a second chance.
If you are madly in love……….
Please forgive me – Bryan Adams
It still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss and
It's gettin' better baby
No one can better this
I'm still hold on and you're still the one
The first time our eyes met it's the same feelin' I get
Only feels much stronger and I wanna love ya longer
You still turn the fire on…….
Fear of separation.

The Minute You’re Gone
The minute you're gone I cry
The minute you're gone I die
Before you walk out of sight
I'm like a child all alone at night
I stare into emptiness
I'm filled with such loneliness
The world goes from right to wrong
The minute you're gone
The minute you're gone
I see
How lonely a man I'll be
My life would be oh so blue
If I couldn't be with you …
A complete lovey-dovey song with great lyrics and an equally captivating, soothing voice I love to listen to before drifting off to sleep….
Love me for who I am.
The Actor – MLTR
He takes you out and he takes you up
'cause he can show you so much
I go to bed and tomorrow again
there's a lot of work to be done
He gives you gold and he'll promise you
the whole world will be yours
I just can tell you I love you so
even though my odds are low
…….I’m not an actor I'm not a star
and I don't even have my own car
But I'm hoping so much you’ll stay
that you will love me anyway
And finally if you have lost your love.
… Unbreak my heart [Toni Braxton]
Don't leave me in all this pain
Don't leave me out in the rain
Come back and bring back my smile
Come and take these tears away
I need your arms to hold me now
The nights are so unkind
Bring back those nights when I held you beside me
(chorus)
Un-break my heart
Say you'll love me again
Un-do this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked outta my life
Un-cry these tears
I cried so many nights
Un-break my heart, my heart
I love the lyrics and Braxton's mesmerizing pain in her voice .
