Yeah. I play the guitar and keys. I know a few.
I'll make this short. These are 5 of the best love songs I play(on whatever instruments I play). No introductions. am going straight to the tracks:
#5: Always on my mind - the Elvis Presley version
It isnt exactly a positive love song as it sounds more like an apology and a take me back sort of song. But the song is beautiful so it finds its place in here. Pet Shop Boys covered the song and did a real good synth laden version of this song.
#4: And I love her - Beatles
Bright are the stars that shine
Dark is the sky
I know this love of mine
Will never die
And I love her
The lyrics are plain and straightforward. The song is simple and true. It works.
#3: Play Me
She was morning and I was night time
I one day woke up to find her lying beside my bed
I softly said. come Take Me.
the God of mush. Mr. N. Diamond. wrote this sweet song. heres the chorus
you are the sun I am the moon
you are the words I am the tune
play me.
#2: Father Figure - George Michael from the album Faith
I was a huge George Michael fan in the 80s. I still am. Because the man is very very talented. His record Faith showcases his immense talents. It churned out 6 number 1 hits - Faith, Father Figure, One More Try being some of them.
Father Figure is a beautiful beautiful song. The transition between the chords and the lyrics are beautiful. My favourite lines in this song:
If you are the desert I'll be the sea
If you ever hunger, hunger for me
Whatever you ask for thats what I'll be
shucks. wheres that wretched guitar.
#1: Hawkmoon 269 - U2 from the album Rattle and Hum
The hairs on my hand stand up each time I play this song. Its one of U2s best and most underrated songs. I've played this song atleast a thousand times and I vow to play it till I die.
I'm going to type the lyrics in here. better still, I'll copy and paste from some site(talk about being lazy)
Hawkmoon 269 - by U2
Like a desert needs rain
Like a town needs a name
I need your love.
Like a drifter needs a room
Hawkmoon
I need your love.
I need your love.
Like a rhythm unbroken
Like drums in the night
Like sweet soul music
Like sunlight
I need your love.
Like coming home
And you don't know where you've been
Like black coffee
Like nicotine
I need your love,
I need your love.
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
I need your love.
Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree
Like the sweet revenge
Of a bitter enemy
I need your love.
Like heat needs the sun
Like honey on her tongue
Like the muzzle of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love,
I need your love.
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
I need your love.
Like thunder needs rain
Like a preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a sweet stain
Need your love
I need your love.
Like a needle needs a vein
Like someone to blame
Like a thought unchained
Like a runaway train
Need your love,
I need your love.
Need your love
I need your love.
Like faith needs a doubt
Like a freeway out
Need your love.
Like powder needs a spark
Like lies need the dark
I need your love.
Viva U2! Bono and gang rule.
Hope you enjoyed the pick of five. Please listen to Hawkmoon 269. Its a request!
Will someone tell me where I tossed my guitars.
