I recently noticed that a lot of the songs I listen to are quite moving sad songs, such as Jeff Buckley's "Last Goodbye" (possibly the saddest song in the known universe), Dire Straits "Romeo and Juliet", Tracy Chapman's "The Promise", which isn't actually that sad lyrically but still has a sad aura to it... etc...
Of course I do have happy songs, but they're just.. happy shiny pop-ish songs, they don't feel sincere.
anyway..what do you think? Do you know any good, non-cheesy love songs that aren't tear-jerkers.. or at least, are so in a good way?
this means no Elton John or Celine Dion stuff (except for exceptional cases).
One such moving love song that I do know of is Flames by VAST. At the moment I'd have to say it's one of the best love songs out there. To quote one of the comments on songmeanings.net:
"This is one of the most sincere tributes to love. Not the everyday love song that calls anything love. This song talks about something that I think is worthy or truly being called love. The music is wonderful."
Apologies if someone has already done this topic. I couldn't find it at any rate..
