Blue eyes blazing, and he's going to be my wife."

Post by: A.M. Thomas on November 19, 2008, 08:55:44 PM: What constitutes a love song? And what constitutes non-traditional?

Vaselines - Monsterpussy
Mag Fields - Meaningless
Leonard Cohen - Winter Lady

Pretty much all Leonard Cohen songs are non-traditional love songs to me.

Post by: Kim Kelly on November 21, 2008, 04:11:27 PM: This thread inspired me to listen to Nick Cave's lecture on love songs. If I can be serious for a minute, "Into My Arms" is a gorgeous song. I don't believe in an interventionist god either, but it's undeniably great.
