Which romantic songs do you like?

This one is one of my favorites. Barbra Streisand's "The way we were". The film, with the same title, awakened my activist side when I was 16. The film isn't bad, it's just slightly critical of the years during the cold war in the USA. The only flaw in the film is the insipid Robert Redford.

This song touches me, it reminds me of a friend of mine from that time and how happy I was despite the difficult times of adolescence. And Barbra Streisand has a beautiful voice.


 
A beautiful Austrian song that makes me emotional almost every time i'm listening to it.

Die Hollerstauden - Du bist für mi Hoamat (english: You are home to me)

[Intro]
With you
Only with you
Only with you
Only with you, am I home
mmhmmhmmhmmhmmh

[Verse 1]
You are my home for me
I feel safe with you
You're like my home to me
With you I forget all my worries
I can be myself with you
With you I am really me
With you I can laugh and cry
Because I know I belong to you

[Chorus]
You are home to me
You are home to me
Home is just where the heart is
I feel at home with you

[Verse 2]
Will you always wait for me
Will you wait for me back home
Will you always be there for me
Without you I feel lost
Leave a little light on for me
Don't close your heart for me
Let it always shine for me
Because with you there I find my peace

[Chorus]
You are home to me
You are home to me
Home is just where the heart is
I feel at home with you

[Outro]
mmhmmhmmhmmhmmhmmh
I feel at home with you
 
For me it it has to be Buddy Holly and True Love Ways.

[Verse 1]
Love hurts, love scars
Love wounds and mars
Any heart, not tough
Nor strong enough
To take a lot of pain
Take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud
Holds a lot of rain

[Chorus]
Love hurts
Love hurts

[Verse 2]
I'm young, I know
But even so
I know a thing or two
I've learned from you
I've really learned a lot
Really learned a lot
Love is like a stove
It burns you when it's hot

[Chorus]
Love hurts
Love hurts

[Bridge]
Some fools rave of happiness
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves I guess
But they're not foolin' me

[Refrain]
I know it isn't true
Know it isn't trueThere are two versions, the first recorded with the Crickets (
Love is just a lie
Made to make you blue

[Chorus]
Love hurts
Love hurts
Love hurts


There are two versions, an original withthe Crickets

and a later one, on his own, recorded with an orchestra

Enjoy.
 
The Mexican rejoices in the loss and composes songs, poems, novels. The next song is about someone whose beloved is marrying someone else.


José José
Adios Princesa
(Farewell, farewell princess)

I've never seen you so beautiful, I swear it.
How many people there are, love, you're happy
I understand that you forgot to invite me
How funny, you as a bride, me without you
I'll have to learn to be without many things
Without your kisses, without your laughter, without your smell
Without your body, like a runaway foal
Galloping so many nights of love
Farewell, farewell princess
I hope you have done your best
And have what I have given you so much
Love, love and love
Farewell, farewell princess
May the whole world roll for you
I hope you don't have to remember
Never, never, never of me
I've never liked you so much, I swear it
What a triumph there is in your eyes, it shows
What a pity I can't congratulate you!
What would you say, and in white, it's a sight to see
Surely when the big moment comes
When you're asked the question and you say "yes".
It'll be like you've never seen me before
Oh, my friend, this is seeing to live
Goodbye, goodbye princess
I hope you've done your best
And got what I've given you so much
Love, love and love
Goodbye, goodbye princess
May the whole world roll for you
I hope you don't have to remember
Never, never, never of me
Farewell, farewell princess
I hope you've done your best
And have what I've given you so much
Love, love and love
 
The little house ( La casita)

Where, friend, do I come from?
From a little house that I have below the wheat field
From a small house
For a pretty woman who wanted to accompany me

She has some vines in front of her
Where the cicadas sing and the sun turns to dust
There is a portal in the front,
In the garden a fountain,
In the fountain a snail.

They are covered with ivy,
And there is a jasmine in the garden that the fences have already covered,
In the doorway a hammock, in the corral a cow,
And inside my dog and I,

Under a bouquet that covers her, the Virgin of Guadalupe,
She is in the room when you enter,
She takes care of me if I sleep, she watches over me if I'm sick,
And she helps me harvest.

Further inside is the bed, smelling of broom,
And clean like you,
I also have a canary, a mirror and a closet,
That at the fair I bought

Well, with everything and it's pretty,
My little house is very cool, I feel when I see it I don't know what,
I got it into my head that there is a lot of sadness there,
I think because you are missing.
 
I'm afraid I'm one of those who thinks unless a song breaks my heart, its not truly romantic! The space between, sprung by potential, fraught with loss.
You might want to listen to this.

I'm jealous of the rain
That falls upon your skin
It's closer than my hands have been
I'm jealous of the rain
I'm jealous of the wind
That ripples through your clothes
It's closer than your shadow
Oh, I'm jealous of the wind, cause
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
I'm jealous of the nights
That I don't spend with you
I'm wondering who you lay next to
Oh, I'm jealous of the nights
I'm jealous of the love
Love that was in here
Gone for someone else to share
Oh, I'm jealous of the love, cause
I wished you the best of
All this world could give
And I told you when you left me
There's nothing to forgive
But I always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was
Heartbreak and misery
It's hard for me to say, I'm jealous of the way
You're happy without me
As I sink in the sand
Watch you slip through my hands
Oh, as I die here another day
Cause all I do is cry behind this smile


This is one of my favorite classic love song.

If I had to live my life without you near me
The days would all be empty
The nights would seem so long
With you I see forever, oh, so clearly
I might have been in love before
But it never felt this strong
Our dreams are young and we both know
They'll take us where we want to go
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
The world may change my whole life through
But nothing's gonna change my love for you
If the road ahead is not so easy
Our love will lead the way for us
Like a guiding star
I'll be there for you if you should need me
You don't have to change a thing
I love you just the way you are
So come with me and share the view
I'll help you see forever too
Hold me now, touch me now
I don't want to live without you
Nothing's gonna change my love for you
You oughta know by now how much I love you
One thing you can be sure of
I'll never ask for more than your love
 
I love Francis Cabrel. His songs are beautiful. This one he wrote about his wife.

I've rediscovered the movie Dirty Dancing during this holiday season. The last time I saw it was at least 25 years ago. I didn't remember much of it except a few key scenes. The whole movie is a work of art and dedication from all crew members who went through a lot of hardship before, during, and after filming. Eleanor Bergstein who wrote the movie, which is based on her life, chose the songs first, put them in a specific order, then wrote the story while listening to those songs. That's why the whole movie soundtrack is so good.

My favorite piano song. At the time, I didn't know how to read music sheets and I learned to play it all by ear. Once I started taking piano classes, we went over the sheets with my teacher and there was almost no mistake. I had even picked up notes that were on the CD but were not written the same.

Another timeless love story. I always wanted to learn how to play this one but I couldn't find the sheets that were exactly like this recording. I finally found them last year! This movie makes me cry every time I see it...
