Hm. I'd have to say "Haunted" by Sinéad O'Connor and Shane MacGowan or "Beautiful" by Patrick Nuo :D
Love you guys!!
Great Songs! I, like Jake, am also a little confused by valentines day. I don't get the idea of it. There is no valentines day, like, event or anything. it's confusing... Good luck at the show tonight! :)
Wow, someone put a song from Last Five Years! That's awesome!
I love that musical with a passion and that song is amazing. Def. one of the best love songs I've ever heard.
omg seriously...?!? i can't listen to the songs b/c "it doesnt play in my country"
oh well. nice choices of songs :)
i dont know all of those artists, but i'll look them up :) thanks for the song ideas.
happy valentines day!
Aww... I love Freddy's choice of 'The Luckiest'! That was the song my sister and her hubby first danced to at their wedding. Such a sweet song!
Not surprised that the Avett Brothers were on the list but c'mon guys, no Duncan Sheik? ;)
['Home' is a personal fave of mine.]
Irene, that's so weird that Guam would block playlist.com...mebbe it's a code issue. Can you see and click the playlist when you go to its direct url? http://www.playlist.com/playlist/19213391371
Tammy, that's so cool! Thanks for sharing. And yes, it goes without saying that Duncan is one of our favorites!
Shell, I'm not familiar with Patrick Nuo--thanks for the rec!
I'm glad She & Him was mentioned. One of my favorites has to be Green Eyes by Coldplay. I was kind of surprised no one mentioned them. They have sooo many amazing love songs.
Hawksley!!! Woot wooooot!!
I love Sarah's choice. That song played during my friend's proposal to his now wife. My friend proposed on top of a bluff looking over the Pacific Palisades beach here in California. The best part of the proposal - he had all of our friends and her family, on the beach standing by where he spelt "Marry Me?" in candles on the beach. Kinda funny as the wind kept blowing them out throughout the time we waited. He said right when he got on one knee and had her look over the bluff, she could see her brother and the rest of us running back and forth trying to keep the candles lit since we couldn't see them above us in the dark.
I love Krista's choices! "If It Kills Me" is one of my favorite songs. =]
I love Kayla and Steffi's choices. Boats and Birds by Gregory and the Hawk has been one of my favorite songs for years and years. I actually chose that song to be played during my slow dances at my 18th birthday party.
My favorite songs have to be Sea of Love by Cat Power, These Arms by Matt Costa, and Say Yes by Elliott Smith.
My favourite love songs are "Collide" by Howie Day (especially the acoustic version) and "I'll Stand By You" by The Pretenders. Another favourite is "Bed of Roses" by Bon Jovi and "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith.
no it doesnt work. it says its a licensing issue or sumtin...but its ok. there are a lot of websites that are like that too. its cuz guam isn't always considered part of the USA. but i looked up the songs on youtube and they're really good picks :D
hey pun,
i've been trying to get sheet music for Word Of Your Body Reprise, but i cant find it anywhere, and it's not in the spring awakening songbook. is there any way i can get a hold of the score for that song? thanks
Props to Kayla Foster because She & Him is an amazing band and doesn't get recognized too often. :)
Jake! Hope our Valentine made your Valentine's Day better! You are an incredible singer and performer and definitely made my Valentine's day a lot better!!!
Hope this Valentine's day was better than past ones!!!
=)
Jackie and Claire
I'm so excited that the Avett Brothers made some of your lists.. They are absolutely fantastic! They sing from the soul.. Every word.
Irene, I know it's a pain the reprise wasn't included. I don't know of anywhere you can get it officially, but perhaps this guy might: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2NV8SxEP1Q
Thanks for all the recommendations, guys!
