1. I'm Alright (You gotta go there to come back) - The Stereophonics
Ok with lyrics like "I'll take another punch for you. Tie my hands behind my back that way you cannot lose.", I swoon. It's needy, erotic, dependent, tempestuous, everything that young love should be.
2. If I had a Gun - Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds
"Excuse me if I spoke to soon. My eyes have always followed you around the room. Cause you're the only god that I'll ever need.". Melt.
3. Moonriver - Danny Williams
"Two drifters, off to see the world. There's such a lot of world to see. We're after the same rainbows end.". :) The Danny Williams version only!
4. I wonder - Cecil Gant
Yes. Just. Yes.
5. Just in time - Nina Simone
One word: Tears.
So simple, and yet so meaningful - just what love should be like.
7. Something About Us - Daft Punk
"You might not be the right one. It might not be the right time. But there's something about us, I have to say. 'Cause there's something between us anyway."
8. Crash Into Me - Dave Matthews Band
The most erotically charged song without being overtly explicit. Fuck Katy Parry, this is the real teenage dream.
9. Electircal Storm - U2
Sometimes love isn't enough. Also, Samantha Morton is amazing and Larry looks a total god in this.
10. Edge of Glory (Acoustic) - Lady Gaga
She's said to have wrote this song about her grandparents who were married for 60 years. She wrote in when her Grandpa passed away and dedicated it to her Grandma. She also said that they were more in love than ever towards the end. True love does exist.
Somehow, this acoustic version is the only one that does the meaning of the song justice.
And one extra just cause I couldn't leave it out:
11. Stardust - Hoagy Carmichael.
If I had to re-do this list, which I can (but I' too lazy to do right now), I'd actually place this at #1. So poetic, so sweet, so timeless. Ah! Sublime!
