Love songs and the times in your life when you listen to them

[November Rain]

Does anyone actually listen to love songs when they are in love or making love...

for most part i get the impression that people listen to them when they are on their own and feeling kinda upset about unrequited love or a nasty breakup etc...


do love songs actually provide any other use than to perhaps make people cling on to the memories of a relationship that perhaps had run its natural course or were never really destined to esculate any further via divine intervention or circumstances out of one's control.


Is this a common notion or am i out on my with this means of thinking?

thoughts welcome and appreciated.

Um.....never been in love.

I was totally inspired by the song "Everybody's Fool" by Evanescence to make a music video about celebrities and how films and songs give people the wrong idea about life. I know that when I was a kid, I watched these films and listened to the words of long songs, and totally believed that one day I would grow up and be in love like they are in the films.
In reality, love can be an extremely hurtful and isolated thing. Unrequieted love for example. There should be more things teaching us about that!

[JokerNick]

"Ez Cuz You're Beautiful" was a song I listened to when I first met my current GF..... now it sounds sappy..... it's all hard rock for me now...

[November Rain]

Um.....never been in love.so does that mean you have lots of love songs or that you don't have any????

[Ronny Shade]

so does that mean you have lots of love songs or that you don't have any????
Depends what kind of mood I'm in. I'm a prince fan, so that's like 29385679385629836598267349812673948169876 love songs right there. But I also listen to mysoginistic rap music.

having chick flicks with unhappy endings would somehow be counter productive and just wouldn't make a dent in the market.

only sadists like myself would get into them and purchase tickets...

LOL, you would have to be the cheeziest dog on Erf, to actually be "makin' Love" while listening to Peabo Bryson and s***. LOL

"I knOw I'll NE-ver, LOVE this way aGAin..."


Also, more amusing Human stupidity, the people who hear this song that has all the trappings of a romantic song, but the lyrics are about the very opposite....like the white trash who grab their fat wives and get all sensitive when they hear "Every move you make, every breath you take, I'LL BE WATCHING you!"

or that :

What did you think
I would at this moment?
When you're standing before me
With tears in your eyes?
Trying to tell me that you -
You found you another,
And you just don't love me no more.


:confused: Dolts think that's so "romantic". Hahahaha

[The Chairman]

Like Ronny, I've never been in love. I generally listen to love songs whenever I feel like listening to one.

If I had a jet pack I wouldn't need love

[November Rain]

Like Ronny, I've never been in love. I generally listen to love songs whenever I feel like listening to one.perhaps love is too strong to use in this case but you get the general idea.

infatuated, lusting after etc...

not necesarrily love

[Ronny Shade]

I've never described myself as any of those things either.

My heart and devotion are reserved for Jesus H. Christ

I generaly avoid love songs, for reasons. They kind of make me depressed..

[Ronny Shade]

you're :doom: ed
I was kidding about the Jesus thing

[Ronny Shade]

You're always depressed.

Except today you seem unusually chipper

I remember, after a show, I hooked up with this fuhREAK with a lot of genital piercings and a tattoo of a bat on her forehead.
So we're gettin' it awn and I slyly grip the remote, push play and:

"Sometimes when we touch...
The honesty's too much..."

I always find it strange how something so small and maningless can get associated with someone for life like a song or a smell or a film, piece of furniture, advert on the telly. All small things that the brain makes an association with someone with.

We even refer to it when someone dies 'what's the one thing you wish to be remembered for and all that jazz'

I can understand in the past when loved songs were played in clubs and they still all had that final dance part at the end of the night when people slow danced but it doesn't happen anymore so how someone can get an association with another via a love song is beyond me.

I mean do people still give each other love songs as presents for valentine's day or what not.

i've been in situations where i've been with people and they put certain tracks on and i associate those tracks (if i can remember them to the time and experience). One of them was that 'she will be loved one' which was a terrible song, i remembe my face when it came on, funny.

yet you still here all these stars who are well renouned for their love songs getting told by older fans that they first made love, or conceived their children to those tracks (how anyone can perform in 3.30 is beyond me :confused:

so this then leaves two gates open. either listening while in love or listening at the end when it all goes pair shaped. i guess it depends on the calibur of the love song because obciously some are accessible to both notions while some are purely reseved for the bitter break up or tragic fatality option that resides at the end of a relationship.

what usually happens for me personally is that nice songs that remind me of the person are listened to (not necessarily love ones and not all the time) during the time when it's all dandy and then the ol love songs come out when it's all gone cack. But for every cack up that i actually care about comes another track, one can't reuse old stuff since everyone is different, so ti's not like a generic song even though the processing of emotions may all go through similar stages.

unfortunately all it seems to do is add clutter to a record collection since i feel quite silly listening to some of those tracks again once recovery is done and to think i went through a bad patch could be somewhat embarassing, especially with the older or briefer encounters.

the funny thing is that i spend a loto of my time listening to break up music (the anti love song) when i'm quite happy being single and for no other reasons. perhaps it's my subconcious trying to reassure myself that i am indeed fine with that status and perhaps trying to warn me of what would occur if i moved from the status quo (at that given time).

interesting, perhaps not. but it's worth a post i suppose.

There are many love songs that remind me of my love life. I actually feel like crying when I listen to some of them and I feel stupid. But there is one song that actually describes my love life...well in a certain way...I'm talking about "Nothing Else Matters" - Metallica.

Oh god. This reminds me of the time I was at this christian camp thing for a couple of days, they made you sings songs and dance. They would play random catchy pop love songs and replace the effection of desire with "god" or "jesus"
I wanted to barf. Then smear it all over the walls, and roll around it in, acting possesed, just so somebody would drive me out of that place.

[SpideyInATree]

Yes, I get into the mood to hear love songs when I'm with a lady.

Though everytime I hear that Smashing Pumpkins song "Today" it automatically reminds me of when I lost my virginity...considering that's the song that was playing when I lost it.

So, thanks Smashing Pumpkins. And thank you Ashley, my ex-girlfriend for putting out that day. :up:

[Colossal Spoons]

"Back At One" simply b/c it's fantastic.

[tzarinna]

Hmmm,I was a fool in love once and this was the song I related to us.

Sara McLaughlin Lyrics - In the Arms of the Angel Lyrics

Spend all your time waiting for that second chance. For a break that will make it okay there's always some reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day .I need some distraction .Oh beautiful release memories seek from my veins and may be empty oh weightless and maybe I will find some peace tonight in the arms of the angel fly away from here from this star cold hotel room and the endlessness that you feel you are pulled from the racket of your silent reverie your in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here . So tired of the straight line and every where you turn and there's vultures and theives at your back the storm keeps on twisting keep on building the lies that you make up for all that you lack it don't make no difference you escape them one last time it is easier to believe then this sweet madness oh there's glory or sadness that brings me to my knees in the arms of the angel fly away from here from this star cold hotel room and the endlessness that you feel you are pulled from the racket of your silent reverie your in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here.You in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here.

He thought he was so macho :mad: but this song would always **** with his head.

[The Last Meatbag]

Whenever I get that feeling of

"oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, she touched my shoulder......a hot girl touched my shoulder............she wants me :O"
I listen to 'em

Yeah, its sad.......but it happens often :(

[Clerk]

I listen to Only- by NIN just to remind myself that I am the badass and she only exists to burrow me some sausages. :cmad:
