Rocking w/ a soft spot.

[Ragged Glory]

This is all about those songs that kick a$s, yet could/would also make you tear up &/or feel emotional. I'm not talking about just songs with love in the title, but if they got a positive, eccentric, intense, emotional feeling to them then that's just what the doctor ordered. The songs don't have to be "soft rock" but they DO have to passionately rock with some emotion. My examples here should give you a few ideas. List up to 25 songs...



1. "Alone" by Heart.

2. "Angel's Son" by Sevendust.

3. "Cryin'" by Aerosmith.

4. "Desperado" by Eagles.

5. "Forever" by Kiss.

6. "Give To Live" by Sammy Hagar.

7. "God Gave Rock 'N' Roll To You II" by Kiss.

8. "Heaven" by Bryan Adams.

9. "Home Sweet Home" by Motley Crue.

10. "I'll Be There For You" by Bon Jovi.

11. "I'll Stand By You" by Pretenders.

12. "I Remember You" by Skid Row.

13. "I Wish It Would Rain Down" by Phil Collins.

14. "Love Walks In" by Van Halen.

15. "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinead O'Connor.

16. "November Rain" by Guns 'N' Roses.

17. "Old Man" by Neil Young.

18. "One" by U2.

19. "Second Chance" by 38 Special.

20. "Silent Lucidity" by Queensryche.

21. "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger.

22. "Something To Believe In" by Poison.

23. "Stand By Me" by John Lennon.

24. "When It's Love" by Van Halen.

25. "Wild Horses" by Rolling Stones.

Well... I think i got the message, i can think about five songs on the subject, right now:


Nirvana - love buzz

Shadows of knight - i'm gonna make you mine

Romancers - love's the thing

Beach boys - wouldn't it be nice

Doors - light my fire


(Could i have posted the videos, or is it meant to just tell the song titles?)

 

[Tray73]

I'll do five too, and add more later

California Dreaming - The Mamas & The Papas




Nights In White Satin - The Moody Blues





Have You Ever Seen The Rain - Creedence Clearwater Revival




Still Loving You - Scorpions




In My Life - The Beatles

Here's the first song that comes to my mind, the ultimate "power ballad" imo. Totally makes me tear up with its depressing story and it obviously rocks hard. Pantera -- Cemetery Gates



And on the other side of the aisle, here's a song that has such a sweet rock 'n roll swagger to it, but its lyrics are... god, pretty depressing. Ani Difranco -- Letter to a John

I'll post one of my favorite Blue Oyster Cult songs, off Specters.

I Love The Night.



Oh and nice to see your footprints in the forum again Ragged Glory.

The videos aren't necessary, but I kinda question some of your choices on this subject, no offense. Does the Nirvana song "Love Buzz" really make you tear up or feel really emotional at times, perhaps when you're feeling down? Maybe you thought that this thread was supposed to be about songs mainly with love in the title(s), right? Well, "Love Buzz" is more so a heavy track that's sloppy(in a good way), aggressive & with lyrics that most likely wouldn't get anyone in an emotional temper. That's kinda what it's about here, not love.

Have You Ever Seen The Rain - Creedence Clearwater Revival




Still Loving You - Scorpions

I had the Scorpions on my mind too, but didn't feel that it fit this thread as well as my other 25 did.

It's been such a long while. This forum's been on my mind, yet I just haven't been able to get on the internet much lately, as I've been busy & more focused on a few other important endeavors. I hope to keep it up here more often.

Oh yeah, I'll also see what other unique thread ideas come to mind here too...lol.

No i didnt thought it was necessarily about songs with "love" in the title (only two of the ones i posted are like this), but i think i got it now. Thanx for the reply

^ No problem. I just wanna make things more fun & interesting. I've already seen/made all the love threads needed up until now.
