It's really the only kind.
It's the same way I love romantic movies, ala Audrey Hepburn and the like, and stories of princesses finding their prince charming's in fairy tales. I don't like the angry, quick-paced love songs. I like the ones that are slow, smooth, often broken-hearted but hopeful, and sweet.
One of my dearest friends introduced me to a really good singer, Regina Spektor, and her song "The Call." It's really a gorgeous song, and I've had it running through my head lately. It's definitely a love song, but it's subtle. This song was used in the credits of the first (the newer series) Chronicles of Narnia movie. Here are the lyrics:
It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before
All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye
You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye
Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye
You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye
Isn't it lovely? Here's the YouTube video so you can listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7uoC-YTQy8
Tell me, what's your favorite love song?
