A friend and I have a radio show, and our theme for next week is songs that make you *sigh and look romantically off in to space... but for the purpas of reading Im just going to say swoon.
Anyway, I could really use some suggestions... for example "drops of jupiter" would be one of these types of songs. what ever your doing you just sort of pause and and feel your heart melt...

I don't know about swooning, but there's one that always makes me cry. It starts with "I see skies of blue, and clouds of white..." and the chorus is "...and I think to myself, 'what a wonderful world'..." Does anyone know what it's called and who sang it?

what a wonderful world. Louis Armstrong. one of the greatest trumpet players to ever come out of america.

Thanks, kyrie !!!!!!!!!!!! You have no idea what you did for me !
I was looking for "Drops of Jupiter", but didn't remember anything but one verse of it, and even that one with so many errors that I couldn't find it on google ! And there it was, out of the blue ! Yey, kyrie !

Pankhaj Udhas: "chand jaisa rang hai tera" - it's a Hindi song, the title means "you look like the moon" and it's beautiful. I'm listening to it now. Another great Hindi song, from a film but I can't remember the film is "So Saal Pehele" - the English version of the lyrics are "A hundred years ago, I was in love with you, I am in love with you today and I will stay in love with you tomorrow." It's a beautiful duet and my aunt and uncle had it as the first dance at their wedding.
I'll second the David Gray, Louis Armstrong, Faith Hill, Billie Myers and Belinda Carlisle choices.
There are a couple of John Denver ones that ridiculously do it for me: My Sweet Lady and Leaving on a Jet Plane.
Head over Feet by Alanis Morrisette. At My Most Beautiful by REM.

Yup, "What a Wonderful World" will do it every time, but for 2 reasons. My mom used to be involved with a great man, who dressed up as Santa at Christmas and went to children's hospitals and sang Al Jolson and Louis Armstrong renditions. Every time I hear that song, I cry because he was one of the good who died young (54). I was watching "Good Morning, Vietnam" with my ex-husband, who spent two tours in SE Asia, and when that song played, with all the irony of that story, we sat there like to babies, crying out eyes out for our own reasons. Funny, the husband is no longer in the picture, but I still cry when I hear that song, for both of us.
Okay, but on the more romantic side, what about John Denver's "For You" for swooning? It's okay to think John Denver was cool, even in the 90's. "For you alone, only for you." Whoa. If someone sings that to you and means it, it's a match made in Heaven.
Have a wonderful evening everyone.

Such a gorgeous song.
Posted by DocCoyote (Member # 5612) on :
Well, we took it a little far. Our son, Matthew, is named for the John Denver song. I think there are probably a few dozen of his songs that cause swooning.
He was even more amazing in the later stages of his career. We were part of the Windstar folks right around the time of his death, and it was really cool to go online and chat with him on the odd occasion when he was checking in on the chat. I cried my eyes out when he died, because I was in NJ visiting family when it happened, and none of my siblings understood the connection for us, while the rest of the family was glued to the TV. watching every development.
Oh yeah, then there's the part of family history in which the real actual Doc (my man) provided the building materials to build the Denver house in Aspen. A tenuous but comfortable link for us.

Marc Cohn "I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You"
The title doesn't sound like it, but if you listen to the words, it is great! I found it on the Prince and Me soundtrack. In fact, most of the songs off of that CD make me sigh, but that could be because it just makes me think of the movie and how it made me mad that I didn't have a super cute prince to come and marry me...

Live Version of Possession, off "Mirrorball"-- Greatest. Bass line. Ever.
I don't know if it counts as a swoon, but I freeze for a moment and get chills on "Precious Things" when Tori Amos does that little breath thing.
"Crash Into Me" - Dave Matthews Band
"Heads, Carolina" - Jo Dee Messina. Have no idea why on this one, but it does, as does "She's in Love (with the Boy)" buy Trisha Yearwood.
Edit: Forgot "Hallelujah" by Rufus Wainwright or Jeff Buckley. Both versions are great songs.

I'll second the Annie's Song
Also, Springsteen's Secret Garden - it just pricks at my tear glands. It's the only song of his I can't find on iTunes, though.
And as cliché as it may be, I'll have to say U2's With or Without You, especially the live version from Rattle and Hum where you get that extra interlude "We'll shine like stars in the summer night / we'll shine like stars in the winter / one heart / one hope / one love"
Let's see... what else?
Savage Garden - Crash and Burn Annie Lennox - Into the West U2 - Love is Blindness Khaled - Aïcha Cheb Mami - Ana Oualache Shakira - Pienso en Ti (totally acapella - very haunting) ...and just because it's one of those songs that tugs at some very old heartstrings - the steel guitar introduction to On the Verge by Collin Raye can bring me to tears.

The song that always makes me cry is the slow version of DJ Slammy's Heaven. The techno version was the first song Bernard and I danced to (at PC).
3 Doors Down's Here Without You and the ending credits song(s) for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon make me swoon, too.
The one that gets me every time, though, is Enya's Miss Claire Remembers. That piano part is just so haunting.

I can just say "everything that raia said" plus I must agree to Unchained Melody. Oh and Add "Memory" from cats on but minus the lyrics, when we play it at orchestra concerts.
"The Dance" is very good, but because we always have a dance the last night at 4-H camp, and the last two years as a councilor the guys I danced with during that song have both died, it makes me cry.

The Promise Ring - A picture postcard
come on any song with THESE lyrics you cannot deny:
If I put my hands to your stomach, or put my lips to your hand...Take me home, keep your eyes on the road. So don't forget to kiss me if you're really going to leave. Couldn't you take the second bus home? Couldn't you just take me with you?

Three absolute killers!! Ella Fitzgerald,"Someone to Watch over Me" Absolutely wonderful. On the Best of the Gershwin Songbook album.
Art Garfunkel, "I Only Have Eyes For You" A slow, achingly beautiful version. She will MELT! On the Best of Art Garfunkel album.
Oleta Adams, "I Knew You When" You'll cry. On the Moving On album

Achingly beautiful?

quote:don't forget Jawbreaker's sluttering. and accident prone. maybe not swoon worthy but damn good
Ben, I thought that the angst and bitterness of Sluttering (May 4th) was a little on the negative side of love. That being said, it is one of the best pieces of music ever. The palm muting is incredible, the word play that Blake employs in lines like:
quote:I'd saw through your wrist to find a better trap that fits. I'd saw through your traps to find a better you. A part of you that lasts.
I saw through your trap and into my own wrists. Saw we were through, red ribbons spill to blue: a sight to sore your eyes.
Just amazing.
As for Accident Prone, again is an amazing song with dense layers of guitars and great lyrics, it is more on the failure of the relationship.
I must comment that reading your posts has lead me to believe that you have some good taste in music.

The Descendents - Cheer, Silly Girl, We, Good Good Things, Get the Time, I'm The One, I Won't Let Me, She Loves Me

Tracy Chapman: The Promise. I've only just realised how swoon-worthy this song is... oh but it is...
Posted by kyrie (Member # 6415) on :
Wow.
So many songs... so much swooning... Thank you so much, sorry i did not post very many responces but it has been a crazy week.
Not only have you all insured that the radio show will be great, but you have introdused me to new artists that I intend to follow up on thank you!
I have about twice as much music as Im going to need, but better too much then not enough!
Some one asked what kind of radio station i worked at. It is a community station, so nether school or commerial. The station is: WFHB 98.1 or 91.3 FM And for those who care to lisen, it's from 5-6:30 Saterday. I believe you can lisen to it online too.
Something Different's "Songs That Make You Go Sigh... (or swoon)" show is bound to go well.
Once again thank you very much for all of the wonderful sugestions. Posted by Danzig (Member # 4704) on :

Iced Earth - I Died For You ELO - Do Ya Blue Oyster Cult - Burning For You Kansas - Hold On (even though it is not a love song)

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight
*embarrased to admit* Standing Outside the Fire - Garth Brooks - I think it's this one but it could be another one of his - the fiddle/ violin solo really gets me all fluttery inside.

Oh, and if it hasn't been mentioned yet: "Take my breath away" The ORIGINAL one. The bass in that song is just.... *swoons*

The Real Slim Shady by Eminem.
Okay really.
I second Damien Rice, but I'd say Blower's Daughter over Cannonball. And Coldplay, The Scientist.

don't ask why, but this piece of orchestral music from canada's GY!BE makes my mind wander back to all of my previous relationships with a sense of longing...for better or for worse.
