our Muse of the AOL journals seems to be caught up in the romance of the season, journaling her way to Valentine's Day. she has an intriguing question for us today...can we pin down our favorite love song? she can, and it's a good one. i have no hope of ever picking ONE of anything. so, my list of favorite love songs. a song for all seasons!
Hopeless Love: "Long, Long Time" - Linda Ronstadt
Sentimental Love: "A Case of You" - Joni MItchell did it first and
best, but i also like Diana Krall's version.
Raunchy Kickass Love: "Shut Up and Kiss Me" - Mary C. Carpenter
Love Song to Remind Me of My Youth: "If Not For You" - Bob Dylan
Classic Love Song: "So In Love" - Ella Fitzgerald
(this one's the Real Deal - hard to pick the best Cole Porter
lovesong)

Joni... I love everything she's done. My absolute favorite of all time! Great choices.
Sigh, wonderful songs. "A Case of You" is one of those dreamy songs that float in your head for a while after you've heard it. And "So In Love", who can sing Porter better than Ella?
My two favorite Classics: Lorenz Hart 's and Richard Rodger's "Isn't It Romantic?" Hart's lyrics, like Cole Porter's, have a bittersweet tang when describing romance. The other? The wonderful World War II ballad: "A Nightengale Sang in Barkley Square." Ah, "That certain night -- the night we met -- there was magic abroad in the air / There were angels dining at the Ritz -- and a nightengale sang in Barkley Square." No one writes lyrics like THAT anymore. More's the pity!
