Meant for you



As I sit and close my eyes
There's peace in my mind
And I'm hoping that you'll find it too
And these feelings in my heart
I know are meant for you

Meant for you

There is lots of Love

Kelvin has posted Love Albums before - but there are so many beautiful songs - so I'll have a go at some of those that the newspaper I read recommends.

God Only Knows the Beach Boys
Supposedly written in 15 minutes by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher.

I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
Ill make you so sure about it

The Beatles - She Loves You
'one of the most exhilarating examples of pop joy ever recorded'

She said you hurt her so
She almost lost her mind.

But now she said she knows

You're not the hurting kind.


Bridge:

She says she loves you

And you know that can't be bad.

Yes, she loves you

And you know you should be glad. Ooh!


Heroes - David Bowie
love can transcend even the nuclear face-off between Nato and the Warsaw Pact

Hounds of Love - Kate Bush
Love as a prowling source of terror
Its in the trees!
Its coming!


.....
Here I go!
Its coming for me through the trees.

Help me, someone!

Help me, please!


I Got a Woman - Ray Charles
Old style sexism - the woman lives way over time but still knows her place is in the home - the start of soul?

Then he kissed me - The Crystals
He kissed me in a way I've never been kissed before

Protest

Windowsill - Arcade Fire


A Day in the Life of a Tree - Beach Boys

' But now my branches suffer/And my leaves don't offer/Poetry to men of song'

War Pigs - Black Sabbath

'like a Hieronymous Bosch painting come to life. ... pacifism noir.... Birminghams infamous hippie-haters .. close to their flower-powered anti-Vietnam war peers'

And the band played Waltzing Matilda - Eric Bogle


'First Person tale of Gallipoli - a rambler who answers his country's call and returns minus his legs., it skews patriotic fraud like nothing else. Impossible to sit through its seven minutes with dry eyes'

Between The Wars - Billy Bragg

25 years on since the Miners Strike
