Nothing moves the heart quite like someone singing a song written by someone else about someone they love.
On this Saint Valentine's Day, won't you share your favorite love song?
Or perhaps you aren't the love song sort. That's OK... At Ricochet we value diversity of opinion. So please feel free to share that song that makes you want to scratch your eyeballs out with a butter knife.

Re: The Tunes That Make You Swoon
Proof that a great song works in any genre. It's been covered by everybody from Patsy Cline and Willie Nelson to Ella Fitzgerald and Frank Sinatra.

'These foolish things' by Ella takes some beating but Stacey Kent singing I wish I were in Love again sung as It should be sung is a delight.. Good ol' Larry Hart..
The furtive sigh - the blackened eye
The words: "I love you - 'til the day I die"
The self deception - that believes the lie
I wish I were in love again

Re: The Tunes That Make You Swoon
When it comes to love songs I prefer Frank Sinatra. Specifically, "I've Got You Under My Skin", "The Days of Wine and Roses", or "The Way You Look Tonight".
A more recent love song I've really liked is "If I Had A Gun" by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds (My favorite album of last year, btw). I know, the title seems a bit odd for a love song but it becomes clear once you hear the first lyric.

Having both gone through tough marriages, and then finding each other later in life, my wife and I danced to Louie Armstrong's Wonderful World at our wedding.
All the best to my buds at Ricochet!
