SOME OF THE BEST LOVE SONGS IN THE WORLD

One of the most faithful followers of our blog suggested us publishing a post about love songs in English and we have picked up the gauntlet, that is to say, we have accepted the challenge.

It seemed to be very easy, but it has been the most controversial topic we have dealt with so far. The reasons are quite obvious. Everybody in the department has his/her own favourite love songs and lots of examples come to our minds at every moment.

So, you have here our list. We are sure that we have forgotten many "unforgettable" songs. Help us to remember them. Maybe we can publish a new post with the songs you tell us.

Let´s stop talking! It´s time to listen to the music! Enjoy it!

Fly Me To The Moon

This song written in 1954 was originally known as "In Other Words" and although it has been recorded by many artists over the years, it is most closely associated with Frank Sinatra.

Someone Like You

This popular romantic ballad was written by Northern irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and recorded in his 1987 album, Poetic Champions Compose. Since then, it has become a movie classic that has appeared in films like French Kiss or Bridget Jones´ Diary.

The Way You Look Tonight

This Oscar-winning song in 1936 was originally sung by Fred Astaire in the film "Swing Time". There have been many covers since that moment, some of them by Tony Bennet, Ella Fitzgerald, Rod Stewart or Michael Bublé (the one we include).

Bed of Roses

 Bon Jovi wrote this song in 1993 in a hotel room while suffering from a hangover and the lyrics reflect his feelings at the time. Its power ballad style made it a worldwide hit.

You´re In My Heart

Written and recorded by Rod Stewart in 1977, the song proved a popular single, reaching the top ten of many national charts. The lyrics mention the two Stewart´s favourite football teams: Celtic Glasgow and Manchester United.

I Was Born To Love You

Written by Freddie Mercury in 1985, this song was released as a single and on the Mr. Bad Guy album. It has been on of the greatest hits of Queen.

Too Much Heaven

The Australian band, the Bee Gees, contributed with this song for the "Music for UNICEF" fund in 1979. The song later became a success in many countries around the world.

Love Is All Around

This song was composed and originally performed by The Troggs in 1967. However, it became an international hit when it was sung by the Scottish band Wet Wet Wet for the soundtrack of the 1994 film Four Weddings and a Funeral

Heroes

Written by David Bowie and Brian Eno in 1977, it was a product of Bowie´s fertile "Berlin period". The song tells the story of two lovers who come together in the shadow of the "Wall of Shame". It is one of the greatest Bowie´s hits of all time.

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?

Carole King made a fantastic cover for this song originally performed by The Shirelles in the sixties. It has been recorded by many artists since then, most notably by artists like Bryan Ferry or Amy Winehouse.


And last, but not least, we offer you a recommendation that a friend has made to us.  
 It´s well worth listening to it! It may even be one of the best love songs you can ever listen to!
