A difficult choice.
I don't look to Frank or to music for tributes to love. However, Frank has a way of grabbing one's attention with lyrics/songs about love.
So...what's your fave?
Speedy Marie is the first that comes to mind...

Ah yes, Down to the Well. Hadn't come to mind. I do rather like how he sang "I can hardly wait, baby" and then later subbed "Betty" for "baby." Really added something. I link this phenomenon in my mind now to Jerry Butler and Betty Everett on Let it be Me where Butler did the same thing, if I'm hearing it right. The second time through he subs "Betty" for "baby" in the line, "Mmmmm, without your sweet love, Betty... what would life be?"
And thank you, trobrianders, for your "trim" comment, indicating that the topic might not be radioactive after all. Trim not shave, right? I like your take, "Live and let trim, or not." I concur, but would get a kick out of reading more opinions from a few others, if possible.

Kathryn's a pussycat, pp. And she swoons more than she swoops. You'll see.
I've been thinking about this thread since you started it, K. And I go with the song from my sig, "I'll Be Blue." Love isn't just roses and kisses. It's also absolute heartbreak, which is what this song's about. But I hate the piano-less version the band was playing on tour last fall. Without EDF, it's just another rock song.
 Please pardon me, for these my wrongs. |

Questions about favorite things can stump me, me being perhaps too flighty for the concept. But I picked some songs that others mentioned: Speedy Marie, She's My Way, I Will Run After You, Valentine and Garuda, Places Named After Numbers (black hole, yes). I Will Run After You I liked, but its ruminating quality troubles me a bit. Honeycomb I like quite a lot. Also, I remember floop commenting some time ago on Frank's voice in, um, ah yes, Southbound Bevy, and me thinking, huh... Anyway, that song turned into a love song one day on the streets of New England's largest city when I saw walking with the gray-haired man the elegant one. Matters of timing had doomed us, me and this elegant one, in a different city no less, and now, in a sweaty cross-eyed confusion, Southbound Bevy came to mind, and I thought, "'I stood below a county levy'? And, hmm, that doesn't make a keen amount of sense, which is appropriate, considering... considering nothing does." (I'm writing, "All is lost, all is lost...") And, of course, like Daffy Duck's renowned "pronoun trouble," verb and preposition trouble had victimized me. But I think I tend to hear the most resonant passion in the Pixies' Hey, a song that recently began to sound "classic." Not in the "yeah, dude, that's classic" sense, but in the sense that one might hear Sail On Sailor and Under My Thumb and Hey and not need to say "hey!"
While we're on the topic of romance, just wondering, any guys trim the hair in their pits? If one dates again, you see, one wants to know the shrewdest way to go these days. Of course, one also fears that this kathryn person will swoop in and say, "We discussed personal grooming on this thread here..." And oh, how one fears this swooping! One might say that this swooping is one's second biggest fear behind some Cennobites swooping in and tearing one's soul apart in the "I've seen the future of terror and his name is..." Now, I've forgotten that gentleman's name. Someone remind me. Anyway, gentle, please. That's all I ask.

''I don't want to hurt you''
Especially the bridge, although I don't know what all those words mean,
it's just the rhyming and the rhythm and the emotion that wells up

Me too. It's a bit of a pastiche and an atypical FB song but sung from the heart.

Stupid Me. It's slight but it always gets me. I removed my original post about She's My Way cos I got this sudden feeling that it isn't a love song. Now I don't know. Is it a love song?

I would pick Violet. I love the fact that it's about Violet. It's that real-life love story that makes it so sweet and tender. I just think the two make such an amazing couple and it's so cool that FB/BF is so open about his love for her and she is such a lovely muse.
Anyway, I love the song itself. I love the music and the imagery in the words. I think my favorite FB line is "Halfway between blood and the sky."

I've not really given this a lot of thought but the one that comes to mind instantly is 'I Will Run After You'. It's a gorgeous song, really beautiful.
I also think 'I Love Your Brain' is a good love song. I don't know what is intended but my interpretation of it is that it's the little intricacies of how people's minds work that is attractive. The complexities of people's behaviour is something to love, those imperfections that make someone 'perfect'. Maybe I'm way off, but that's what it means to me.
Also, I like the word 'urbane'.
