Post what you believe is the best love song across decades ever sung. Think epic . . .
 
that one in La Traviata where Violetta sings "amami Alfredo". or what about Celine Dion where she sings "i finished crying in the instant that you left", i love that one.
 
Celine Dion is good, and she's sung some amazing love songs such as Power of Love. However, I'm still partial to Etta James "At Last". But I'm sure another outstanding song will come to mind later to make me question this choice.
 
Tina Turner "Simply The Best"

U2 "With Or Without You"
"Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses"

Coldplay "The Scientist"
"Yellow"
 
[MENTION=1814]invisible[/MENTION] - such good ones. I especially love Whitney's "I will always love you" which is definitely epic, and "Unchained Melody" hits it right out of the park. So, yep. So many to choose from. :m153:
 
Although it's more somber, I also like Bill Withers "Ain't No Sunshine".
 
[MENTION=1669]Gist[/MENTION] i think Unchained Melody is my favourite ever. i like the sense of longing and devotion. apparently it was originally written about imprisonment (i always mistakenly assumed it was postwar). i read that there have been hundreds of recordings of it. i dont think ive heard that many of them but the recording by Heart is pretty cool. but i think it would be impossible to beat Bobby Hatfield's performance. the tone of his voice is so pure and his vocal range is so natural.
 
there are some superb unconventional ones on Arcade Fire's album "Funeral" - "Neighborhood 1: Tunnels" and "Crown of Love"
 
Foreigner - I want to know what love is . . . .

I grew up listening to Herb Alpert music being played all over our house. Dad put speakers up in all the rooms and outside the garage so we could hear what Mom wanted to play. Thankfully she had great taste.

I love this song. If you haven't heard it yet, take a listen.

(It's as if she wrote the song for me and my s.o. Exactly how it was for us. <3. And today is our 10th anniversary! :) )
