Title: songs about unrequited love
Post by: Flannel Boy on June 22, 2013, 06:10:15 PM
I'd call Fit Girl a man-eater--but. . . .

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H5yOfRG-RE
But you are what you love
And not what loves you back
That's why I'm here on your doorstep
Pleading for you to take me back

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPkTGm4RtVM
Daylight spent the night without you
But I've been dreamin' 'bout the lovin' you do
I won't be as angry 'bout the hell you put me through

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUiTQvT0W_0

It's been so lonely without you here Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong

The song is absolutely, heart wrenchingly appropriate to the subject at hand.

The fact that the fan made youtube video is a tribute to gay couples is just what makes it 'bore appropriate.

When I try, or make some sort of attempt, I symp
Damn I wish I wasn't such a wimp!
'Cause then I would let you know that I love you so
And if I was your man then I would be true
The only lying I would do is in the bed with you
Then I signed sincerely the one who loves you dearly, PS love me tender
The letter came back three days later: Return to Sender
Damn

Oh shit, can't believe this hasn't been posted in one form or another.  I know this is going to sound like sacrilege to all 1 of you out there who are Joy Division fans, but I actually like Dave Gahan's voice better than Ian Curtis', so you're getting this version because fuck you

Pretty much half of 69 love songs is this stuff. At least 20 songs of pining and/or one-sided love that will kill you post breakup or just in general:

I used to be horribly in love with this punk rock girl and I would loop On My Own from Les Mis to really bring out my feels.

depends; if you are in good spirits and driving around in your car on a warm summer day? All of it.

If you are totally bummed out, alone in your bedroom and all your friends are doing something else? none of it.

When I was into The Smiths it was both simultaneously.  It touched on all of my feelings of loneliness and despair, but often in a way so over the top that I could laugh at myself and get some perspective.

I like Gahan's voice, but I  think Curtis' fits better.

Also, is that really a song about unrequited love?

I like both these versions of this classic Eddy Arnold song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3vKQIDBQHE


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XX_vYXvATA0

You give your hand to me And then you say hello
And I can hardly speak My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell You think you know me well
But you don't know me

No you don't know the one Who dreams of you at night
And longs to kiss your lips Longs to hold you tight
Oh I am just a friend That's all I've ever been
Cause you don't know me

I never knew the art of making love
No my heart aches with love for you
Afraid and shy I let my chance go by
The chance that you might love me too

You give your hand to me And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know The one who loves you so
Well you don't know me

You give your hand to me And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away beside the lucky guy
Oh you will never know The one who loves you so
Cause you don't know me
Oh no you don't know me
OOhh you don't know me

[youtube] I see you've sent my letters back
And my LP records and they're all scratched
I can't see the point in another day
When nobody listens to a word I say
You can call it lack of confidence
But to carry on living doesn't make no sense[youtube]

The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it's not that way
I wasn't born to lose you
I want you, I want you
I want you so bad
Honey, I want you.

Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
Don't. Don't you want me?
You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me

It's much too late find
When you think you've changed your mind
You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry

Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
Don't you want me, baby?
Don't you want me? Oh!
