Greatest love song of all-time

Make your argument as to why your pick is the best.

 

God Only Knows by the Beach Boys:

 

Nobody harmonizes like the Beach Boys, and it's a lot more realistic than most. It's not overly gushy, but is still an acknowledgement of life changing love, with just a hint of sadness.

They play slow songs at weddings? I'm always one of the crotchety old men complaining about the music at weddings. I considered Unchained Melody, but I think it's a little too uncertain about the relationship.

Unchained Melody FTW!

It's my favorite song of all time. You can feel every note. And it's timeless.

 

But if we're going for most realistic song about love, I'm going with It's Only Make Believe. It's been recorded a million times by a million different people, but nothing gut punches you like Conway Twitty's original 1958 recording.

He stopped loving her today- George Jones

Great song. The only song mentioned in this thread that I don't care for is Spam's, but I don't care for reggae, even Marley.

Perfect Day by Lou Reed. Yeah its a love song to Heroin, but I think it still qualifies. It's a perfect song too.

 

In my Life - The Beatles. This song can bring me to tears, happy tears. Such a genuine and insightful take on love and past lovers. I like this song a lot. I mean, check these lyrics (I suppose they can read a little saccharine, but how John delivers them is super honest and the instrumentation is perfect) out:

 

There are places I'll remember

All my life, though some have changed

Some forever, not for better

Some have gone, and some remain

All these places had their moments

With lovers and friends, I still can recall

Some are dead, and some are living

In my life, I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers

There is no one compares with you

And these memories lose their meaning

When I think of love as something new

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life, I'll love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection

For people and things that went before

I know I'll often stop and think about them

In my life I'll love you more

In my life I'll love you more

Definitely one of the very best Beatles song and a candidate for their best.
