Hey guys, I'm making a cd for my girlfriend be4 i go away to college, and I wanna make it really good and so far I only have like 5-6 possible songs I wanna put on. Any help? Good love songs that are acoustic or soft is sorta the theme I'm runnin on

what kind of loves songs does she like?
hip hop mixed, rock mixed, or slow dance love songs?

Copeland - Brightest
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyEJ0pVGf20

Copeland - You Have My Attention
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxKwaIlfUHw
Acoustic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjFteNOT7jM

Brand New - The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot (Not really a love song per say, but its slow, soft, dramatic, and moving. I love it.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw52tXiA4NM
Was on one of the Twilight series' play lists, if shes a fan. I know a lot of girls who love Twilight.

Bright Eyes - First Day Of My Life
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwFS69nA-1w

Dashboard Confessional - Hands Down (Acoustic)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyRk8DsWFGc

From First To Last - Emily
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrdfCtrUa44

Taking Back Sunday - Your Own Disaster '04
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBx9zsx5CJE

I'm trying to think how hip hop or rock could possibly be romantic, and failing miserably..

S Club 7 - Never Had a Dream Come True

Well, you see, if you think of rock as in black metal or something like that, you're excused. However, rock has spread out in so many genres that differ so much between each that it isn't so hard to find a rhythm that "suitable" for love songs. As for Hip-Hop, I can't back up any kind of argument since I don't listen to it...

That is true. The vast majority of genres it spawned fall flat though.

Michael Buble's 'Everything'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DScZ42PPIyo You know, to throw her off a little.

But in all seriousness, I support this suggestion:


OHH. I know another good one. It's older, but it will always be a classic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

"The closest thing to heaven"

I Don't Love You Anymore - Bomb The Music Industry
What What (In The Butt) - Samwell
So Common, So Cheap - Blood For Blood
I've Heard It Before - Black Flag
Ain't Like You - Blood For Blood

She'll love it, trust me, I'm an expert.

And you can pretty much put anything from bon jovi in there

When you're done generalizing, there is a type of rock known as "acoustic". It doesn't involve very loud things. It doesn't have high amounts of distortion. In fact, sometimes there aren't amplifiers! Or even electronics at all! I know, insane right? But such a thing does exist.

But seriously.
Oasis - Wonderwall
Boston - More Than a Feeling
Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (!)
Foo Fighters - Everlong (you can grab decent acoustic versions of this)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DctCyO-E3s (rip the MP3 off YouTube )
Tenacious D - Fuck Her Gently (if both of you have the sense of humor for you to get away with it )
Muse - Hysteria
Journey - Faithfully
Lynrd Skynard - Free Bird
Iron Butterfly - Ina Gadda da Vida
Guns N Roses - Sweet Child O Mine (they have other, dirtier stuff too )
Sugarcult - Memory (there is an acoustic version of this, too.)
Plain White Ts - Hey There Delilah (It kills me to add this, but yeah.)
RCHP - Under the Bridge (well, not really a love song.)
Rise Against - Swing Life Away (this one, too.)
The Strokes - Reptilia (actually, they have other stuff, too, but I just picked one song. It's not really acoustic, though. )
Some Billy Joel might work.
Of course, the Beatles.
A lot of Coldplay stuff is good.
How about Hendrix?
And maybe some Radiohead if you're into that. Something like "High and Dry" is nice.
EDIT: I forgot Eagle Eye Cherry - Save Tonight.

That's pretty much all I can pull off the top of my head without getting into heavier stuff.

I think a lot of the stuff I listen to are love songs. Lulz.

THE ONE AND ONLY ULTIMATE LOVE SONG:

I did already concede that to Hobos

hip hop: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhUWRLh-6K0
rock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWXQFDH_uvI

I personally like rock mixed love songs over the traditional love song. I despise hip hop in all forms.

To show how hip you are: You hipster!

Yes... that is a love song. If you don't want to listen to it (I don't blame you) listen to the last minute and 40 seconds, awesome guitar solo.

Or perhaps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dHnkBRvVH4
wayless intense, nevertheless a pretty good song, heh, whatev.
