 Topic: A love prog song
Posted: April 28 2004 at 21:43 |
Imagine you are at your home with your girlfriend, or with your wife celebrating your mother-in-law took an airplane to another country, or any romantic situation... Lights are turned off and the girl decides to hear a love song, but your radio doesn't work, and you must put one of your prog cds (at least one song). Which could be?

"Again" (16:19m) from ARCHIVE is worth for a great party.

 Well, prog would not normally be my music of choice for the task, but ELP's "Still, You Turn Me On" with Lake's fairer-sex-melting voice, should turn her on, and Yes' "And You And I" has a nice sentiment. Genesis' "Cinema Show" is also good.
Anthony Phillips - The Geese and the Ghost is a great choice as an overall album for your nefarious purposes, with the lovely Collins-sung ballad "God, If I Saw Her Now" a sure-fire, romantic mood-maker. Light the candles, and kindle her flame -- a VERY BEAUTIFUL SONG!     
When it comes to loving  though (as opposed to simply gazing into each other's eyes), you can't beat Tangerine Dream. Exit or Underwater Sunlight are good bets. 
Good thread!

Frank Zappa " Love Of My Life " and if that doesn´t do the trick follow it by Zappas " I Ain´t Got No Heart "

I agree about Anthony Phillips. 'God if I saw her now', 'Sistine', 'Boulevard of fallen leaves'... lots of great songs for this purpose.
I also think 'Soon' from The Gates of Delirium would be a wise choose. But being careful not playing anything from before or after this excerpt 
Rick Wakeman's 'Romance of the Victorian Age' is one of his best piano albums, and I, in fact, use it for Romantic purposes...

If only David Surkamp wasn't he vocalist for Pavlov's Dog the band could have made it. When I am feeling romantic towards my wife I throw on Symptom Of the Universe by Black Sabbath or Space Ritual in it's entirety by Hawkwind with the stereo cranked to 11. She always appreciates it when I do this for her.

WHAT ABOUT IF THE RELATIONSHIP GOES WRONG
HOW ABOUT ZAPPAS BROKEN HEARTS ARE FOR A**HOLES?
BIKE BY PINK FLOYD IS A LOVE SONG OF SORTS(IN A STRANGE WAY)
I HAD A FREIND WHO WOULD PLAY RUBICON AND PHEADRA BY T.G WHEN HE WAS..ER......"GETTING IT ON"(THATS AS POLITE AS I CAN PUT IT)
BUT BEING THE SENSITIVE AND CARING MAN(NOT TO MENTION IN TUNE WITH A WOMANS NEEDS) THAT I AM I WOULD PROBABLY PUT ON SOMETHING LIKE SEVERAL SPECIES OF SMALL FURRY ANIMALS GATHERED TOGETHER IN A CAVE AND GROOVING WITH A PICT
AS YOU CAN PROBABLY IMAGINE...I HAVE NOT HAD MANY DATES OF LATE!

I'm with you on that one brother - my wife & I regularly sing along to this one.
However, Bay Of Kings by Hackett - one of the sweetest acoustic guitar albums; perfect, for that, er, 'special' moment.

Instrumental stuff works best. That way your not singing along while doing the shag.

I agree with most of mentioned songs, specially Anthony Phillips' "God, If I Saw Her Now"... beautiful song! And what about Queen's "Love Of My Live"? Not from a really prog band, but it works OK

A love prog song
Wow! I can't believe that I'm the first to mention chick-melter "Cest la Vie," by ELP! My wife goes all googly-eyed to that one!
