My Favorite Love Song of all time [More:] and here, for the sake of balance, is my favorite dysfunctional relationship song, also by the Refreshments! Yay! I am so glad I finally figured this whole thing out.
Figured out posting songs, I mean, not love and relationships. I haven't even begun to figure those out yet. ;-)

Manfred Mann - Pretty Flamingo

Paul Westerberg doing a live version of the Replacement's "Achin' To Be."

Both these songs sketch the girls the singer pines for so well that you can see them perfectly in your mind, or they remind you of someone you've known

another song from the aforementioned underrated group. This goes directly to the "emotional honesty in music" discussion me and boringpostcards were having last night. This song is utterly plainspoken but packs an emotional wallop. A lot of my friends lived out the lyrics, so I imagine it hits them ieven harder.

My mom used to work with this guy. No one there ever believed him when he said he would be famous.

Eideteker, believe it or not he's a dead ringer for ParisParamus.

Seriously, I haven't the slightest idea how I could ever pick one favorite song of almost any type. I just...no...I couldn't do it. *sits in corner, rocking and muttering incoherently to self*

amber, that video may have just made my week. Thank you!

I never thought of "Achin to Be" as a love song, per se. It was what I would play when I was feeling heartbroken and misunderstood.

Something for the jazz fans, something for the Elvis Costello fans, something for the cover-song fans:

Mingus Big Band f. Elvis Costello - Invisible Lady

Everything But The Girl did a good cover of Corcovado.

I love the lyrics.
